CAD files of conversion parts....dont think there would be to many people out there doing FEA on the parts they are making for their own private conversions, usually you just a case of building something that joins the gaps, making a dummy part or 2 to figure out what will work

maddat crossmembers arent overly expensive....but to put it in perspective i think my crossmember would have cost me about $10 plus a half days work

i hole-sawed a hole in the bottom of the firewall, put a gromet in it and ran the cable through there.
Ran the cables through the car under the carpet

yeah its only the really early CAs that didnt have the girdle apparently, ive never seen a CA without it....the DE is pretty much identical to a DET apart from the pistons and oil squirters and different water outlets in the block accessories

datsport use the wilwood mechanical park brake on their r32 rear brake setups for 1600s and baz was saying its not the nicest caliper to use because of something to do with the adjustment

a single handbrake will hold the car, but i would doubt its legalities for road use

And a h165 should be fine for most NA 4 cylinder engines in a 1200 if you aren't constantly doing burnouts and such. They hold up to turbo CAs if you drive normally

I wouldn't bother with the stock disc front end, they won't really do any better than well adjusted drums. And its only the later aus assembled 120y struts that have the larger stub axle. Only reason to go standard disc struts would be if you are going to put s13 or similar front brakes onto them

Jmac, you know you can just use later model 120y or 1200 ute steering arms to do that job. Not to try and steal your business or anything datgx

After a couple of parts i need to put together another CA, so if anyone out there has these parts they feel like selling let me know

What i need

DET dropping resistor
DET 3 wire O2 sensor
Starter motor
Plenum half of the inlet manifold
Turbo Oil feed line
Turbo Return line

Think thats about all

Just reply here if you have parts or shoot me a msg on 0438023584

Cheers
Nick

Im sure someone will organise a cruise one of these days. Might go to DatNats also for a look...possibly

Also should have the other CA built for the suzuki in the next couple of weeks, and that means that i need to get the 1200 tuned so that i have the ECU AFM and injectors to use in the suzi engine. So it should be lots of happy fun times when that happens
