Heya guys as promised im doin a quick wirte up of how i converted a sr s13 strut brace to fit on my datsun 200b
do this at your own risk, this isnt the best way nor is it the strongest but its the cheapest, quickest and it works, i will be getting new end plates made up but i wont worry about it till the ca18det goes in
now with the sr one you cant run the standard air box, i have put a short pod on there for the time being, i reckon if you use a ca s13 strut brace the kink would probably clear the airbox
so we start with the brace, i paid $10 for it hence why i didnt mind hacking it up but this is why i had to, as u can see the tower brackets are to close together even with the bolts set to its lowest setting it wont go in so we need to make something smaller
i was tossing up the idea about cutting the ends and retapping the bolts that screw in but wasnt sure how much that would effect the bar, also was a bit of a waste to put on a new bar too so i went with the drill the towerplates trick
first align the bar so it is even on both sides and then add another 5 cm to where you will drill so you can tention the bar mark this
pry open the sides of the towerplate to accomidate the ends of the bar to slip into it
as you can see it wont take much to get it to sit nice
now simply drill the holes, move the bolts in the end to align with the drilled holes and put the bolts through, tighten everything up and DONE!
