Draglink. Im unaware of any replacments for the 1000 draglinks, so it is a case of finding the best 2nd hand one you can or having your one rebuilt if you can find someone who does that.
There are differences between RHD and LHD, as one end is pivot-only and the other is free to move like a balljoint.
1200 drag links are longer than 1000 ones.
(I had considered buying a 1200 part and having Maddat bend it up as if im trying to gain room like some people with engine swaps, but never ended up asking as I found one on ebay before getting around to it).
The idea was to add bends to shorten the distance between the pivots on the ends.
(Im not sure if they even do this or if it is ok to do, but they sell bent draglinks for extra clearance when people fit larger engines into their datsuns)
Idler arm. The idler arm is interchangable with 1200 ones.
But I believe you will need to make sure it is an early 1200 part (1970-74), I think they mount differently on the late versions.
The 1200 idler arm in the pic is 555 brand Part number CSX1135.
Balljoints & Tie-Rod-Ends.
Balljoints & Tie-Rod-Ends are rare, but avaliable if you look hard enough on ebay, yahoo & forums.
Upper and Lower Control-Arm-bushes. Upper and Lower Control-Arm-bushes have a 1200 and transit bush swap, but im unsure about which year transit to use.

Front Shocks.Front shocks are avaliable through pedders, just keep your lower mounting pin or the entire shock and have pedders press it into the new one for you.
Leaf spring pads. Leaf spring pads are NLA, but they have been remade before.
