RE: R30/31 questions

[E Smith]

Most struts I have come across have 80mm bolts centres. They come in two different base hole sizes for steering arm flanges of  39.5 mm and 53.5 mm The 53.5 mm base struts have two or more different offsets. The stub axle is offset outwards to give negative offset steering geometry when used with the offset balll joint. When used on conventional steering arms with a spacer, they greatly increase scrub radius. This can cause some handling problems.  Cheers, Feral Errol <http://www.datrats.com.au/> -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Eddie Rattley Sent: Wednesday, February 19, 2003 6:18 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: R30/31 questions I can't answer the first bit (R30's and R31's weren't sold here in the UK. But, there are at least two different diameter strut bases and different bolt spacings. I think most later models have the larger diameter ...910, S12 etc. Those would be the same size as an R30 I'd guess. Guys on the list there will know more though.   Cheers, Eddie   ----- Original Message ----- From: Ben C To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 19, 2003 11:17 AM Subject: R30/31 questions do R31 struts fit onto R30 steering arms?? or what NON-offset steering arms to the R31 struts fit onto??   does the base of all datsun struts have the same diameter and bolt spacing/pattern?? --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
