I thought I would post up the recent work carried out on the standard equipment Datsun 1000 idler arm.  The bushes in my part were completely  shot. (See pics). I am aware that the B110 item can be fitted to the b10 chassis with little fuss, however I was want to keep with original parts as much as possible.
 
So I set to task to find a nolathane type bush with the right dimensions to do the job. Long story short is that I found a bush off the shelf with the right taper and ID dimension (15.8mm / 5/8in).  These are originally to suit a Morris Minor 1000 upper-outer front arms.
 
In this case the original plastic bush that sits inside the original rubber bush can be discarded. The only mod needed is to fit a 5/8 ID washer 1.2 mm thick, to make up the different in the bush flange thickness. The original bush has a 1/4 inch flange, were as the nolathane bush has a 5mm thick flange. The extra washer is added to the compressed stack to press the new bushes home to the correct seated position.
