Thanks for the reply peterc!

What build date is your 72 240Z? What is the original color? Have you chaged it durring the restoration?

Mine is 11/71, Metallic blue, not restored (yet, some day I know to do it!):D

Hey Bambi

Mine was built in 02/72 and the original paint was that pukey fluorescent yellow. It was repainted white at the time of delivery (white was not a Datsun option that year) by the original owner.

I'm painting it metallic blue (base/clear), or will be, in the spring. I've pulled all the glass, doors, hood, hatch, etc. to be sure and get everything done right :).

Where abouts is the hazard switch supposed to be mounted? For the life of me I can't see one in my zed. :)

On the dash near the cigarette lighter. See pictures in previous posts for a pre 1973 switch. 1973 switches are of a push/pull type located in the same area.

Aussie 240z's didn't have hazard switches installed, as fas as i know.

None of mine have had hazard switches.

Anyone know what's involved in installing them? I know from around 76-77 here in AUs we got a Hazard switch.

It's pretty useful to have especially when wiring up an alarm system so that the indicators blink when u lock her.

I've always wanted a Hazard Switch :classic: . BTW mines a 72 also.
