A little progress today. I received my custom plug wires, heat shield, manifold stud kit, and new valve cover bolts from Datsun Spirit today. I also installed my new 3 row aluminum radiator.
I also hooked up my battery for the first time in over a year. No blown fuses or fires, so thats a good sign. No dash lights though...hmmm.
With the Swiss franc shooting up in value, haven't these foreign parts just gotten alot cheaper? It would be neat to scan in the dimensions of those new rails into CAD for the future when 3d metal printers become affordable.
I used one of your images and added it to my photos of my re-build of the turn signal switch. Datsun 240Z Turn Signal Switch Rebuild. That little 'mushroom' at the end if the spring is supposed to be a small ball bearing! In Southern California our turn signal switches last much longer - using blinkers on So Cal freeways is a sign of weakness!
