Blue, thanks for the input. I was coming to that conclusion too. The line weights are ok on A1 format prints, but if you drop it down to A3 the detail is lost. I want to get it so you can print it on A2 or A3 and maybe make a 4 piece drawing you can print on 4x A4's and tape them together to make a A2 drawing. Ill play with the line weights tomorrow. Chas

I've worked with folks at PaintScratch.com and they have just added 920 Safari Gold to their available products. It is listed as a 1971 Nissan 240Z color. FYI - the actual product formula is PPG 23576. Edit: I recommended they also list it for the '70 model. http://www.paintscratch.com/

speedometer cable holder tab. This is a tab located between the transmission and the block. There are two tabs on the right and left side that hold the speedometer cable in place.

Oil sending unit wire tab that mounts on the right front motor mount. Entire bracket has been plated then rubberized.

Don't forget the rectangular pads that isolate the tank from the car body, glue or tape them to the tank before raising it.

Time for another update: 1) While still waiting for the parts to return from the zinc-plating shop i ordered and got some fasteners and small OEM Bits from nissan for the Pedal box. nothing spectacular: 2) Also my Bodyshop guy constantly keeps sending my updates andi hope i can visit him once again next week. Hower his work looks very promising and his fabrikation skills are stunning: During work (Area below the battery tray): The finished, hand-crafted product. Absolutely great in my opinion! Today he started with the floorpans and rocker-panels: Current state of the car. Not much original Metal left. but the work is just brilliant! 3) While waiting for parts and work i decided to disassemble the Steering column. Before: Almost finished. If someone can tell me how the bearings are mounted into the housing and how i can remove them, this would be very helpful. Will get the housings sandblasted and powdercoated and don't think the bearings like to have sand and heat inside. also the service manual, haynes and other books only mention "replace bearings if worn" but not how to... Any advice i'm very thankful for Hope the zinc-plating parts will return early next week and another delivery goes to the powdercoating company

Here is a little update, still messing around with the layout a bit. moving things around to get a better fit with the wiring spaces. Ill add the colour key later. Blue can you point out what this would look like or a drawing with it complete and ture? Chris: Im looking at using adobe to switch off layers. This will enable you to switch off the A/T circuits etc. Make it easier to trace wiring in the circuits. For now its just finishing what I started. Steve: Draftsight is great software for home users. It has limitations in paper space. If you are using paperspace NanoCAD is beter. Chas ColorWiring240Z1971_Concept 19-feb-2015.pdf
