Hey Will, Another Zed supplier is; Nisszed parts 20 Kerrs Road St Andrews Victoria, 3761 Phone, 03 9710 1091 Fax, 03 9710 1887 Contact name, Lawrie Nelson. No web site or email address in the advert. Don't know anything about 'em, had nothing to do with 'em, just found them in a magazine. Hope it helps. Rick.

Uuuhhhh, Mike, OUR driver side mirror is what they want mate. Rick. :devious: :devious:

Some very good points there Loren, However, we can't lay claim to either the spelling or the terminology as we inherited them from the Poms. As for something being well stacked, I assure you mate, we certainly are NOT refering to a couple of smokey chimneys. Rick. :devious: :devious: :devious:

Nah, it's O.K. Will, I keep a large jar of it in the cupboard for whenever I need a "Fix". Rick. :devious: :devious:

This is probably off topic, but there was a report on the T.V. News tonight about the M.G. car company closing down. All major cities, mainly Sydney are holding auctions to sell off the latest models wich are expected to go for half price. Why buy one when parts will be hard to get and probably cost the world not to mention trade in value. Sorry state of affairs. Rick.

There's a mob called NISSZED SPARES, Datsun Z Car Specialist, at 20 Kerrs Rd., St. Andrews, Vic. 3761 (Wherever that is). Bloke's name is Lawrie Nelson. Ph. No. 03 9710 1019 Fax 03 9710 1887 No web page or email in the ad I found in last October's Australian Classic Car Magazine. Good luck, Rick.

Here in the Land Down Under, we can purchase "Personalized" plates in whatever lettering and colour scheme you want, provided the lettering hasn't been already issued. I don't know how true it is but I've heard that plates can be ordered to duplicate the original plate first issued to the vehicle. Doesn't your DMV offer a similar service ???. Rick.

As Alfadog said, I've also heard of the use of Coca Cola rubbed on with alfoil. Could be a myth but what have you got to lose ??????????????? You could always try Brasso and cardboard. Rick. :devious: :devious:

Well, I'll be *&+^%*$#@ Rick. :surprised :surprised :surprised

"Panel Beaters" and "Bondo Pushers" ???????????? Hope you've got a sense of humour Loren, Apart from the fact that Henry Ford's original blueprints must have been copied in a mirror image causing the steering wheel and other right hand side components to be placed on the LEFT hand side; It's obvious that the American motor industry is leading the world in anti polution because, for decades, their cars haven't used petrol, hence the term "GAS" pedal. American radio aerials must be modelled after an ant's feelers as they are termed "ANTenna". That part of the American car body which covers the engine compartment must have been designed by Al Capone as it is termed a "HOOD". Likewise, the rear end must have been named by an elephant trainer who, for reasons unknown to us, called it a "TRUNK". One of the designers must have previously made guitars, hence the mudguard being called a "FENDER". O.K. I'm wearing my steel helmet and flack jacket and fearlessly await retaliation. :nervous: :nervous: Rick. :devious: :devious:

Hey Will, I had a pm from zsaint, (Loren), asking the same question. I can't help personally but, as I told Loren, I get all my bits and pieces from a supplier in Sydney; www.allzparts.com.au If you don't add the "au" you'll get a Yank supplier. The boss's name is Warren. Nice bloke, helpful, certainly knows Zeds, a bit slow in responding at times but I've found him reliable and prices reasonable. I got the L.h. mirror from him so I presume he would have the R.h. ones. Rick.

C'Mon now Tomo, you'r not fair dinkum are you ???? You're pulling my leg aren't you ???????? If you pull the other leg it'll whistle "DIXIE" in E#m. Rick. :devious: :devious:

Marmite tastes NOTHING like Vegemite. Vegemite contains; Yeast Extract, Salt, Mineral Salt(508), Malt Extract( From Barley), Natural Colour, (150d)(Contains Preservative 220), Vegetable Extract< Niacin, Thiamine, Riboflavin, Folate. It's suitable for vegetarians. Look it up on www.vegemite.com.au. I have serious doubts that it would be any use on a foggy windscreen though. Rick. :devious: :devious:

Now, now, Lachlan, Remember mate, we've been eating Vegemite since childhood. Our "buddies" from up north grew up with their taste buds being tempted with things like peanut butter and jelly sangas. Oooohhh, YUCK. Might be best to just send him the label off a jar first. Rick. :devious: :devious:

Ed's right mate, it's preferable to deal with someone who understands Zeds. Rick.

Well, By the time I read this the day's practically over so, I hope your birthday was all you could have wished it to be and that you enjoy many more in the future. Rick.

Jason, Every Yank I've met has absolutely HATED the taste of Vegemite. I know Tanny hates it. (Haven't heard from him for some time). I reckon we exported it to America to get back at you for all the third class soapies we have on T.V. e.g. The Young and the Restless and The Bold and The Beautiful. (Can't get a sensible word out of "She Who Must Be Obeyed" while they're on. Rick. :devious: :devious:

G'Day Greg, Do you live in America, Australia, England, France, .............. Mate, fill in your profile info so we know where you are. There might be a member living in the next street who can put you on the right track. Rick.

AAAhhhhhh, Yes, You Yanks have a lot to thank us Aussies for, particularly Brasso and Vegemite. Rick. :devious: :devious:

YAY !!!!!!!!!!, GO FOR IT YOU BLOKES .......... This is gettin' InTeReStInG. Rick. :devious: :devious: :devious:

Tomohawk, Brasso on glass ???????? Hmmm, don't know about that mate. I for one would be surprised if it works. I've had a lot of experience in cleaning BRASS with Brasso. Believe it or not, we used cardboard and Brasso to clean and polish the brass buckles on the web belt. (This was when I was in the Army). Some Brasso was poured onto the cardboard then the brass was placed onto the cardboard and rub like hell. A bit messy but it worked. Maybe the old cardboard trick will work on glass, ...... but I'd be surprised if it did. Let me know huh ??????? Rick. :devious: :devious:

G'Day there Reethi, Welcome to theclub. There's nothing else I can add to the suggestions already made except to just take one thing at a time, starting with the battery leads and the battery posts. You're right about one thing mate, you have to start somewhere. If you're a Sgt. Shultz and "KNOW NUTHING" about cars, just remember that EVERYONE, (including even the most knowledgable people on this site), at some time in the past, picked up a spanner for the first time. Good luck to you and let us know how you get on. Rick.

Good Grief !!!!, I reckon the gearbox would be stuck in first gear for the next 20 kms or so. Rick. :devious: :devious: :devious:

BRASSO !!!!!!! The Australian Army would have used enough of the stuff over the years to float a battleship. :tapemouth :tapemouth These days the hat badges etc. are plastic. No blackened, flattened finger tips for todays soldiers. I use it on my ute's bull bar and all the chromework on the Zed. If I have any old, really dirty brass to clean, I soak it in lime juice overnight before applying the Brasso. Hey, Carl, (Not OUR CARL, I mean da udder one), I can't remember where, (short term memory loss ?), but I'm sure I've seen bars of Bon Ami glass cleaner recently. I'll try to remember to keep an eye out for it. Rick. :devious: :devious:

Hey Bill, Try telling the cops you heard what sounded like shots being fired. Rick. :devious: :devious:
