Re: b210 seat exchange

I have 1980 B310 ("Datsun 210") seats in my '71 1200. I didn't modify the 1200 floor.
I hadn't heard that B210 tunnels differed between auto and manual. On the other hand it is a fact for the B110 as photos on this site (and the parts manual) demonstrate. Quote: how many versions of 56a 4 speeds were there? 1. F4W56L, as used in Datsun 1200 2. F4W56L close ratio 3. F4W56L mid-close ratio 2. 1974-up F4W56A, stronger I seem to recall there was a F4W56B as well, but that might be my imagination  I believe there were also front-wheel-drive 56s.

Don't have them handy but I can take some over the next few days. Are you interested in the seats, or what I did to install them?

Duncan,
Do you have any pictures of the Mazda swap? I'd love to see it. Thanks. michael

I temporarily installed '79 210 seats into my 1200. I used the 1200 seat rails and had to do some minor mods to the seats, but nothing terribly drastic.
I put Mazda Miata seats into it a month or so ago, and modified the Miata seats rails to go into the 1200. No holes were drilled into the floor, but I did fabricate some rear mounts that were welded to the floor.

the only difference in tranny tunnels is the AT tunnel is bigger, si i've heard.
The hump for the cat is further back from the tranny, so shouldn't have any effect. seems like they'd get cheap at some point and just use the AT chassis for all of them. but i guess they didn't

This swap didnt work in a later model year as the tranny hump got taller to accept the larger trans. OMG! thats the info I've been looking for about my 77 120y! did this make the transmission tunnel the same for auto and manual? My 74 sedan is flat and the 77 coupe is stepped like you said. Which brings me up to think about another piont, how many versions of 56a 4 speeds were there?

Ain't that the truth! My 76 B210 has about a 3" difference in height for that cat! CA smog laws suck!Quote:

b210 seats did not fit neatly in my 210 it required doing bad things to make them fit. the seats were out of a 79 and i was putting them in an 81. I think i used the 79 rails and made the bolt holes really large (or something) the end result was seats that fit and had less holes.
IF you have a datsun that didn't come with a catalytic converter these things are not an issue as much, in CA the cats keep getting bigger and the mountings for seats gets wackier.

Years ago I adapted Camaro seats to my Datsun rails. This was in a '74 B210. This swap didnt work in a later model year as the tranny hump got taller to accept the larger trans.

Always use your original rails. We never drill new holes to mount new rails.
B110, B210 and B310 seats fit, and probably other datsuns like fwd models of the 70s. You can also fit Ford, Suzuki, whatever using the Datsun rails. In the tech section there is some pics and diagrams on how to do it for a B110.
