Re: Datsun 240K donor parts

I haven't measured both arms with the same wheels on. However, a set of 14" Globe "Bathurst" pattern wheels off a 240k fitted nicely onto my 1600.  I assume they are pretty close to the same outer edge profile.   ----- Original Message ----- From: David Murphy To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, May 01, 2004 9:37 PM Subject: RE: Datsun 240K donor parts I'm running 40 offset rims on standard 1600 arms and the spacers are not only required to maintain original track, they are also necessary to stop the rim from rubbing against inside of the arm. This was with 15x6.5" rims. If running 16 or 17" rims, this would probably not be a problem as it was only out by a few mm's.   Do you know if the inside of the 240k arms are shaped differently to the 1600? If so I would be doubly interested!   David From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Zac Campbell Sent: Saturday, 1 May 2004 9:21 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Datsun 240K donor parts I picked up some free 240k arms today. I plan to fit them to the 1600 so that a +40mm offset wheel will fit perfectly inside the guard without spacers. If the 40mm wider track is true and 20mm each side, it should work perfectly :)   ----- Original Message ----- From: rclough To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 23, 2004 11:31 PM Subject: Re: Datsun 240K donor parts I can confirm that the 240K rear trailing arms bolt onto the 1600 crossmember.  They give you about 40mm wider track from memory.  Only other problem I can see is the shock absorbers are "reverse engineered" - the mushroom rubbers are at the bottom and the horizontal bolt on the top. ----- Original Message ----- From: Rob P To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, April 25, 2004 2:09 PM Subject: Re: Datsun 240K donor parts Yeah thanks Mal. If you can check the parts books re: A-arms 240K / 510 compatability that'd be good. It's only a rumour I've heard before.   Rob P ----- Original Message ----- From: maldat To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 22, 2004 2:53 PM Subject: Re: Datsun 240K donor parts Hello, window washer bottle..Head lights. Rear wheel clys are bigger than 1600.   Dont forget the rear springs if its a coupe or has IRS. I think the A arms are much the same but I can check parts books if you wish. All rear A arms I've seen here are as listed in SSS as spot welded and seam welded anyway.

It works fine and I drove it home and I am slowly dismantling it for parts to suit my 1600. I am keeping the struts and hubs/discs/calipers, dash instruments, starter motor, diff, output shafts, one spare fuel pump, steering wheel, rear "A" arms (I hear they fit a 510 and are stronger??) centre console, dash dimmer control, scuff plates, window winders, handbrake and cables, rear and side vision mirrors and some other bits and peices. Quite alot of good stuff on the 240K for 1600/510 upgrades. If anyone knows of any other good bits to remove that I have missed, let me know. Anyway, if anyone in Perth needs a good L24 motor and carby, 240K bumpers (excellent condition), rear tail lights (round type), grill, headlights, badges, interior trim (great roof lining and seats) or body panels let me know.
