Hey, does any one know where to source some drop spindles for a 620 or a 83 up 720 datsun from here in Aus??
They are too expensive to ship from the US.

I assume these are lowered stub axles?
You could try the Castlemaine Rod Shop. They made lowered front axle assemblies for a range of cars.

OK.
But may be worth ringing them, as they may not have their complete product range on the web site. They may even make up a set - but you may need to breathe in slowly through clenched teeth after the answer to the big question - $$$$?

Aussi $ is getting better against the USD, tried the US pricing recently?

Hahaha Cheers mate, Yeah I tried the US sites, they are so cheap, but when you get to the part where you enter your shipping details. Your looking at 600-700 just to ship items. What a joke. And I will try to call them today and see if they have any.

Thanks for your help

Another way is to speak to to some of the Race or Off Road Race type workshop around the traps and see if you can add some stuff to their next shipment. Who knows they might even organise the purchase and all the paperwork for you. I can give you some names in SA.
