There is only one lash pad available for the U20.  Supposedly, a common
Mercedes lash pad (180-053-19-52) will work in the stock U20 retainer but I
haven't tried it.  These lash pads are thicker than the U20 lash pads and
can be ground down to the required thickness by a machine shop.  It is
possible although not cheap and not a "bolt in" mod to convert to L series
retainers.  L series lash pads are available in a large range of
thicknesses.  Finally, you could have a shop make lash pads for you.  Such a
procedure is touched on in the Bob Sharp Competition Prep manual available
on the Datsun.org site.

Hi all, I saw a thread a while ago about valve lash pads, for the U20
and was wondering what thickness' were available, and where?
Thanks,
