busy with the engine and gearbox mounts , but need some 8mm flat bar bend, but it seems like every engineering place is already closed for the year. so i will have to wait for next year to mount the engine and gearbox.

still so much to do but the mounting of the engine is keeping everything back.

Can't you just warm it a acetylene flame and bend it.

don't have any of that.

things is coming along slowly. Did the mesh on the grill and made some templates for the engine mounts.
Also did the temp mount on the radiator and fan.

the work is coming on slowly. Engine mountings is coming on slow but they need to be perfect. Did the engine mount today but the engine needs to shift slightly to the right.

Just waiting for the shops to open after the holidays then i can get the correct bolts to mount the gearbox.

Then i need to complete the mod to the firewall for the dizzy and water pipes.

Which struts will fit with the least modifications to get bigger discs on my coupe ??

Is there any coilovers that fits on the 1400 UTE struts ?

Quote:Datsun 1200 struts. You need zero modifications to fit 280ZX discs to it. See 280ZX Brake Upgrade

Thank you ddgonzal.

Will go and have a look of i can find some discs in this place.
Do you know where i can get a template of the bracket for the caliper ? Would be easier to know the size and how far the holes needs to be from each other instead of trying to make one.
