@Terrapin Z probably has some good quality used ones.

Vintage Datsun and Nissan parts has the bolt kit (39628-E4100) for $95. But there doesn't seem to be any way to add it to my cart, so I've sent them an email. All the other sites sell the bolt only ranging from 21 to 33 dollars each. I've sent emails out I would like to replace nuts bolts and lock washers Maybe I'll have some luck on Monday

The FSM describes how to adjust the horn sound and its actually very simple (screw on the back with a locking nut). Not saying they'll sound like a Jag, but altering they way they sound is possible. I believe each horn is set to a different tone.

There is a point where the adjusters will cease to tighten. If they're working properly, they shouldn't be the cause of a sticky drum removal. There are other factors that could be the cause. IRL the drum shoe friction material isnt that thick and they don't see that much use so there really isn't that much re-adjustment needed over time. I daily drive my 260 and have changed shoes once in 14 years. After you have them set properly you won't notice much if any park brake handle lock position change.

@Zed Head Sorry, I misunderstood about doing that with the drum on. If everything is working correctly, the handle should lock higher than usual and after a few pulls should gradually lower, is that correct?

Have a nice day, people!

My comment was about the headlight power supply switch. This thread is about the turn signal part of it. Your best path forward is to address the comments of the very first post. It's business, not personal. Ba da beep... Good luck.

Yes, I mentioned it in a previous post. Spin the wheel by hand, pull the handle. See what happens. Sometimes you just have to take things apart again. I remember replacing a transmission on the same day that I had just finished installing it. It had a leak that only happened while in use. Good luck.

Here's the start. Notable that there's no way for too much voltage unless there's a problem with the voltage regulator. I think he meant current. The best way to handle disparaging comments is with postitive comments. Take the high road.

That is because you do not completely disassemble your switches before restoration. You also have not unlocked the hidden performance upgrade in your turn signal switches due to certain modifications.

It was nice to see truthful information about this issue from another experienced person to cut through the character assassination that passes for knowledge from some of the members of this page.

@Zed Head Is there a test I could do if I jack the car up and pull the e-brake a few times or would that not tell me anything?

Yes it's 19 on the drawing.

You won't know until you use it.

19? https://www.carpartsmanual.com/datsun/Z-1969-1978/axle/rear-axle-drive-shaft/19 https://www.google.com/search?q=39628-E4100

Have you tested or tried to rebuild the horns?

Absolutely! Will take me a little while, but the quality and sound were great on the test run!

I put a set of Jaguar horns on my '83 Turbo back in the day. Great sound and always surprised people that is wasn't the typical Japanese "meep!" I wish I could remember what model I lifted those from.

Yep, it's right 'chere:

@Mcbtuba Any chance you can post a photo of your install? I like the Retrosound stuff they've been coming out with lately. Might be nice to install one myself.

I believe these bolts are 10mm x 125 threads and 22.23mm long. I'd like to replace those as the 54 year old rusted almost stripped ones that I removed I'd rather not put back on. Does anybody know where I can find these special nuts, bolts & lock washers? Most likely they are hardened as well. Thank you in advance for any tips or directions that may come my way.
