Hey Eddie,
Another FJ20turbo 510 conceived, great move.
Fabricating the FJ20 fitting kit is pretty easy. The cross member is just
reversed and the only thing that is trimmed is the lip where the stock sway bar
fit under. The pedestals aren't touched at all. The lower control arm pin
holders have to be reversed and re-welded back in as they are tapered front to
back. You can make up the engine mounts pretty easily as well that use the
rubbers from the origianal 510 mount, i will send you some up close and
personal pics when i can to give you an idea on the design that works. The sway
bar that you need is from the Bluebird 910 SSS-T (Z18) but the Gazelle S12 bar
is pretty close too, you might be lucky but we can send you the correct one
over from Oz if you get stuck.
regards
Terry
