"Crossmembers are very different so are not interchangeable.   Datsun 1000 has a leaf spring running inside of it   You will have to excuse all the aluminum angle bolted to my 1000 crossmember, but here are 1000 and 1200 crossmembers side by side.   ."

"Track stays as is.   The 10mm plate takes up free space where the drum brakes were doing their thing.   All the suspension bits bolt as they were and hubs stay the same.   I would need to check disc thickness vs drum thickness to see if there is anything..."

"I have often wondered what would be involved in a complete steering assembly from a roadster into a 1000.   Wheelbase is same to the mm and from memory track width is within 10mm.   Would be a good starting point for stiffer front everything.   "
