Thought of that too.
Very hard to find and little pricey for the way I want my weapon headded into low 11,s maybe even 10,s on any quarter mile sling shot run. Going to push for bigger disc's and spindle's I will change whole mount to suit if it is required. ALL new component's No fear here.. So I went hunting for and a couple of 1974 escort brake booster's and extention,s to move all the master cyclinder the lot to old battary mount located at the extreme front inner right guard ; looking from the driver's seat out.. Had them rebuilt first at $180 each ozzie.. But no I left the drum's on all round.. Had then all skimed by mobil dude.. 80 dollar's ozzie for all four Drum's.. Not bad for a Sunday price.. Now I crap my pant's !! until I'm used to the differecne in preasure needed to apply lol, Heap's less preasure needed now.. Heap's better than the non brake booster master cyclinder style of yester year. Great as it was in state of the art 1969 time's ..

..Removed 23 mil sit's fine now has maybe 10 mil clearance over the wheel heap's of room.
Even made nice little bed for the spring to reseat it self into .. it seated better than I thought it would .. Spring had to be reshaped as well lost 4 mill each end . Not to hit the castle nut side of the lower ball joint.. Completed both side's wide up jack 25 mil drill bit. To push the spring off the rubber mount.. and a solid long screw driveror lever to open the gapp that little bit more to release the rubber block . peace of piss remove the wheel's only hard bit of the total job.. 25 minute's each side iin and out.. Smoke and burnt rubber every where Minster of war spewing at Me again. lol . Reshaped them with a grinda.. I did get new set first and doctored the old set incase of the o f### no headache. Just don't know murphy's law thing you all know what I mean..

i think i got most of the rear bushes in Nolathane,
and mabee the radius rubbers too, I think I kept the numbers, I'll have a look when I get home, but that doesn't help your lowering, Most of them have sagged nice and low anyway..lol

That's mint pigdog..
Now I will finish attacking the old rubbish (worn out no fault of it's own). I've spent many hour's at coventry's with the complete nolathane bush range and a good vernia gauge . I've rebuilt most of the front and rear bush's. My front spring's haved been reset 25 mil lower than standard ride height. Back spring,s fifty mill higher because of the 130 litre fuel tank on the tray.... front already hit's high kerb's and low fly buck's .. SPEED Bump,s look like mount everest when you are dragging your bum., over them feel that high too.. Only chassing 20 mil max more... WITH FULL FUELTANK AND DRIVER. She almost ready for major show and tell, not much longer beatie!!!! rebuilding a 1000 (b10) is fun to say the least EVEN more fun if you got two of them.

Thanks Pigdog, you're a champ.
This should give a good idea of how it all works & it's a marvel of simplicity. The rubber block between the end of the spring & the wishbone is the secret, but remember that the minimum permitted ride height in B10's is regulated by the headlights. The law, at least in NSW, says that the minimum headlight height is 600mm [23.6"] & for street use, I can vouch that this is a good & practical setting as it has enough suspension travel for acceptable comfort, but is low enough to look the part. Remember that if you take. say 1/2" from the rubber, the car will be lowered by about 3/4" & the freshly cut surface will wear quickly at first, lowering it even more, so move carefully & do it twice if necessary rather that to overdo it & not be able to undo it.

Love the +ve camber from factory I've just replaced all rubber components in my front susp.steering on the wagon to get over rego Inc the idler buses and caster rod bushes All still avail from Nissan However.... the under spring seat rubbers that adjust ride height are listed NLA ex Japan once existing stock is gone So if you need em or want em for spares do it now.
