Interior Pictures?

Does any one have a picture of a door panel and the piece to the rear of it, (the piece that is clipped to the dog leg?) Ideally I would like to dee the two together without a seat in the car, but I'll take what I can get. I'm going to repaint the panels 2 tone and I need to figure out where the boundaries should be for each color. Also, any new ideas for the chrome strips in the door panels? One of the posts I read said to use a 3/8" adhesive strip from an auto parts store. I was only able to locate 1/4 ", which is not wide enough. Thanks.

Wesco Roadster seatbelt install in 71 240z 1 2

I am installing the Roadster seatbelts from Wesco into my 1971 240z. I had the MSA shoulder belts in and did not like them at all. My question is about he upper mount to the retractor end. I'd like to know what people do there. Spacers? Short bracket to get it facing in the right direction? Simply bolting it into the hole at the top of the pillar doesn't seem to be right. Thanks all. mark

My current seat situation: drivers seat is okay but a bit dirty. I've tried to clean it with some specified seat-cleaning products but there is always some dirt in the grooves, which makes it look bad. Passenger seat is busted and needs new covers. Is there any superduper product i can use to get rid of the dirt?

Hello RE: Choke Cable Lever Mounting Bracket I was wondering if anyone has installed something like this before on there 240Z and found it helpful vs mounting the lever to the console. I was one of the folks that had to mount the choke lever to the center console. I found this on ebay. Click link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/270919960660?_trksid=p5197.c0.m619 Thanks Larry

Just picked one up today. Happy to find an original part for the car. The metal part of the wheel is silver. Not a repaint either. This is clearly originally silver. From all I can gather, this should be black. I'm nto beyond a repaint, but was just wondering if anyone had come across this before. The rest of the wheel is in amazing shape. Thanks in advance.

Vinyl Seat Replacement Kits

As you're probably aware, most of the companies that sell the re-upholstery kits (MSA, Classic Datsun, Z Car Specialties, etc.) are selling their vinyl kits for $215 - $250 (for both driver and passenger seats). In looking for a good deal, I ran across a company selling a kit for $125.00. They say the pleating is "Dialectrically" or heat sealed. They also claim that they're using original patterns, and have been manufacturing these products since 1981. Couple of questions: 1) Has anyone heard of Pony Express, or purchased their product(s)? 2) Was the pleating on early Z-car OEM seats ever "dialectrically sealed"? Pony Express isn't very sophisticated -- no website, no p…

I've been doing 1 or 2 track days a month for the past year in my 1971 240Z. Starting next month I plan to start bracket racing at our local track so in order to pass the tech inspection I need a cage, racing seats, harnesses etc. The car started as non-running barn find last April. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?42156-New-240Z-build&highlight=1971 Since then I've upgraded the suspension and added a Rebello L30 and an oil accumulator system. I stripped the interior and rolled the car into the cage builder 2 weeks ago. Lots of good progress so far. To my admittedly untrained eye, the bends look great and the bars are tucked up against the…
