thanks for the feedback, Any suggestions in getting to the back of the switch and removing it? It seems like taking the tach out would get you close? Anyone have a good short tail hazard switch around?

Could be a body shop guy but he looks like a long time owner, he'ssmiling. The no color photos added to his mention of patina would be an added PITA in my opinion for selling. Everyone is going to ask for better pics.

The way my insurance policy is with Hagerty's if it catches on fire I'm breaking out the weenies and marshmallows and enjoy the bonfire. But my luck some dumbass would stop and put it out before a total loss.

If you're logged in is it easy to make the pictures bigger? I can only see the small ones unless I open them in a new tab. Facebook is clunky. Looks like a dash cap. Another seller that doesn't know what they're looking at?

Ditto.

And if you decide to pursue auxillary lighting, here is the factory wiring Easter Egg just waiting for that switch in the dash. Remember, if you go this route you will want to install relays and larger gauge wiring to actually power the lights.

Switch for fog lights

From the pics that’s in really nice shape if the rest of the car looks like that.

I was just preemptively trying to avoid a digression. It felt like we were making some progress in the discussion. I'm still curious about the test results that Carl Beck got. Could a supplier have replated cadmium plated hardware? We now know what Nissan specified but is it possible that there is actually cadmium-containing hardware out there? Doesn't look like they said avoid cadmium, they just specified a different finish. I assume that Nissan outsourced that type of work, that they didn't have a plating operation of their own.

I left mine blank, but I don't have driving lights. I did repurpose the slot for the manual throttle next to the choke for the antenna switch when I swapped out the stock radio back in '91 for a Sony cassette player that I've now replaced in 2017 with a RetroSound Bluetooth radio. Our son 3D printed the faceplate for the radio with the raised lettering and the surround of the radio face that I painted white so it has a more stock look.

@WJ4Fun When I did the LED conversion on all my lights I used the same flasher for both blinker and hazard lights and both work just fine. No idea why Nissan would have different part #'s for the flashers.

I wasn't taking sides on the cadmium versus zinc issue. I have no knowledge or expertise to bring to bear on that topic. 26th-Z said "but how does this all matter", which is what HS-30H was referring to with the Brute quote. I think one of the hallmarks of this group is believing that details matter. My comment was meant to commend that behaviour. And Zed, you're definitely one of the people who cares about detail in my view. I don't always enjoy the exchanges themselves, but I think we all benefit from the willingness to engage, and the level of knowledge that results. Sorry that I wasn't clear.

Here's a '76 for $50K. I've never seen black and white photos in a For Sale add before. https://www.facebook.com/share/1BGfX7jc26/

The hazard light switch is in that circuit, it could be confusing the issue.

Thanks guys, I will measure the old/cracked fan vs the new replacement one. I am actually facing a different issue on top of the cracked fan blades. After I removed/reinstalled the tranny and installed a new TC, I started hearing some hitting noises coming from the front of the car. I think my fan got too close to my HALL sensor mount and would occasionally hit it (especially when warmed up). I fab'ed 2 shims to move the clutch/fan assembly forward by 3 mm: And here is how close the fan is to my HALL sensor mount:

I found on my car, vin is about 14,000 early car, the car had a hazard switch with the short harness. The longer harness one I had messed everything up. I don't believe they are interchangeable

Powder also eats into your carparts that otherwise could be saved. co2 does not do that and i don't know overthere but overhere a co2 fire extinguisher has almost the same price..

Just curious what you have on your dash above the hazard switch? Was thinking of an indicator light for driving lights, but was curious what others have done? Did you leave it just stock blank or add something? Pictures would be nice,,,,, any advice is helpful Thanks

Well, a quick update...... Got the wiring checked out and used a decent meter to find that the wire to the hazard flasher was intact to the fuse box. Retested and found 12V on the Blue/white wire at the flasher unit. I have another hazard switch so was going to try that.......AS I was pulling and messing with the wires on the back of the hazard switch, I tried the hazards again, and it all worked....... hate that. Must be a bad connection or wire issue so I am assuming the switch is bad. But the switch I have has longer pigtails and different emblem on the toggle switch than the one in the car, so either need to rebuild the existing switch or get another one........ I guess I will replace my accessory relay too, since mine looks bad. Might as well replace the flasher unit for the hazards. I did see that there is different part numbers for the turn signal flasher and the hazard flasher...... Need to figure that one out. Getting closer to the answers, thanks for all that have responded

cgsheen was letting people know that the new Nissan fan he bought flexed and let the blades get pulled in to his radiator. That's a concern to be aware of. Maybe the replacment fans are more flexible than factory issued fans. I was responding to suggest that maybe it was his fan clutch that caused it, not the qualities of the fan. Could also be that his Koyo radiator did not flow as much air as the factory radiator and this caused a lower pressure inside the fan shroud. Just trying to save darom's radiator.

Maybe that would have been better off on another post. Totally threw off where to get an NOS or comparable fan. Difficult sometimes to understand what the post was about originally unless you begin at the beginning. I hope you understand what I’m trying to say. Thanks

That was for @cgsheen1 Maybe the fan speed was higher than design, from a stuck fan clutch, causing more blade flex in to the radiator.
