If you need to make a stablizer bar a bit wider to match longer LCA`s You can heat the front bends with gas torch until only very dull red and bend them out to suit the greater width requirement. while the bend is still very hot dip it into a tub of oil(used sump oil is fine) to re temper the bar.
I have done this several times on front bars for improved production racing and had no problems. (The cars are front runners and have had the bars on for years)

EDIT. Hint: Mark out with chalk on your shed foor the shape you need the bar to be and use this as your template when bending.

Hello,
The Brand new.
CUSCO

i just put in a 120y (jap spec) bar in my 82 ute, 20mm dia by my vernier calipers, the bar is about 30mm wider in total, but the D bushes line up perect. you will need to use the 120y bushes and you can keep the 1200 metal caps. the olny problem i found is the middle of the bar come very close to the sump and needed a masage with a ball peen hammer to give it clearence, when the suspention cycles up, the front of the bar will come down and hit the bottom front corner of the sump.

120y sway bars came in 17.5mm and 20mm
so when replaceing make sure you get the right size D-bushes

If you are running an a-series..it will definitely fit. But you need to get bigger D-clamps and rubbers to fit them. Getting the parts off the 120Y helps.


It is unlikely to fit if you are running a CA18.

Thanks for the response "Old-School" ... i am on the otherside of the world! United Kingdom. We are doing a restoration on a B110 Coupe. But for that price I may just fly to AUS! The Datsun parts in Uk don't come cheap! Many thanks for the offer though!

I have a B110 - 1200 Coupe with Stanza lower control arms and ball joints. Plus the Stanza Struts. Anyway the 120y will fit with no probs.

Where are you located??? If in WA I have a 120y Stabiliser bar and a 1200 Stabiliser bar. $20 each.

Thanks for the posts guys.

The problem I am facing is I have to buy a 120y (B210) sway bar that is non refundable. So I need to know for sure that this will fit on the Stanza LCA's and Stanza Sub axle assembly.

I have seen the post on the Upgrade in the Struts Section to Stanza but it does not mention anything about the Sway Bar used.

Can anyone please confirm this for me.

Thanks.

120Y bar is 19mm and the 1200 bar is 17mm, both are the same shape and can be interchanged.

stanza and sunny sway bars are too wide, pretty sure a 120y sway bar is just as thick as them anyway
