@siteunseen Thanks Cliff. I didn't see it in those search results. Part of the problem is figuring out what the OP called that chrome squeegee strip... On another note. I'm all legal now! :)

I'm going to start cleaning up some of the stuff I have. Use these pictures and retire. 😁 I've got a storage building full! eBay1970-1983 Datsun 240Z 260Z 280Z ZX Rebuilt N47 Cylinder E...Fill fit into 240Z 260Z 280Z ZX with L28 Block and ROUND port exhaust systems. Learn more for our site at California Datsun. Why buy from California Datsun, Inc. THIS IS AN EXCELLENT ADDITION TO A... Really bad seller. Its was a scam from the get go. He purposely put another camshaft in the box of the supposed aftermarket modified camshaft. And he had audacity to charge 2/3 of brand new price of the Trojan horse of a camshaft he made it look like. He even painted it black high temp paint on used original factory camshafts. They or he hope an unsuspecting individual installs it. Really shady. I got a refund but this is horrible experience Brian Crower BC0211 Stage-2 Cams 264° for Nissan KA24DE RWD S13 S14 240sx RWD (#405586686015) Buyer: m***m (48) US $400.00 Verified purchase Past 6 months Reply from: california-datsun. Left within past 6 months. Wow, what an extreme exaggeration. We didn't "charge" you anything. We listed a item for sale that YOU agreed to purchase and pay for. It was a set of cams we purchased as new and never opened. You claimed you were unhappy so we immediately refunded you. No need for the dramatic fake story. What was so horrible? Have a nice day.

Stumbled across this transmission mount for sale on eBay. $200 for a crossmember and broken mount. Wow. If I'd known that prices would be so high I might have held on to some of my parts collection. https://ebay.us/m/O5Lr3p

Here's a way to clean your old tank if you ever decide to. 🤣🤣😁

@jfa.series1 I need to be schooled AsWell!!

I don't know if you've seen this, hadn't read the whole thread, but you should see the little mark in or close by the notch in the sprocket.

Not sure what it means but I misspelled hoses above as hosea. Prophet of Doom. No offense intended to anyone. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosea

Get a couple of 90 degree picks, 1 large & 1 small. Round off the tips so you don't poke through the hose. First, work the small one around the lip of the hose to break it loose. Then, follow up with the larger one. After you break the adhesion, put some silicon grease on the larger pick and work it around again. Try the tongue-and-groove pliers to twist back and forth until it breaks free.

If the worst should happen and you damage the filler tube I have a used one in excellent condition that I will let go at a very resonable price.

Found a picture that I took in the "let's see if that would really work" phase. In this picture the "mounting plate" (thin piece of flat aluminum) wasn't trimmed such that it would fit the clamshell. That took a bit of further modification to the shape of that plate. But it did prove that the toggle switch would be actuated by the stock turn signal components. I do not have dimensions without disassembling it. I also think it required a bit of trim on the switch handle for the end of it to fit properly in the "plastic thingy" of the turn signal assembly. (plastic thingy - which happens to be on thingaverse as a 3d printable item...) I got this metal toggle at O'Reilly but they can be had everywhere. You can see that the stock switch is much more compact and a little searching might find a smaller toggle than this one - and possibly with less protrusive electrical connectors... I wanted something simple and common.

I didn't replace the turn signal - just the switch. And it can only be done relatively simply in the '74-'78. 240Z switches have too many contacts and functions intertwined with the overly complicated hazard switch to be replaced by a simple three position rocker switch. If I didn't have to take mine apart in the 100+ Arizona heat, I'd take a picture. I'll see if I can find the post that put me in that direction - it was not my brainchild.

Ha! That links back to a post I did almost 7 years ago about using pop rivets to secure the sqeegee rubber to the belt molding, similar to how I did the replacment fuzzy strips to the door panel. @Patcon Charles, If you need some info I can pull off a molding and get some pics of the pop rivets.
