HB210 and 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. For 1200 struts, see 45 mm Strut Inserts.

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.
