White post has a good reputation. How is the cost?

Yeah, those bearings weren't long for this world...

Good tips. I would have pulled it too tight probably

Thanks guys! Any advise on the windlace or the gluing process?

I may need a pair too because I am looking at doing a similar door panel finish

So I need some advise. I need to do the vinyl roof trim and the A pillar trim in the car. If I had been thinking, I would have done this while it was on the rotisserie, but I wasn't! I did the headliner this way. I don't know why I didn't do the rest then... So which order do the pieces go in? Sides first, then windshield header? Any pictures of how the ends are folded or detailed? What is the best way to go about it? Foam onto the vinyl first or foam on the car first? Glue applied to the vinyl or onto the car? Spray glue or yellow contact cement? I have been procrastinating on this but it's time to get it done. Thanks for any help C

Did you ever figure this out?

This will be unfortunate news if windshields are the new NLA! That will make installation that much more stressful

Most states have laws against possession of stolen goods. Sounds like they didn't want to mess with him.

Yes, I love the pantera. Always wanted one. I'm not sure the footspace isn't a bigger problem and the offset pedals.

I had a college professor that had a Europa. It's an absolutely tiny and low car! I'm quite confident I wouldn't fit. Although that's probably true of most Lotuses 😁

I found two different forums with similar pictures. Some interesting thoughts in these threads https://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?2384311-Need-Advice-on-Damaged-Piston https://motoredbikes.com/threads/detonation.42539/ Detonations seems to appears as finer pock marks almost bubbly looking

The marks don't really look like a foreign object in the cylinder. You would expect them to be evenly distributed and they're not. I think Zed might be right. Too much timing advance?

I just downloaded these. They aught to be a great help. Thanks for investing the time! C

I may have a door for you. PM me C

I would keep all 4. They have different ID's. Im hopeful at some point, someone will start making these using the original washers as a core @nix240z

Those crenallated washers still have value to some people

The blue chromate is very dark blue in the tank. It does brighten the raw zinc plating and give it a slight bluish hue. I find blue chromate much easier to do than the yellow zinc. The yellow seems to be much more time sensitive. Like to the second...

That's a grungy booster!!! I think I would rebuild that... I had the same velour seats in my first 240z. The were in the car when I bought it in about 86'. I believe they were original to the car

I couldn't get any of the pictures to load. Anyone else?

I wasn't following. You were saying the parts are all zinc plated but all the yellow zinc was chromated with Hexavalent Chromium

What parts would have received this treatment?

I've got some magnetic rubber vise pads that might work good for the needles.

I believe, buying premade lines is the way to go in your case. It is probably possible to do with everything still in the tunnel. I would definitely start like that. You might find removing the exhaust or driveshaft makes it easier. Beware of breaking bolts on the exhaust. It will just make more work that is not easy to fix. Bear in mind, stainless lines can be difficult to seal because they are harder. I suspect steel lines will easily last another 50 years. Longer than most on this forum, including me, will be around...

I would just replace the whole line at some point in the future
