d.p Posted December 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) I never looked. I just assumed it wasn’t because it goes stud > plate > rubber > mount IIRC. Don’t even know how it’s threaded in the mount? Edited December 9, 2020 by d.p 1 Quote Link to comment

Don’t even know how it’s threaded in the mount? It was just a thought, problem is it could be more then just a stud... could be something encased in the rubber.... 1 Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Are the threads really that bad..... Maybe put it on the metal motor bracket and see how far you need to tighten it.... Is it hard to turn the nut or does it just stop threading all together? 1 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 11220-B2000 for both. Who you going to trust Nissan and their part numbers or RA using a generic picture one size fits all??? 2 Quote Link to comment
mainer311 Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 (edited) Yeah I hear ya. I was just looking at the images on carpartsmanual, and they certainly look the same. They list 11220-B8000 Anchor P/N 2533 literally has "11220-B8000" molded into the side of the rubber. Edited December 10, 2020 by mainer311 3 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 11220-B2000 for both. 11220-B8000 is '75 and up L20B... that said they should all work as the fame didn't change. The L20B it taller by 3/4". I put an L20B in my 521 and it bolted to the 521 stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 If you look at the part numbers and what supersedes what the 11220-b2000 is eventually superseded by the 11220-b8000.. Mainer311 while it looks a little different I think your right that the anchor 2533 would be a suitable replacement..... I couldn't connect the dots 4 years ago... I wonder if the info was there and I missed it.... oh well.... DP buy a set and let everyone know.... 1 Quote Link to comment

And the nut just stops threading after 1-2 turns and it has to go further down. Getting one off was a huge bitch and I had to put it in a vice to spin the nut off.

My info usually says superseded, it doesn't, but it does say former part number so it may be different but not in any way that would stop it from working... like being made by a different supplier. Myself I would try a pair and see. Like I said this is for the L20B '75 and up. Maybe thinner to lower the taller engine slightly??? 1 Quote Link to comment
d.p Posted December 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 (edited) They got 1 in stock. or are these the same?

wayno Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 The Datsun 521 1600 motor mount is this short square thing, the auto parts stores always wanted to sell me the 620 mounts which were taller, I made it work one time, after I did the drivers side I put the mount onto the 521 engine mount bracket, then I put one of the bolts thru the back hole in the frame mount plate I think, then I lifted the engine up a little and twisted the shit out of that mount to get the other mount bolt into the frame mount hole, I tightened everything up and lived with it for a while. As I recall that mount didn't last very long before it separated from plate holding it onto the frame. I then dug thru my used stuff and found something that would work, maybe I changed to later model 620 engine mount brackets, I don't remember as it has been years since I have dealt with a 521 chassis/frame. 2 Quote Link to comment

Have a NOS one but decided to just use one of his instead. Had to drill a small hole for the tach wires but happy with it overall. And you can see those brake lines I want to redo cause they look like shit IMHO. So, how did you finally get this installed? You get split the boot or get the column out of the box? 1 1 Quote Link to comment

This is like deja vu wayno.... This is the rabbit hole I went down with these mounts.... some are close but not 100% the same.... DP just be aware, even the current idea may be wrong.... 1 Quote Link to comment

Remove steering wheel Remove turn signal sleeve/bracket Remove 2 nuts holding column to dash Put a bag over the end of the column and tape off any open holes (or just drain all the oil from the box like I did like an idiot) Remove 3 bolts holding steering box to frame Disconnect pitman arm from tie rod and cross shaft Lift box out over the firewall and pull the entire column out through the engine bay. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I figure for $10 its worth a shot while everything is apart. Ill order the 1 they have in stock and compare it to the stock ones. Worst case I got the metric tap and die set (4AM shipping from Amazon which just blows my mind ordered at 6PM at my doorstep when I wake up) as well so I can still go that route if need be. 1 Quote Link to comment

DanielC Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 The 521 and 620 motor mounts may share the same part number now, but 521 body parts are imperial, not metric. If you buy a superseded part number "521" motor mount, the nut that threads on the molded in stud on the top of the mount probably is a metric nut, and trying to use the OEM 521 imperial nut will not fit.

Question about this mid/half plate that I can't seem to find anywhere on the schematics, is it supposed to be half piece? I assume this will need to go back on the 5speed? 1 Quote Link to comment
