anyone have any suggestion on were to get a good set of strut inserts for the front of a 1200
coupe
I checked most of the performance shock web site and they do not even list a 1200 any more...I'm
in the U.S.
thanks mike

I used inserts made for early toyota mr2 rear struts. you need to shorten the housings and install coil
over spring kit.

What are the dimensions of a 1200 insert?

Seems like Nissan kept the design of their strut inserts fairly similar, at least on the 510 and lter RWD's. The diameter of the body and shaft are all the same so. All of the RWD inserts
up to the (1st. gen.) Z31 300ZX will fit a 510 strut housing, the lengths and valving are the only differences. Inserts from other makes may work also... rear MR-2 inserts, front AE92
Corolla inserts, and Golf (A2 I think) front inserts have all been used in a 510.

You can cut and reweld the strut tube (Don Oldenburg of Design Products in Orange County can do this) to make up for this difference in length or use a spacer underneath the insert. Unless
you have really stiff springs I would try a B210 or 510 insert if you don't just go for the 1200 one's.

They have Koni inserts for the 1200 for $30 ea.
