Payco Posted June 11, 2021 Author Share Posted June 11, 2021 (edited) Progress has been halted for two weeks as the header I was sold and had confirmed would fit a RHD 510 did not fit at all. The steering box is in the same position on a LHD so makes no difference. The header does not clear the steering box idler and after a heated debate the seller - California Datsun gave me £100 towards the £200 custom fabrication welding bill. They will fit a rack and pinion set up but nothing else. Anyway photos of the issue and after a mock up yesterday we are getting the welds finished today so we can start all the work next week.
