Guys just wondering if this is off a datsun

What is it, is it a nut? like a castle nut? like what connects your steering box to your steering rick.

Photo's just not clear enough to tell for sure.

Do you mean the square with the 4 bolt holes as well or just that nut looking think in the centre?

Its actually a diff flange that connects to the tailshaft. I need to know if any of the datto diffs have anything like it

most diffs have a 4 bolt diff flange with a nut like that in the middle. measure the distance between holes. or find out what diff it is that its attached to!

So yes it could be off a Datsun!

looks familiar
looks like the flange on the end of the 1200 diff (similar anyway - or maybe not, i remember something like it when we stripped a mates 1200 sedan for a rebuild)
but not sure too tell u the truth - im not upside down under a datto all day to no the intracasies of a diff flange plate

Hi my 1200 coupe diff flange looks the same but the pinion nut looks different. It has no holes for a split pin and the nut seems to be a self locking type (lock nut)

the holes on one side are aprox 45mm apart on the other they are 55mm apart

ive got one of each diff offered to australiasn 1200s(all 3 of them) so ill go have a measure

the piece of wire is definately not datsun and in all the datsuns I have owned I have never seen a nut like that one

Do the holes match up and is the shape of the flange the same despite the nut being different?
