slotting the holes in the lower arm to move the ball joint out

shortening the upper arm

moving the upper arm pivot down, but this really needs to have the uppers shortened at the same time

Long time no post...slack hey
No updates but Zoom mag wants to run a feature on the 260c, just have to organise a time with a photographer and drive 4hrs to brissy. Probably won't happen but lets hope so! :D

That would be awesome. I can't even remember a "C" in any magazine as a feature car. Snaps here and there like the one in Street Machine ATM but nothing serious.

Do it bro...I'll be the first one lining up to buy that mag!

:thumbsup:

Thanks guys, will get around to fitting them soon, i found these on ebay.com I just searched "datsun cedric NOS". they came from thailand (pretty sure there is heaps of datsun nos laying around in thailand lol) paid $250 plus freight which in my opinion was fair considering nissan would have more than likely sold them for double. they are almost too good to fit to the car lol

You won't have to go O/S if the ones you want are for the 280. 260C ones I don't have. I will sell you something...eventually :wink:
