That is the plan.
Still need to figure out prices and possible options.

Assembled? Just fabbed parts with a parts list? Somewhere in between? Opinions? 
Either way you would have to supply the arm itself as I have no way to make those. 

Video showing the issues with the stock design and how my new design works to fix those issues. 
 

I designed a new housing for the 620 idler that uses roller bearings. It uses roller bearings and thrust washers to reduce friction. I also added 2 more fasteners to solidly mount it to the frame. 

Here are some development pics. 

 

Looks like you can get a replacement on amazon?

Awesome, cool to see it is still out there. 

Hadn't seen the finished car. Looks great!

You could try this link. I have it saved for my next transmission build.

Acutally i saw just yet, that there are Three Holes, so i could mount the Crossmember more to the Back, i will try to flip it too like you said, maybe this will be just enough to just weld a wider Plate on Top where i could mount the Trans to 🙂 Thanks.

 

@]2eDeYe I would love to get a solid , fine machined Part, but is guess just to its weight, shipping will be Very expensive. BTW, How much are your Crossmembers?

The crossmember itself is $90.00, but yes shipping is a bit more. USPS shipping to Germany adds $110.00

You can slot the transmission mount and crossmember holes to get far enough back. 

The 240sx KA transmission is the FS5W71C. Bellhousing to c/l of the mount is a little over 22"

If your transmission is close to the same my crossmember will work for you. 

Shows how reliable my memory is haha

I read somewhere a long time ago that you needed a certain amount of posts before this site would allow you to post pics. Is this still true?

Just need a certain amount of posts, but I can change that. 
 

You should be able to attach pics now.

Thanks. I’m on the fence. I didn’t know you made KA mounts for the early 521 w/j13. Looking around online, those motors aren’t cheap anymore. Thanks again for responding to my question. I have some thinking to do. 👍👍👍

Let me know if you have any more questions.

I also got a message from username gabby.He is definitely a scammer. just got one of theses generic scammer messages they like to send out "hello, are you still looking? you can get in contact with Samson if its still available... his mail is samson.2millard@gmail.com". I asked the lowlife to take a pic of the item on any of todays newspaper. Then of course it went silent.

Flagged as a spammer and banned. 

Keep them coming, it's been a while since I got to dust of the ol hammer. 

Bought some gauges so I can keep an eye on the temps and oil pressure. 
I have a new bezel and new glass on the way for the speedo, will fix the blown fuse for the temp and fuel gauge when I pull that one out. 

That is very Yellow

Same guy Bascotbills@gmail.com

That email is not associated with any member. 

I am not sure how we can better protect against someone not using our forums. 
Was there a member that gave you that email? 

There is a rubber hose between the hard line and the slave cylinder at the transmission. 

That one is just cool, can tow the rest of them lol. 

was it this same guy or someone else?

Really? Same as Chevy?

Going from memory...

The Datsun transmission output is a 1" od 27 spline shaft
The slip yoke od is 1.25" and is the same diameter as a T18 10 spine output. 

All holdovers from early SAE datsuns

I’ve got a ‘69 521 with a J13. Do you know if these fit that frame? I’m not sure if the ‘68 520 and ‘69 521 frames are the same or not. Thanks Pidge. 

They are the same other than the engine mounts which is why I developed the frame side mounts.
They should also work in a 320, but I have not verified if the frame width is the same on those..

Awesome! Looks like I’ve got the L16 in it right now but the data plate says J series. Do you sell mounts for both? 

If the truck has the stock Lseries frame configuration you would not need the weld on frame side mounts. You would just need my engine side mounts. 

It really depends on how they swapped the L16 in there. Do you have pictures?
