Mr_Reverse Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 They bolt to the underside of the control arms with the stud facing down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjotrainbrain Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 That's a cool build you've got going! What are your plans for the rear tray? Just gonna do a flat deck, or something more elaborate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Reverse Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Is that a Mazda cab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tack Posted March 12, 2020 Author Share Posted March 12, 2020 Hello, yes this is a 1991 Mazda b2600 cab. It was a 2wd and it fit like a glove on the pathfinder. I couldn't believe it. The bed I'm planning a flat bed, most of it will be taken up by a toolbox that fits all the way across the back.. I'm almost finished, rebuilding front end right now. Speaking of which, there's a dust seal, #40227 in the image and the parts people cant find it. These seals still available? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstGenFreak Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 (edited) Never seen one on the few Aussie cars I have pulled apart, I think as long as you have your hub seal (40232) in place you should be okay. You could run a bead of rtv between the knuckle/stub axle and dust shield if you are concerned. Anyone else seen this?

FirstGenFreak Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 PS, that thing looks like it will be a weapon. Love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Reverse Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I have replaced that seal before. I believe I got it from my local Nissan dealer, but that to have been at least 10 years ago, so it is possible that it has been discontinued. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tack Posted March 14, 2020 Author Share Posted March 14, 2020 Thanks all I found the seal, found out nissan part numbers are slightly off, instead of the 40227 number it ended up being 40228-31G00 playing around with the bed some today, think i'll try this instead of a flat bed 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tack Posted March 18, 2020 Author Share Posted March 18, 2020 Hey sure thing, not at home right now. I'll get some more pics up tonight.. my picture posting size was decreased after I posted my first picture. I probably broke a rule on size, anyway I'm now limited to just 20k in size on the photos.

mjotrainbrain Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Photos on this forum are a little different than what you're probably used to, you have to host them externally. There's a few different how-to's and informational threads, here's one: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
