It may fit, and it might work, sort of, but it could be easily be the wrong
pressure plate. Here's why - both of the roadsters and the 510s use a
clutch and pressure plate combo that's 200 mm, or roughly 8 inches. However
there were/are several different pressure plates with different clamping
pressures. The part you were sold may cross reference to the old part
number but it may not be what you need.

The OE stock 510 part had the lowest pressure, the OE roadster clutch was
somewhat higher and required greater pedal effort. The 20111 (the last bit
of the part number) OE replacement had the highest pressure of the Datsun
PPs, and wasn't the most enjoyable to use in stop and go traffic. AFAIK,
these are long no longer available, but check with Riley at Lynchburg
Nissan, Dean or Les to see what is available or an acceptable substitute.

HTH,
Ron
