Or the driver didn't realize how far the nose stuck out beyond his field of vision.

Do you have this type of shift rod? Check out Carl Beck's site (http://www.zhome.com/) for a good discussion on the differences in the two transmissions. Find the Index of Technical Articles on the left side menu, then Swapping The Transmissions in a 240Z article on the right side.

That's awesome. Sounds like a room of angry hornets to me.

Call me a crazy person, but unless you really want the authentic seal to keep things, well, authentic, I'd suggest going another route. I really don't like the rather poor "seal" this type of shape makes with the fender. If you really want to prevent water from going "over the wall" so to speak, I'd suggest something like a door weatherstrip like those found here: http://www.mcmaster.com/#rubber-bulb-seals/=13zgp4c You can buy lots and extend it as far as you think it needs to go. If you install it with the "grip" just barely started on the pinch weld, then apply the fender, it will push down as far as it needs to, to make a perfect consistent seal along the fender length, as that gap is not consistent. One could even add a small bead of sealant alone the top of the seal to really stem the tide. Ok, enough nautical references.... If I can find the specific one I used, I'll post it. Edit: Here it is. 1120A232 bought 10ft. I secretly hoped that the Kia door weatherstrip would work. It won't, bulb on the side rather than on top. Then I could say I have it on the doors, hatch AND fenders. hmmm perhaps I shouldn't add fodder to the "Crazy" thing... Oh, if anyone needs a few of the original clips for their "authentic" seal, let me know....

Three guesses who has some old stock couplers. Hockey pucks are also the exact correct width and diameter. Just need holes the right size to seat the metal tubes. I'll work on this when I get home. Dang this is a wide country....

Old factory stock. http://www.nissanpartsdeal.com/parts/nissan-coupling-steer~48073-78500.html http://www.carpartsmanual.com/datsun/Z-1969-1978/steering/steering-column/28
