I never had any pushback and I have friends getting work done there now.

So I received my chrome work today. Most of it looks pretty good. I have a few things I'll ask about. Its expensive work! I have no idea how I ended up with four drivers and two passenger?? Two ash trays 2 sets of visor brackets & three cig lighter rings Four buttons for hatch locks and 2 gas doors I need some help ASAP! Is this a Datsun part?? I'm thinking no...

Just for completeness, the Nissan part number is 48750-E7705.

You dont see these everyday in Australia; perhaps that is why it was imported from the UK (of all places!) Classic Throttle Shop1978 Datsun 260ZTime-capsule 260Z: low mileage, UK-delivered, tastefully upgraded, impeccably maintained, and beautifully documented throughout...

Might want to ask Cody if he had a few parts he wanted to slide in on the Old man!😂😂

I can't recall anything like that on my ride, so no idea.

Opening the bleeder when the brakes are stuck will tell you if the problem is pressure in the caliper or something else. If there's pressure in the caliper you can work your way back to the the MC fitting by fitting. Or work your way down, from the MC. First you need to know if it's hydraulic pressure or just mechanical sticking.

If you can do this when the brakes are stuck it will tell you if the rod from the booster to the MC is too long, causing the return port in the MC to be blocked. You'll have to do it while things are still warm though. Patcon is implying that the air expands as it gets warm creating pressure in the system. They make a tool for setting the booster rod length. It's a fairly common problem, especially with rebuilt boosters. If you stare at the parts long enough you can figure out other ways to get it right.

I believe that’s what he was referring to.

I would want an early car kit. No split in the rear carpet and different under the seats. Id didn't see that on their site...

The 7-piece kit, black 80/20 loop. When I spoke to them they said that was better feel than “OEM” and better wearing that cut pile. It does have good feel.

Yarb, I suspect you are correct. That said, having lost a lot of last year with Koni front strut issues, I'm buying my way out of this distraction, asap. Get the whole for $60 or part for $32, I chose the former, and the order is already in the system.

Thanks for you responses. For the cost of a replacement, I've elected to order a complete replacement. At my age I want to get her back on the road and not be distracted about the possibility of it failing again. Someday soon my Z will be my son's Z and he's not very mechanically inclined. Thanks, George
