  1. Apparently up to HLS30-46000 (L24) the rear engine mounting assembly was 11330-E4100 (up to 7/73) shown above on right for ALL transmissions, and from HLS30-46001 (L26) it was 11310-N3000 (from 8/73) shown above on left for manual only.
  2. Carl, I've been pretty happy with the new stock springs and KYB GR-2's plus some poly bushings. The ride seems firm enough for general highway driving where roads aren't perfect. I don't think I'd like anything much stiffer than that. I assume that a firm ride was normal for a Z, though I never had a ride in a brand new one. Frankly I can't imagine what the ride in some of these cars with racing springs and Tokico Illuminas is like. It must be bone jarring.

    I thought BRE built their own exhaust system.
  4. Based on the Datsun dealer parts catalog the original exhaust had an oval "pre-muffler" near the center of the car with a round "muffler with tip" in the rear. Apparently they also used a sealer in the joints that was injected with a syringe.
  5. You never want to overtighten gaskets. If the gasket is squishing out the sides, it's way too tight.
  6. What's that toggle switch above the flasher switch for?
  7. What material is this?
  8. I know the seat covers, I bought mine from Les.
  9. I think the key is to leave at least one rubber interface in any of the four suspension points. That is, don't use 100% poly in your suspension.
  10. That's cause they didn't use a piston shrinker.
  11. Carpeted dashcover collects dust and gives you allergies.
  12. If there is any bodywork, I'd recommend stripping it down.
  13. SHHHHHHH, that's the secret weapon of the 240Z.
  14. Hey, don't be a spoiler. :laugh: He wants to weld something.
  15. Nu uh.

    I am planning to have the webbing replaced in my seat belts. Has anyone else had this done? I found a company online that is willing to do this for $75 for each belt (i.e., $150 for both seats). I have non-retractable belts, but you '72 Z owners should also consider upgrading your inertia reel to a modern dual-sensing type.
  17. Enter that in the spreadsheet?
  18. You'll be sorry if you sell it.
  19. Will you two quit with the creepy winks and get a room. :paranoid:
  20. Nope, didn't say part of, I said "from". It looks like someone took the registry and put it into a spreadsheet.
  21. http://www.autocolorlibrary.com/
  22. Have you drilled some stop holes on either end of the crack?
  23. Yeah, pics or it didn't happen!!
