Marchal 652 Driving Lamps
Another classic aux. lamp is the Cibie' 35 series - they were available with either driving light or fog light lens. The good ones had chrome metal backs, I seem to recall cheaper models with black plastic backs.

Extinguisher location?
- Looking for some nice 15x7 wheels for my 1972 240z, any recommendations?
Make sure you can find suitable 15" tires before getting wheels. The selection of 15" tires is small while there are many choices in 16". Konig Rewinds in 16X7 are popular, have the zero offset perfect for Z's. Keep in mind the OE tires had a 24.75" diameter - try to find a tire with similar diameter to avoid speedometer error.- 72 240z Parts Car Complete - SC $400)
Dang - if it was in the Dallas area, I'd be all over it. So many treasures that could have a second life!- Extinguisher location?
Cliff - I have one with the same mount. I have it on the forward side of the right side shock tower, mounted upright. Its an easy reach from the driver's seat, is not in the way when putting stuff in the rear deck area. Jim- Stock front speaker panel restoration
Just so you have correct info, Nissan did not offer speakers in this location - what you have were added by a previous owner. With that said, the panels the speakers are mounted to are generally referred to as "kick panels". A matte black repaint would be pretty accurate.- OK to get the S30 wet?
I think I just got wet reading this!- New Z owner. 2 q's about paint?
You can probably mask the handles, suggest you try to block them in the up/lifted position to get max. access to the recess in that area. The SS strip along the door top is the squeegee strip, it can be popped up and off the door.- New Z owner. 2 q's about paint?
While you have the inside hatch panel off, why not remove the dovetails and the rest of the hatch hardware - dovetail down stoppers, latch striker. license plate light screws. This is what those parts can look like if completely refurbished with fresh plating. Even if you don't replate, you can still get everything thoroughly cleaned of dirt, grease, paint spray before you put it all back together. The same goes for the door latches and strikers.- New Z owner. 2 q's about paint?
On your question 1: Remove the hatch latch (external bolts/screws). To get to the hatch lock mechanism, remove the inside panel. The plastic rivets have a core that must be pushed thru before the rivet can be lifted out - expect to lose some of the cores, replacement rivets are available. The hatch lock is secured in place with a rectangular "C" clip of spring metal. The door locks are similarly held in place with spring clips. Remove the inner door panel and with the window up you might be able to access the locks for removal. If not, you're looking at removal of the window frames and windows to get to the handles and locks. Some folks can pull windows without removal of the frames, I'm not that talented. As to front and rear glass, GENTLY remove stainless trim from the gaskets with a flat blade - putty knife, plastic body trim tool, ...etc. It bends VERY easily, be careful! If the gaskets are aged and brittle its best to cut them out. Do not use any kind of blade against the edge of the hatch glass to lever it out of the gasket. If you're going this far, consider removing the quarter glass altho that requires removal of interior panels to get to the retaining screws.- New vinyl question
