billet 510 control arms

[Cuts metal like mad]

I was browsing ebay and saw these... :eek: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/DATSUN-510-240-260-280Z-BILLET-LOWER-CONTROL-ARMS_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ107061QQihZ012QQitemZ220252901641QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

 

They look pretty trick, I can't believe that someone would go through the trouble. Wish him luck though I imagine they won't sell well but you never know... many of the 510 collectors these days seem to have plenty of money.

 

If you want some for someday you may want to "invest" sooner than later... all the "good" dime parts always go out of production.

Waste o' money. Build your own with the stock ends for a fraction of the price.

Yep, the unsprung weight savings isn't worth it! Arms are only 50% unsprung anyways. Try lifting a ZX strut, 50x's the weight of the LCA, and a strut is 100% unsprung weight!!!

Just cut off the end of your stock one and weld a small chunk of steel on. tap a 3/4 20 thd go to Mcmaster- carr and buy some heim joints and your done. Or for half that I'll do it for ya. I've done quite a few sets.
