Thanks Friend, By chance and I mean by chance do you possibly have a set of 240Z wiper arms? My 280 Restomod by all means looks like a 240Z and that’s one of the Holy Grail Items I’ve been looking for. I have a couple arms here I’ve bought over time but just can’t find a matching set. Would be glad to give you the p/n’s I have that are NOS and extremely ashamed of what I paid the gentleman. Stay in touch and I’m hoping you’re enjoying retirement. Definitely done a lot for the Z community.

Thanks friend

John

That being said, Do you know a supplier where the factory clamps can be purchased?

Are these what you are looking for?

I just ordered a set, they should be here early next week. I hope I didn't just waste MORE $$!!. LOL

Those look to me to be the contemporary hose clamps that are available from Nissan. They are NOT, I repeat NOT, the same as what came on a 240/260/280 from the factory.

I figured. As long as they are decent clamps (actually perform the job they are intended to) and have the stated yellow zinc finish, they will be just what I am looking for. Not entering any concours shows with my car, but want to retain the original flavor where possible. The other two-wire clamps I have found are plated silver, not the greatest quality and (in my opinion) stand out like a sore thumb.

If they're going on a 240 they should be clear.

I could swear the originals on my car (12/70) showed signs of yellow? I could be mistaken
