Thanks Bill, Ive read about that morry on one of the british sites. Ive been thinking about going a similar route with the way the original builder dealt with the suspension.

Thanks for the feedback Jon. I agree the back needs to go down more......maybe another inch or two.

Looking forward to hearing of your progress.

Wow. Impressive bit of work you've got ahead of you there. Can't wait to see this play out. You'd have an amazing set of before and after pictures if you took some. No one would believe you once it's finished.

The 120Y diff can be too narrow. If you can find one, a Sunny diff is wider than the 120Y and a more suitable width. I can't recall the dimensions at the moment, there may be some older topics on here with more detail.
I think there is also a stack of detail on the datsun1200 website also.

Thats what quite a few folk's have been telling me Matthew but what Im thinking is that by using the 120Y diff I dont need to shorten it to get maximum rubber under it.

With the right offset rims, you can do anything, but depending on your front brake setup, it is likely that the offset of your front wheels will be different to your rear wheels, with more dish at the rear. This may suit you but spares problem etc may not be to your liking - up to you.
the widest tyre I've heard of fitting under a standard non-widened sedan rear guard is a 205, I may stand corrected on that one, it's a very close fit to both the inside and outside.

Hi Mark. Looking good,but can you get it to sit lower? No such thing as too low,except in Mr Plod's eyes,but what would he/she know.
Cheers Jon

Sure can Jon. Spoke to my chassis/fabrication guy and have a plan of attack!

Sounds interesting. Looking forward to hearing the details.
P.m. Some details if you want to keep it quiet in the short term.
I have also been doing a fair bit of research into donor chassis swaps,
if allowed by an engineer. Cheers Jon
