Datsunocaster Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Is the rear bumper off a 76 B210 coupe compatible to put on a 78 B210 hatchback??? They look to be the same. 1 Quote Link to comment
B210GX Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Coupe and hatchback are the same.. you mean a sedan vs coupe. No they are different. Quote Link to comment
Datsunocaster Posted August 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 So the Sedan and hatchback rear bumpers wont match up at all even if its the same year?? Quote Link to comment
Datsunocaster Posted August 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 The guy has a 76 b210 2dr coupe rear bumper. I want to put the rear bumper on my 78 b210 hatchback. Will his bumper fit on my hatchback. I dont think I can explain it better. Sorry Im new to Datsun stuff.... Quote Link to comment
Sierra Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 76 B210 and 78 B210 bumpers are a little diferent (less bolts), but I think the 76 bumpers can fit the 78. http://datsun1200.com/modules/mediawiki/index.php?title=B210_Bumpers Quote Link to comment
B210GX Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 The bumpers have a different shape to them. .. even the AUS coupe to sedan bumpers are different Do you not have a rear bumper? or just bad ends? Quote Link to comment
Datsunocaster Posted August 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Not to concern if its not an exact match to the front bumper but I just want to know if it will fit good. Quote Link to comment
Dguy210 Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 All B210 bumpers front or rear will bolt on to any other B210. The bolt spacing is exactly the same. The difference is in how far the shock absorbers stick out, 74-75 are shorter than 76-78 but this means the 78 bumper on a 74 shock is pulled in a bit more. 78 B210 hatchback bumpers are only mildly different from the sedan bumpers. Use the the metal gap cover that comes with your year car. I am currently running 78 hatchback bumpers on my 74 4 door sedan. Bolted right up and they look fine. The only minor difference is the rubber ends on the rear bumper have a slight angle difference. This is not really noticeable. Quote Link to comment
Datsunocaster Posted August 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Great then it should work... Thank you!! Quote Link to comment

Carry on! I think you may be right about the early heavy ones. Very different angle and even general design.

hurricane14 Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Anyone know if the black ends are available? Hot a pair from P&P today. Straight an chrome is great, but end pieces are broke.... Rhanks Quote Link to comment
Sierra Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 They are kinda hard to find in good shape. I have never seen then for sale new. Your best bet is to be patient and wait untill a set pops up in a junkyard. Quote Link to comment

Dguy210 Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Looks like a good starting point. Lol at the Datsun forklift stickers. The rims look like old school wire look rims, minus the center cap and wire. How's the interior? Quote Link to comment
Datsunocaster Posted September 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Interior is ok. Need to give her a good cleaning. Floor carpet on driver side torn up but cant really see it once I put a floor mat down. Front seats where at one point recovered but they need a cleaning as well. Ill get more pics later this week.
