I have had her a ling time since Feb. of 76, the original owner, she turns 39 this month.

14 AWG is quite adequate. A 10 foot run of 14 AWG to the headlights would have a voltage drop of about 0.25VDC. Going up to 10 AWG gives you a drop of 0.100VDC.

While Yves is going crazy on the body i'm doing my homework as well. But let's see... Most of the work i'm doing now is research. I need to replace all the worn, weak, corroded, sheared of and damaged bolts, nuts and screws on my car so i tried to figure out what bolts there are. was a bit hard to figure out until my friend and fellow Datsun Z Owner Nils sent me a few very useful links. here we go: Check these Links if you want more information. there's even a bigger and better list with every single bolt pictured and measured!! http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php/topic/98751-suspension-bolts-inventory Nils also pointed out to be sure tu use at least 10.9 grade bolts for all the subframe stuff for safety reasons! If you're looking for the bolts in the rest of your car (engine etc), you can get them here: http://mmsacc-stainless.com/html/Datsun.htm or here: https://zcardepot.com/ They have various kit including this "master kit" which includes all the bolts minus the subframe (i didn't find any kits for these, but with above information it isn't too hard to create your own kit). I think the master kit looks good: While working on this i also started to rework some random stuff: Cleaned uo the inside of the Steering rack which the powdercoater messed up slightly. Will take it to the office tomorrow where i have a powerful airgun to blow ot the debris inside: Collected a few parts from the front subframe / And starting to figure out how it all comes together Started to clean some random stuff, like the inner shifter boot. Before: After (washed it in warm water with soap, and then added some Petrolium-lube (Vaseline) to keep the ruber material smooth. Put chassis number one back on Jacks: And sterted to dig through the piles of parts i have to collect a box full of pieces which will go out to sandblasting and yellow-zinc plating when i've got together enough pieces. Still have some work to do now but i'll keep you updated as soon as the big news come

When this thread popped up again I remembered that just after my 1st post I came across a Clifford equal length 6-2 (Jack use to call them 6=8) so I had it ceramic coated and use it on my L28 and love it.
