(Difference between revisions)

Revision as of 07:23, 28 January 2012

HB210 most Datsuns other than B110 use a 2.0 inch (50.8 mm) strut size. This article will help you choose parts for rebuild or replacement.

2" OD Strut Inserts

Most Datsun struts use 2 inch (50.8mm) diameter strut tubes. The insert itself will usually be 1-5/8 inch (41.3mm) diameter and thus too big for 45 mm struts, although some are 1.5" (38mm) and so will also fit in 45 mm Struts.
