Dear All
I have a Datsun 1200 GX Coupe (1975 model) imported from South Africa, I live in Queensland, Australia. My mechanic says (during her most recent service) that both the oil seals on the rear axle leaks the diff oil onto the rear brake shoes. I replaced the rear brake shoes 2 years ago, it was a big deal to source the parts as her brake shoes are very different from the Datsun 1200 sold here in Australia.
Now I wonder about the rear axle, and the oil seals. Are they also gonna be different and difficult to obtain here in Australia? Or is the diff and rear axle the same as the Datsun 1200 sold in Australia?
One of my friends says it was some local content story in 1975 that caused them to put different brake shoes on her in SA.
any advice and insights appreciated.
regards
JC
