Hi! Additional info, our cars naturally have power source for the fog lights in the wiring harness. Kats

The way my insurance policy is with Hagerty's if it catches on fire I'm breaking out the weenies and marshmallows and enjoy the bonfire. But my luck some dumbass would stop and put it out before a total loss.

Sounds like the argument for god. "Yes Darwin, Einstein et al, you may have shown how everything that is may have come from nothing, but you've not proved that Nissan didn't ship any cars with cad plate bolts in the 70s"

It seems to me a lot of weight is being put on what Carl Beck reported of what someone at a materials lab 35 years ago told him. What if the guys in the materials lab were busy, stuck Carl's bolts in the drawer and fobbed him off when he came back? Why would anyone believe such an anecdote in the face of a document from Nissan at the time saying what they used? Just as OEMs today thoroughly check suppliers work against the spec, I'd be very surprised if Nissan in the 70s accepted cad plating when they'd specified zinc.

Hahaha!! I'm hoping it won't come to that! ☺️

I wasn't taking sides on the cadmium versus zinc issue. I have no knowledge or expertise to bring to bear on that topic. 26th-Z said "but how does this all matter", which is what HS-30H was referring to with the Brute quote. I think one of the hallmarks of this group is believing that details matter. My comment was meant to commend that behaviour. And Zed, you're definitely one of the people who cares about detail in my view. I don't always enjoy the exchanges themselves, but I think we all benefit from the willingness to engage, and the level of knowledge that results. Sorry that I wasn't clear.

cgsheen was letting people know that the new Nissan fan he bought flexed and let the blades get pulled in to his radiator. That's a concern to be aware of. Maybe the replacment fans are more flexible than factory issued fans. I was responding to suggest that maybe it was his fan clutch that caused it, not the qualities of the fan. Could also be that his Koyo radiator did not flow as much air as the factory radiator and this caused a lower pressure inside the fan shroud. Just trying to save darom's radiator.
