once again a wealth of knowledge pigdog.. thanks again!
I might aswel spend the time goin to a 5 stud, and now that you mention it the ford pattern would be better as i wouldnt mind having a nice set of jap rims on it one day, and not much harder to obtain parts!

Ive decided to try and go with the following

Front- 1200 struts with slotted XF falcon hubs and disks, try to adapt the XF calipers on also with a custom bracket of some sort.. if not ill try a few different calipers i have lying around the joint

Rear- Shortened R31 diff, shortend and resplined EB falcon axles, Hopefully the EB disks are around the same diameter and thickness as the R31 disks, so i can retain the calipers.

Ill be starting a build thread when things get underway in the next 2 weeks, so ill post pics and stuff up then

So nah jake i wont have the trouble really if i use the 1200 struts, not sure on the wheel choice as of yet, will probably be the last thing i do. Not sure wether to go with the skinny front fat rear look or a set of nice offset bronze jap rims hmmm

would probably need to run non 1200 struts for the falcon hub/disc to work as you need the larger datsun stub axle. could always get a pair of struts bent so that you have the same kinda stub axle angle as 1200 struts do, as this would be sorta what limits wheel choice. as you can do the swap with only minimal track increase if need be

ah yeh ur correct, i have a set of 180b struts here. might just get the falcon hub\disks and do some experimenting! ill also have the 1200 struts out of the sedan so i can do some measuring and get the angles right.
