#11 Re: Tension Rod Kit for Datsun 1200 from www.thezstore.com (23-4190)

The kit finally arrived, and yes it will work on the 1200 (B110) model without any modifications whatsoever. It uses the same rod diameter and locking nut thread sizes. I have included the instruction sheet that they provided for installations on the 510, 610, 710, and B210 models. These instructions can also be used for the B110. BTW, the steel measuring gauge dimension is 57.5mm. If your kit was supplied without the gauge, you can use a set of calipers instead to measure the distance between the large washers to set the correct preload on the bushing assembly.

BTW,there is a slight modification that is required. It's very simple. The large washer that fits behind the front bushing (against the tension rod bracket welded to the car) is just a bit too small for the kit's plastic piece. A simple fix is to remove that washer (it's spot welded at 2 places, very easy to remove) and replace it with one from a 510 or B210. If you don't want to change the stock washer and have access to a lathe, turn the plastic OD of 41 mm down to 37.5 mm and it will fit nicely against the stock 1200 washer. Attached is a picture showing the complete setup on the bench. Keep in mind that on the picture, the car bracket would be located between the two larger washers in the middle of the assembly.

Attached is a photo after the kit is installed. All what is left is to fit the rubber boot over the front part of the assembly.
