OK cool, must be like you say, I dont know what year 120Y they were from as the guy I bought the 1200 off put them on.

I cant say how good my setup is till I finish the wagon and drive it, but like I mentioned ages probly a few years ago, is I am running XD,XF Ford etc, disk brakes and stub axles on my wagon. There is a bit involved to do this like;
Fiting the fords top and bottom ball joints to the 1000 control arms,
Redrilling the steering arm from the top to fit CRS tappered spacers to keep tie rod angles right,
Moving the bumpstop in to the crossmembers outside mounting bolt position and modifying the crossmember by removing the old bumpstop mount (so the caliper doesnt foul on the crossmember while turning)
And due to the offset of the wheels to fit within the guards no smaller than 15" wheels as 14"s with this offset foul on the caliper.
Like I said I cant say how good they are till I actually drive it.
One thing I have to look further into is the bottom ball joints, as Ted Robinette pointed out to me that the ford springs forces down on the top balljoint while the 1000 forces onto the bottom balljoint. But with a bit of investigating this will be overcome.

Oneday ( soon I hope ) I will drive it again.
Only come off the road for some carpet and a stereo, a few years ago but one thing led to another. (like always I have plenty of time doing cars for customers but no time for mine) Oh well one day
