If you go with a Grant hub, which I have, get the short adaptor or the wheel
will be sit too close to your chest (unless you are fond of the old MG TC
driving position. The stock adaptor is about 4 incles deep, the special
adaptor mounter is only an ince or two deep.
Grant has them available when last I looked, and they are not Datsun specific.
