Hi Steve
i have a 1978 Datsun 620 with a 4x4 conversion kit
i need to change the 2tie rod end on the longer bar
but the tie rod end from a CJ 7 the diameter is 5/8 but the bar on the truck is bigger 7/8
what you think they used instead of a CJ7?

thanks

Hey,
I was wondering if you had a 620 ka24 swap mount bracket kit in stock.

Hi, I would like to purchase a set of mounts to swap a sr20det into my Datsun 720.

You can repair the oil pan stripped drain bolt hole. Buy a Ford 18mm spark plug insert kit, it includes taps required. Only Ford, all others have tapered seats, the Ford has the necessary flat mating surface. Also buy a Toyota oil drain plug, they are 18mm. Drill and prep the worn out oil pan insert location, apply the spark plug insert with included sealant. Use the Toyota plug with some lube to install and torque the insert. Let cure, remove the Toyota plug, add a Toyota drain seal gasket [I usually coat them with Permatex number 1 sealant], insert, enjoy.
You cannot just replace the helicoil insert. The original insert is "SAE semi-finished" thread. Doesn't exist in the real world. It's like a straight, non tapered, pipe thread.
I repaired my RL411 oil pan this way 30 years ago, it still works and doesn't drip or leak.

Hello Admin. Thanks for allowing me in. Hope to start with your recommendations to learn the basics first. I will do my diligence with what you shared and I will be prepared for my submitted topic once completed. Thanks again.

Len's last post to this forum was 1 day prior to a surgery on Oct. 8, 2018. I'm sorry to report that he did not recover and he passed away on Oct. 14th. I retired 1 week ago - and finally have time to follow up on more loose ends. My retirement plan was to encourage and join Len in actually attending Datsun events. Sadly that was not to be. For now I am keeping the 510. However, I know nothing about mechanics so am relying on a friend to put it in a bit better running condition. The SX was sold, but still have a nonrunning 1977 F10 that needs to be sold. There are various Datsun pieces and parts, transmissions, engines, etc here - that are available for fair offers. Trouble is - I have to rely on a friend (currently busy farming) to identify. I can take photos - or if Datsun Mike plans to travel through E. WA, let me know and perhaps you can assist. Sorry - I don't know the protocols (selling?) for this Forum or the best/safest way to proceed. Thanks, Karen

I am sorry to hear he passed, he was a great contributor here and will be missed.
Photos will help with identification of parts. We have a classified section for actual selling of parts.
You should be able to post anywhere in the forums now, if you start a thread in general discussion I am sure everyone would like to help figure out what you have and you may find some help close to your location. You will need use a photo hosting site such as imgur or postimage for posting pics.
Please let me know if you need any help with the forums.
