proceed
as

care
must

be
taken
to

avoid

it
will
be

necessary

is
fitted
to

the

Standard

models
See

Fig

for
details
The

DeLuxe
models
are
however
additio

ally
equipped
with
a

Master

servo

unit
which

provides
a

much
higher
braking

performance
with
minimum
force

required
on
the
brake

pedal

A
tandem

are

fitted
as
standard

to
the
Datsun
