Great idea. I have been doing that for years. ZCCW member get a discount from our sponsor. I find the parts numbers, replacement number and go to the parts counter. Their system can verify the parts if you give them the numbers, but they don’t seem to be able to look up numbers for early cars.


72 body and block, everything else 71, Tokico springs, Illumina, R180 CLSD, 83 close ratio, 3.90 gears, Ztherapy SUs, BRE 15X7 Libre wheels and BRE front spoiler.

Carpartsmanual.com has the old datsun numbers. courteseynissan.com has them as well. If they can get it so can your dealership. You must play dumb though and let them think they're doing you a special favor. That comes easy for me, i wear a hockey helment when i go in.

Just had a thought since you ordered the new tank straps from Skillard. These straps should have a rubber insulator between the strap and the tank. You can get them from ZCar depot

Or you can use floor molding vinyl cut to the right width and length for less than $5...

Whatever you use, make sure it's thin, 1/32 or so. Too thick and it will take up length and make it hard to start that J-bolt nut.
