josh_t Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 for the most part yes. there are very subtle differences between the two that really dont matter much. Quote Link to comment
king bee66 Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 a 210 is a few inches wider then a b210. so no, it will not fit Quote Link to comment

josh_t Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 damn i coulda swore they were identical. Quote Link to comment
80datson Posted October 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 a 210 is a few inches wider then a b210. so no, it will not fit Well way about the bolt pattern for the struts? The brace is adjustable so a few inches won't be bad.. Quote Link to comment
josh_t Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 you could do what that guy with the 240 did and have a custom one made. or make your own. have a machine shop make you the top plates and the ends for the bar, and get a rectangular piece of aluminum tubing, have a reputable company weld it unless you can make pretty ,strong welds on aluminum. then powder coat it whatever color you want. summit sells a powder coating kit for a decent price if you have a spare oven. fun project if you ask me.

RedBanner Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 The strut tops on a 210 stick up a few inches taller, might be to big around to fit thru a brace made for a b210. probly make one with just basic tools. Quote Link to comment
RedBanner Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Well way about the bolt pattern for the struts? The brace is adjustable so a few inches won't be bad.. same bolt pattern, but, if you put 210 tops on a b210 ut will lower it 1-2 inches, or b210 one will lift your 210.But the pattern is the same Quote Link to comment
king bee66 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 the bolt pattern is the same for most if not all datsuns. which is one reason so many people throw 280zx struts on as a "bolt on" upgrade Quote Link to comment
