If you're going to have a muffler shop do it why not them look at it and use their database to find one. If you're going to do it yourself, then trying the no muffler twin stack should be easy. If the dimensions are correct. Looks like what you have is clamped on, not welded. So trying some things should be easy.

toolman on Hybridz says that they'll be at SEMA Las Vegas in two weeks. Thought he had an account on CZCC but there are several toolmans listed here. They show what looks like a scrapped/stripped 240Z on a road in the desert. Facing the wrong way if it's meant to be in the States. On a road with odd yellow and white center striping. Combined with that Youtube short above with the cringey rap music, the whole enterprise seems strange. If anybody trys to buy a part from them don't forget about the tariffs. 57% now, could be 155% soon. If anybody is really interested it might be worthwhile to browse other car forums. They have an odd assortment of models shown. Here's one - https://www.carbody.com/product/classic-car/ford-parts/bronco-19661977-parts/ HybridZA COMPLETE EARLY MODEL 240Z BODY may be available soonA Chinese Metal Fabrication Company is planning to unveil a Brand New complete Early Model 240Z body at the 2025 SEMA SHOW in Las Vegas on Nov 4-7. They are looking for Distributors in North America.

Weak chatbot? Where are the emojis?

How many/much replacement parts before it becomes not-a-Z? Is it weight or number or volume or area? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_Theseus And, how should the new thing be described? As a restored Z or a replica Z or just a Z, caveat emptor? Somebody needs to "Get A Quote". At least it's made of steel, apparently.

That is true, but it could have been converted from auto. I'm just throwing out bread crumbs. Something is drawing too much current. Find the thing.

Actually, Amazon added a W.

Put a meter from the fuse exit to ground in continuity/resistance mode and see when the circuit goes open. Wiggle that nest of wires around. If the fuse is blowing it must be because that wire to the switch and lights is shorting to ground. Could be at the switch ( a bad switch) or after it. Or crawl under the car and test the pins on the switch to see if they're shorting to ground when you put it in reverse. Check the wiring diagram to see if any of the things after the switch are shorting to gorund. You didn't say auto or manual.

I think it depends on the weatherstrip. I have a vague memory of metal clips in the Kia Sportage weatherstrip. No adhesive was needed. Really though, just put it on and if it's loose put some glue on it. Handling time 10 - 20 minutes, full cure 24 hours for the Windo-Weld (Amazon can't spell). Sometimes marketing converts a problem in to a supposed benefit. They don't actually say that "super fast" is a good thing. Work super fast and you shouldn't have any problems. Forgot to say, cure time probably depends on relative humidity. It's a moisture cure. I remember using a moisture cure construction adhesive on a hot dry day in summer and it took forever to set up. Full Cure Time 24 hr Handling Time 10 min - 20 min https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/d/v000074326/

p.s. 2 - check the reverse light sockets to see if they're melted and shorting to ground. I had one do that. Not reverse but a tail light socket. They get crusty and resistive and produce heat.

Did the problem show up immediately after the new fuse box? More detail might help. The wiring diagram doesn't seem to show any connection between the reverse lamp circuit and the brake or gauge lights. They do all have a fuse though. The fuse box seems like the common element. Also, the FSM shows a different wiring scheme for automatic compared to manual. Body Electrical chapter. Accessory Relay and Inhibitor Switch. p.s. do the reverse lights work? They're on a separate fuse right? Can't find an illustration of the fuse box.

Did you see where this thread ended up? Once the thread's purpose is served why not use it to have a conversation? Nothing wrong with that.
