zed1 Posted August 31, 2023 Report Share Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) The 1966 Datsun 520 was the last of the trucks with the hand crank feature. The 1969 Nissan Patrol was the last Datsun/Nissan imported to the US with this feature. Keith Edited August 31, 2023 by zed1 Quote Link to comment
320 Newb Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 Can anyone confirm fitment on the Moss Motors crank nut? Does it fit the Nissan J engines and 320 hand cranks? Quote Link to comment

I could be wrong though I suspect the Datsun bolt is SAE. Quote Link to comment

I purchased my crank dog from Kip Motors and the crank dog was certainly British Standard. I did not spec and measure every other BMC B Series part, but deferred to Kip (owner) for his guidance on machining to fit the Datsun/Nissan J13 engine.
