Robin has finally come north to sit in the garage alongside the chasis in Massachusetts.

That clutch plate has a number that matches this link. Is this a new item that will work? Most folks on here mention having them resurfaced

That clutch disk seems to be for a different model. I'm cross referencing to a 510 Datsun. It's only 200mm, and the Patrol is 275mm in diameter.

Interesting.

This is a resurfaced plate that came out of the white patrol.

Making some progress.

I was pleasantly surprised to see how clean the axle was inside. Right now my plan is to replace seals, sandblast, and paint. I don’t think it will need any major work.

I also have a disc brake conversion that a member on here made for me.

Nice that you're finally getting a chance to work on it. There was a discussion on the disc brake mod. Depending on which one you have (there were a couple of different ones) you might want to review it here: https://60patrol.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6419

More progress made. I was able to pull the front axle back out and tear it down.
