Is the bolt spacing wider or narrower on the steering arm compared to the strut. Is the late 120Y strut the one with the PBR brakes or the Japanese style. You should be able to use the standard 1200 steering arms with the PBR style stuts, this was my favourite conversion for my old 1200's. If the bolt spacing on the steering arm is wider than the struts, you 'should' be able to use Stanza or Sunny struts.

Is there anyway you can post up photos of the struts & steering arms? & where abouts are you. There might be somebody just around the corner who can help. I live in Sydney, David (ddgonzal) is in the States. dfj280 is in Sydney as well. Please fill in the location part of your profile.

It depends on the struts. Measure the diameter- are they 45mm or 2" in diameter?

Iv heard of this issue before, you may need the 120y steering knuckle and ball joint and may be the lower control arms. You might find that the ball joint is different and the bolt pattern won't suit the 1200 control arm. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

G'day guys. long story im doing a front disc brake conversion on my grandfathers 1 owner 1200 ute. im using a late model 120y front strut and brake setup. i have hit a bump in the road though...... turns out the steering nuckles that bolt to the bottom of the struts have a different bolt hole pattern to the original 1200 setup. This is all new teritory for me as this is is my first datsun project

Can someone please help and let me know where i can find a set of nuckles(left and right)
Thanks
