wayno Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 All the glass is the same, but the door latch mechanisms might not be, even though they look the same, just everything else is basically the same. Quote Link to comment

datsunaholic Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Attempt at your own risk. I have a '66 520 windshield and a '70 521 windshield... the 521 one is a half inch wider. Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 The real questions is: where are all the other parts from this wrecked 521, and when will they be for sale? 1 Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Attempt at your own risk. I have a '66 520 windshield and a '70 521 windshield... the 521 one is a half inch wider. There has been talk about this in the past, but my glass guy has a 66 520 windshield he uses as a template, he cut me a new windshield using that and it is the same as a 521 windshield I have, I have also measured them, and they look the same to me, but I have not removed my cracked 66 520 yet to know for sure, but the tape measure says they are the same.

TENDRIL Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 haha well now im a bit confused should i start a search for a 521 WS? to replace my cracked 520? Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 haha well now im a bit confused should i start a search for a 521 WS? to replace my cracked 520? If I were you I would take a tape measure and take several measurements, force back the windshield gasket and make sure you get a proper reading, I actually cut the gasket out of the way because I am using a new one, so I could see the edge on both sides. Then measure a 521 windshield, I believe you will have your answer. Quote Link to comment

Charlie69 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 I have both windshields 2 521's and 1 520 and they are the same. I put a 521 in my 66 520 with no problems. Quote Link to comment
