Hi guys,
I did a quick search on here (and a long search on google) and come up with nothing so far....

Is there any way to fit Z31 front struts into a 1600?
I know that the bolt spacing for the steering knuckle is different, so is probably the only thing stopping us putting them in 510's?
Could you somehow also use the Z31 steering knuckle, and somehow bolt that up to a 510 ball joint? or modify the lower control arm to fit the Z31 ball joint?

Any idea's?

Dan I had them in my 180b. Ideally you just need to shorten the strut tube and you need to Fabricate a spacer for the ball joint as the hole is larger in the base of the strut.

I believe there are bump steer spacers available that have the right size centre section to accommodate, from the USA.
