Mhmmm I'm excited.



Today happens to be my birthday (25), so I have spent most of the day working on Datsun stuff.



I decided to begin the camber plates, as I feel they will be the hardest, and scariest of everything involved.

With bolt in camber plates there is somewhat of a debate as to if you should mount the plates on top of, or underneath the strut tower.

Through my research, I decided that I wanted to mount these underneath.



So I took a bunch of measurements, made a template of the area to be removed, and got to cutting.... The pictures will better explain the process.

Right now, the passenger side is pretty much there, (Although mocked currently) but, I need to slot the mounting holes outward slightly to allow the gold block of the coilovers to clear the camber plate mounting bolt nuts. Other than that, I think it will work. Hopefully; fingers crossed.

And worst case scenario, I just buy weld ins, and skip the middle man. Initially, I didn't realize the steel was so thick up top. I'd definitely be comfortable welding. Time will tell what has to happen I suppose.



Well.....Time for birthday steaks. I love me some grilling.

More will surely follow.
