G'day all, has anyone tried the Datsun 1200 front spring eye bushes yet, the parts reference section on here gives the  number as 55045-H1000 which is the same part number as the 1200 but i can't find any posts on here where people have actually fitted them and i'd like to be sure before i purchase a set, thanks Pedro.

I installed those very bushes into my 1000 sedan.
 
I did find them to be quite soft as they were generic no name rubbers from ebay.
I have since changed them over to nolathane rubbers.
 
1200 rubbers went right in. (I did get confused about which ones to buy when getting 1200 ones) and so on the shackle end i got a set which was a little long for my needs, so I just cut them down to length beore install.

Thanks mate that's what i needed to know , I contacted Nolathane and they couldn't give me any info on whether they would fit or not and the Datto 1000 specs didn't give sizes.

I hear you with cars and working taking alot of time.
 
My brother bought himself a toyota chinook. (campervan hilux 1980) to replace his hilux 1981.
And over the past 2-3 weeks we have swapped every part from one car to the other.
 
not all of it was bolt in, exhaust, some brackets, wiring on all his electric bits,  fuel pump, fans, ignition etc.
even made my own 2 bolt exhaust flanges as i decided i wanted to give it a go.
  
 
plus my ute did a gearbox last week (1984 datsun 1200) so put another one in that after work on Tuesday.
 
think we'll be finished on sat, and have 2 working cars again.. light at the end of the tunnel.
