  1. The best paint remover I have found is Formic acid, just submerge the part in the acid over night and the paint just falls off. And then rinsed with water to neutralize. It is quite strong so use it outside or with the correct respirator. Here in Canada it is easy to buy as it is used by bee keeping to treat a nasty mite infection.
  2. +1 on the 3 in 1 oil, and add that I have always used the electronic motor grade.
  3. Hi SunStar, welcome. Yes I did end up installing it on my car.

  5. 100% agree with Jim. I did install a relay and used LED bulbs for the fog lights.

  7. While at a car show this past weekend, had a very interesting conversation with a gentleman. His parents opened a Datsun dealership in Moose Jaw, Sask. The year was 1966, he said that the family home was on the same property and he grew up working in the shop. He remembers the day the Datsun Training trailers pulled into the yard and all of the mechanics spent a week going through the courses. He gave me three of these plastic bags, he says he has lots more Datsun stuff . I am working on getting a chance to go shopping through his collection.
  8. That’s what I have, they are Kmart ones NIB I got a few years ago.
  9. I always thought it was when they changed to the retractable belts that have the larger buckle assembly.
  10. I will check tomorrow and let you know.
  11. The non-emission style has only has two ports, one for brake booster and one for the PCV. The euro one has a third port. Also you can see a tapped hole in the right hand ear for the throttle linkage, which I think is for mounting the kick down pot, which the early ones do not have. Small differences I know.
  12. By the way, all of the ones I made are based on the early non-emission style not the euro style.
  13. I have done a few, some with the brake vacuum connection on the end and some with it on the top. Once you weld up the holes, to make it look good you have to go with the polished look and if you fill material is not close to the same alloy as the tube you will always see them as they have a different shine.

    Sorry, you are right, that was a poor choice of words.
