Unless you fork out $1600 for a set of 55DCO/SP Webers from DatRats (
drooooool ). I agree!
Talking about datrats. I've just recieved a set of 30mm bump steer spacers
from Datrats (one tenth the cost of the 55's). They look real good (nice
shinny alloy) and will restore some angle to my lower control arms after the
lowering job I did last week before phillip Island. I had some minor bump
steer there.
This leads to my next question. There was some talk a little while back
about the location of the pivot point on the engine crossmember. Apparently
the early model had these higher up than the latter models. Can anyone
confirm this? Also after looking at the pics of the busted cross member, is
it worth modifying mine or just looking for a good early 1600 crossmember?
Does the distance between the two pivot points change as well or just the
height?
Other thing I want to do is make new adjustable lower control arms to
replace the datrally ones I am currently using. I would like to either go
for a monoball arrangement (ie How to hotrod your datsun book) or rod ends
where the lower control arm joins the crossmember. This would allow for lots
of positive castor without stressing the pivot point. Does anyone know of a
cheap source for these parts.
I am also looking into making a rear sway bay (ie How to hotrod your datsun
book) but that might be asking a little to much too soon.
Thanks
Trev
