Which hole? You could probably buy a small selection at your local hardware store for a few dollars. Try them out and you'll know.

There were 10 mm bolts in the holes but the thread was wrong and they only went in about 3/4 of a turn

I'm not trying to install a bumper I need to know what thread this 10 mm is. 1.0? 1.25?

Which bumper are you trying to install? 280 or 240 series?

1977 280z. Front bumper mounts. My car didn't come with a bumper and none of my bolts fits.

Had a Champion, worked a bit better than stock I think but found a much better solution with a 240Z KOYO radiator. Been using the KOYO with my intercooled, turbo-swapped, (early) 260Z with factory A/C, here in PHOENIX, Arizona (not name dropping, just emphasizing the HEAT factor...) for a few years. In my estimation it's much better than the Champion I had - or Mishimoto radiators I've seen in some Z's here in Phoenix...

I have a champion 3 row radiator. Its like 15 years old and stock fan clutch. Which auxiliary fan can help reduce the temp when the AC is engaged? Which type and brand?

Oh, and this came today. PTunerz thermostat housing. Had to bolt up a Canadian part in honor of my Canuck brothers…

I believe the success rate here is pretty good with the past history mentioned in earlier posts presented. What puzzles me is the cost of the relay. I’m sure there are folks here on the forum including myself have a factory one available since I converted to OER Carbs.

You need an auxiliary pusher fan or a larger radiator.

It climbs 3/4 but when turning the ac on during traffic.

I've had my 76 280Z for 25 years. Other than headers, it's basically stock. When I got the car, it came with 195 50R 15 tires. With those tires the car pretty much steered itself on the highway and was good on curves at higher speed. On the negative side, the tires seemed way too small in the wheel wells, the speedometer was off by 10% and trying to turn it into a parking space took way too much arm strength so early on I got a set of 14 inch Panasports and 195 70R14 Pirelli P6000's. I'm happy with this setup but find, sometimes in a sharp turn, I get a little sway. The 205 60R 15 setup is almost identical in height, diameter etc to the 195 70R 14. I see from this forum that a number of people use the 205 60R15's and was looking for your advice. I'm not racing or doing anything performance based but I do enjoy a lot of New England 45 mph country roads. Am I apt to see noticeable benefits to the slightly wider tire and reduced sidewall? I still have the 15 inch wheels the car came with so the investment would only be in a set of tires and, of course, I could always go back to the 14's. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thats not vapor lock. Different issue entirely Depends how high it climbs on whether its an issue or not. Lots of things can contribute to not being able to shed heat.

That's a lot of money in tools!

I wonder what this means -

It's unfortunate so many cool looking concept cars don't get built or the coolness gets lost in the transition to production line

5 days, that's pretty good

It wasn't meant to be a link, just an abbreviation. Something in the browser or forum software does that automatically, I think. ithink.com link.com thislinkwontwork.com

I still believe there is an issue with vapor lock as i turned the ac on and the temp started getting to 3/4 of the gauge.

He retuned the carbs, installed a msd coil and advanced the timing. Guy is 70 years old and works on 8 cyl camaros.

This (F 026 T00 064) was the one I ordered, I got impulsive and this was the first part number I came across from this post here from @SteveJ . I couldnt find any other posts on here with the other part number at the time. The 0 332 514 121 relay has extra pins, this is because the extra pins are for the california vehicles, at least according to Jbugs. I suspect that using that relay is just fine since the car doesnt need those pins. This is the description for bosch relay 0332 514 121 accordinng to Jbugs BTW @Zed Head That CZCC link doesnt work

That's what we did with boats, river racing. Put spray paint marks on the inside of the highway guardrails along the river. 13 hundred and 20 feet, run what you brung was like a Bible verse I'll never forget.

The car in the video reminded me of the old Can-Am days.☺️ It was run what ya brung with few rules.
