UPDATE* somehow I found and bought two more RL411s... one has been sitting since '82 and is begging to be restored. the other was bought from a salvage yard with hopes of restoring but will now be the parts car to keep my 2 RLs on the road! I might start a thread for the SSS restoration.. its a red auto '67 with awesome patina. I currently daily the blue RL pictured above. At least I have a wheel assembly now!

@mklotz70 comes through with some good info. I might not be the guy to do it.. but it’s a great step by step for a relatively simple way to solve the issue. 🤙

Kulda figgurd 😉 I’ve looked into it a little, but I could put some more energy into finding someone who will take it on. Most guys are scared to touch my car…

As you saw by the title, I’m desperately looking for a wheel hub assembly for my RL411 Sedan. It runs and drives and breaks necks with the best of them. here’s the story. I bought the car about a year ago and it was a decent running project. One of the issues was it had a busted bearing in the drivers side front wheel assembly. It had been busted in there so long that when I tried to replace it, my wheel hub had been gauges out so deep that it would no longer hold a bearing in place. Obviously less than ideal.. I’ve been looking for this part (or a fabricator that can help) for over a year now and thought maybe someone on here has RL parts car they wouldn’t mind helping me out with. TIA

Thanks @Draker, I messaged @MikeRL411 👍

Who has parts for these available? Have a runner/driver that only needs a few things to tightener up! Thanks in advance

We’ll get it sorted.. thanks for that thread. I wonder how well those welds held up for him.

Got me a gem of a 411! 1967 Datsun RL411 (badged DATSUN1600 for about 4 months before they all started being badged SSS) I just need a few things to get her buttoned up proper, the main one being an exhaust manifold to replace my cracked one. I might look into repairing it and powder coating it for longevity.. if nothing turns up decently soon. thanks for your help!

I’ve actually talked to the guy and he has ‘everything you need to put it together’.. it’s just in shambles.. After a few questions he shows you the patch work on the rocker and the areas he just found bondo. I mean it’s not the worst idea.. but it’s a lot of work. I’m about to pm you

I was about to drive all the way down to central California for one deal that fell through.. this would be half the drive. I have some good friends that would help me trailer something home. No problem. I appreciate any help brother.

I’m in Coeur d’Alene ID so that not too far for the amount of motivation I have.. haha. Pm me some more info for sure! 🙏 thanks!

pm’d thanks!

That’s not super far from me...... 😁 might have a Saturday drive in the works!

Looking for a ‘67 411 Found one when I was 19 years old in 2004/5.. and tragically was totaled in an accident that wasn’t my fault. I’m hoping to find another. I’m sure one of you cool ratsun gentlemen could pass the torch on to someone who’s dream car seems to be pretty hard to nail down. I’m not scared of a project. Thanks in advance! Matt
