Hi all
Looking to upgrade my Spit,s suspension with GT6's.Just the one problem it's like looking for Rocking Horse Poo
and when you do find them the seller usually thinks you've won the lottery.Thourght I'd extend my search.
Anyone who can help will be a friend for life.
Cheers Dave(Biggles)

You will want to stay away from the rotoflex rubber u-joints. The rubber is on the week side and even the new old stock well they are 30 plus years old. Go with the later 1971 onward straight u-joint assemblies. I do believe the differentials are the same though. From my experience the rear hubs, arms, and mounting are all the same. You can slo get a nice limited slip unit for the diff too.

The unit is a quaiffe and for that application is pricey but not rediculous and you can find them online. You can also use some Datsun 240/260 Z parts with the GT6/Spit rear suspension. Look around on here and also online.
