kYB strut inserts

[Graeme macpherson]

Hi I am fitting new KYB inserts to my z and have found the large retaining nut which secures insert to inside of strut does not screw in all the way as it tightens so far against insert and still shows some threads is this the norm thanks

Yes thats normal. It confirms the insert is firmly held.

Great thanks for reply .

Just make sure they are tight and the strut is not moving as if they a slightly loose they can start knocking when going down the road.

Does anyone know where I can buy front brake calliper bolts in uk for my 260z

Unless originality is a concern, you should be able to replace them with any 10.9 grade calipers bolts of the right size / pitch / length.

Given that I have the S12W calipers of a Toyota Hilux on the front of mine with original Datsun bolts, I suggest you can get the Hilux bolts onto ours. I assume an LN130 1989-1993 Hilux is slightly easier to find parts for than a 50 year old Datsun.

Something like this: https://www.cms4x4.com.au/products/...t-bolt-suitable-for-landcruiser-hilux-4runner

Sumitomo made the brake components which were used by different car brands hence why we can put the Hilux calipers onto our cars.

Cheers will look into that today so hard finding what is compatible.

I think they're m12 fine. Flywheel bolts work
