I need a pair of 120y front struts to redo the front suspension in my 120y coupe and the ones in it now are very rangi and cant go back together.

I am low on funds right now so was wondering if someone might have some old ones lying round that they don't want or are willing to sell cheap?

My current wheels are a FA50 scooter, until this problem is fixed ill be scootering everywhere!

If anyone has any or knows of some please let me know.

Im even just after some new inserts!

I have the old drum ones from my 120y. No inserts though. If thats all you need you should get some new ones. Not only will it increase handling it also gives great feeling to opening a box of new parts. est cost $150. I had a fa50 many years ago.

repco, BNT, autolign, appco, partmaster etc.

Ask for replacement inserts for your model of car. Cheater 5 has a list of shorter inserts if you need to keep your springs captive if your car has been lowered.

he's a datsun fiend who doesn't post here any more.
he has a blog somewhere, and he posted a whole raft of shocks which can be used.
