mforget Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Hi, i just tried to install my steering rod on my build using cxracing complete swap kit, seems like the rod hits the left side engine mount preventing me from bolting the steering rod upper coupler. I will have to modify the engine mount to make the rod clear. Just wanted to know if anyone else ran into this problem. Thanks in advance!

trackzpeed Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Mine was close but fit.... old Datsuns can “sag”...... you may have to shim the mounts. HTH Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkerbk Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Mine was close as well but fit... try bolting it all together loosely and then check fitment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Oben Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I had to notch the mount a small amount for the shaft to clear. HTH, Richard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walkerbk Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Looking back at mine it has worn a nice ring around the shaft. So I think I'm going to end up notching mine after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
