We're excited to introduce you to our Evolved Crossmember for the Datsun 510!
Our good friend, Steve Coleman, is a longtime 510 guy with a wealth of knowledge and massive parts collection. He actually stores one of his 510's here at T3 to help with parts development and was able to help us acquire every year 510 crossmember along with modified units for KA/SR swaps! This allowed us to 3D scan each version and chose the best features for our Evolved Crossmember.
Truly the Crossmember to rule them all!
We also had the goal of adding double sheer mounting points for the Front Lower Control Arms. The factory Crossmember uses a stud to mount the control arms and leaves them "just kinda hanging". It's an oddball design compared to most cars and something that we've never liked much for strength and rigidity reasons.
