Re the cornr indicators... the last owner had removed them and filled the holes with fibreglass.... So that's not a good indication of the model.

Hey guys, Browsing around ebay looking for 520/521 bits and came across this (no, not literally) http://www.ebay.com.au/cln/salvo_valladares/DATSUN-521/105750593019 What the f&*k are you guys buying with your Datsun bits? ;-)

Hi, I've been sifting through the spares I got with my car and listed some of the items on ebay: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/131599378821 I'll be adding stuff as I get around to it. (mods: feel free to move this..... I couldn't find a subforum for external ads) Cheers Tim

Hey all, Has anyone tried fitting 3 seat belts across the bench of a 520? My truck has the mount points for 2 lap/sash belts but I'd like also to put a lap/sash belt in the centre. Guessing it would require an extra steel member welded in just under the rear window so I could add the extra mounting point. Reason being is that I'd like to be able to take a couple of my kids on cruises and ideally have them as safe as possible (given the lack of any active safety features on the truck :) ) Thanks! Tim

Hey there, I'm a bit new to this party and apologies if this has been discussed before, but I'm wondering what would be the best tuning options to give my little truck a bit more power and better sound. I see that some folk are fitting MGB manifolds and sidedraft Webers to their engines but I'm wondering whether it's worth it over the stock Nikki.... Any suggestions? Also, what is the suggested exhaust size for this engine? Would 2" be about right? Cheers, Tim

Thanks Charlie.... I might end up doing that..

Hi guys, Does anyone know where I could get hold of a matched ignition switch & door locks? I've found them separately but wondering if anyone has/sells them matched... Also (and OT) - tie rod boots. My truck needs them but they are expensive. Anyone know if 510 boots will fit? Someone over here is making them out of polyurethane. And finally - I have a spare 520 factory wheel, and also a 320 chrome horn button in the bunch of spares I got with my truck. Are they much sought after? Cheers Tim

Hey all, First post here..... I bought a '68 520 truck today. This one had been restored mechanically but needs some work for completion. Here are some photos (google photo links- hopefully they work) http://goo.gl/photos/2a8gx7TQsw1z7Tc3A http://goo.gl/photos/bVyygzrtuH7avC7T9 I'm planning on tidying her up and putting on a timber tray. Anyway you'll be seeing more of me on here! Cheers, Tim
