Cut and weld is the solution. Use high strength steel sheet metal as Datsun used originally

Much better to cut the rusty parts out. Then weld in new metal.

Borg Warner rear end, as used in 1976-78 120Y sedans. They are the same width as the 1200 diff & somebody in the past has replaced your original H145 diff. I bought a 1200 coupe for parts in 1985, mainly for the A12 5 speed & it had one of these in it. Drove the car home then wrecked it out, cause the repair list to get it registered was 2 foolscap pages long. it was dark green with a vinyl roof. Long time past.

Looks like you're slowly getting there. Good work with the restoration so far.
Oh and the Borg Warner rear axle is stronger than the standard h145. Its about the same strength as a h165 apparently. You can view topic.
