hi guys, I have just scored a july 1975, 120Y four speed manual sedan... proud as punch... don't know what I'll do yet... keep it A series or "go the L series!" the A12 is dead... NO compression...

every bolt on panel is bent... bar the bootlid and bonnet... I have a spare pair of LF and LR doors and a RR door... I do have a pair of "semi straight" guards (from "The Defect")

but the good thing is that "sleeping beauty" has no sill rust! (haven't had a good chance to see what she's like underneath- she's parked in grass...)

unfortunately I haven't got any pics

will get some soon...

Good on ya!

Good on ya! can't think of any else to say right now

so far, I'm thinking of ditching the H150 for my spare 120Y BW diff, and updating the brakes to the (aussie spec) eqivalent - then if I do go to "L" I'll be ready!...

is the japanese Master Cylinder the same size as the aussie MC? because if they are the same I'll keep the existing one...

Team_dat, or anyone else that has gone to "L" what is involved?... I know that the castor rod brackets need to be modified... the RSP (Radiator Support Panel) needs to be opened up, and a hole needs to be drilled in the firewall for the hydraulic clutch Master cylinder...any other alterations reqired? just weighing up my options...

then again I do have 4 A12's around the farm...

and a neighbour's daughter has a sunny with A12...

and her brother has an A14 powered sunny

I had a XD ute with a 250 2V out of an XA sedan... that was crazy - 120Km/h fishtails (on gravel - of course)

The master cylinder bore for Jap spec models [up to June '76] is
17.46mm [0.687"] for cars with unboosted brakes &
19.05mm [0.75"] for cars with Master Vac booster.

For Aussie spec cars [after June '76] the bore size is
19.05mm [0.75"]

Source. Gregories service & repair manual No 111A. These manuals are really good, maybe you should think about geting one. [current bid $1]

thanks Dodgeman but I already have the Gegorys 120Y service manual... my cousin found it at a spap meet... $5! it's wiring scematics came in handy during "The Defect's" Manualization... shame It didn't mention anything about the auto crank spacer

oh well I have an unmolested A12 flywheel now

the service manual is up at the farm... should have grabbed it...
