		Trying to source 280Z tail lamp assembly
		
		I really prefer the JDM tail lights over the North American ones. Just another example of how our government can take a good idea and muck it up...

		Resolved: Tail Lights Stuck On
		
		Glad that worked! Why can't the switch be threaded in some for the time being?

		Removing E-brake cable clip stuggles

		Car will not start
		
		Yes, bunny ears Like KeysZ said that means the valve rockers on are on the base circle of the cam and the valves are closed

		Remove plugs Breaker bar until lobes on #1 are up and timing mark should be between 5-10 degrees Post up a pic of where the rotor points at that time or pull the distributor and post a picture of the drive spindle under the distributor

		1971 HLS30-14938 "Lily" build
		
		Blocking panels and wet sanding to 600 grit I have a number of them ready for color. Most of them were pretty close to ready before I got pushed out of the shop by the Goon a while back. I may roll the chassis outside tomorrow and shoot some epoxy on it. We'll see

		You could also get a remote starter button and bump it from under the hood. No helper needed I avoid asking my wife for help in this area because she doesn't like doing it and sometimes lacks finesse...

		Another Z to see the roads again...
		
		I was looking over this today. I am pretty sure I epoxied the middle and spot welded the four outside spots. The same way the factory evidently did it

		Zinc platers
		
		I wasn't sure I could push them out. They seemed to be molded on to the rubber

		So I got the plating back I have the car back in the shop and the goons back outside. I hope to have color on it this fall before it gets too cold

		Dumb Question: Are Fuel Dampers adjustable?
		
		I believe the mechanical pump has that procedure. I don't know about the efi pump

		Oil pump
		
		It depends a lot on where you live. My current project was very rust free. And only required two small floor board patches. They are getting more rare though

		Broken idle screw tip
		
		I think your idea is good, unfortunately if someone cranked it down really hard it can damage the body

		240Z D hubcaps ... reproduction?
		
		I feel quite confident the repops are coming from Asia already

		280z Bumper Conversion: Who Kept 280z Lower Valence?
		
		I have the xenon air dam too. I'm not overly impressed either. With it on the car properly the flat surface underneath the grill is wavy. Not much to be done about that. I wish they would make them out of TPO like other bumper skins. I could cut it and plastic weld but nothing to be done with the urethane one

		Zinc platers
		
		Thanks Ferg I agree on the observations If I have another bulk batch, I'll have to try them That was one of my goals for this thread, to consolidate the names of good platers in one location with an easily searchable title

		Zinc platers
		
		I totally agree! I will probably try to replate some of that on my own and see what I get
