I can get my hands on a pair of s14 complete hubs is there a way i can adapt these to my 120y struts ? I dont have the money for the maddat upgrade just yet.

Or has anyone put a 5 stud setup on a 120y strut before ?

Thanks.

no S14 hubs and brakes wont go onto 120y sruts, brakes by themself can be adapted using the s13 caliper bracket

customs hubs are the only way ive seen 5 stud on the smaller datsun struts

There are 5 stud options, but you really need access to parts and measuring tools to work out what you need.

A guy had a set of 120y struts on ebay recently with 5 stud conversion, wasnt keen to share the info, but I believe he used a commodore hub.

Just have to go to a wreckers and do alot of measuring.

To use an S14 hub, you'd need to use the whole strut, knuckle, find a compatible ball joint to suit the knuckle, then sort out adapting the tie rods and stuff to your existing gear.

Are you sure Pigdog? I've found that many of the later and larger calipers foul on the caliper mounting eyes on the struts.

no not at all sure, just figured they should fit as they use the same mounts. but yeah i guess they probably would hit on other stuff first

i doubt you will find a bolt on 5 stud hub, commodore hubs would need different bearings or some sleeves made up to fit the 120y bearing shells
but i cant say i know of anything 5 stud that would have that small a stub axles

you'd be better off starting with larger struts as VN commodore discs/hubs bolts straight on, same as XF falcon disc/hub im pretty sure

I've found that the s13/14 calipers with the small rectangle hole in the top foul on the strut/mounting points etc, whereas the calipers that are solid metal fit no problem
