Larry,
If you use a standard Datsun bushing, you should be able to get that
from any parts store either the same or next day. Again, I'm not sure
what you might need for an adapter. You might check with Paul A. for
an adapter. I'm sure he knows what's in the Rivergate setup. You
might even reach him today.
What events are next weekend?
