240Z Vintage Rubber Floor Mats AMCO
I wonder if those are ZX mats? They have a different shape for sure but if they work, they work. Look good!

Brake leak help
The newer wheel cylinders for a 240, the $30 ones, will require some tube bending. The inlet is in a different position. The ones that don't require the bending are about a $100. The $100 goes in from the side. The $30 threads into the top. Not too big of a deal but be ready if you get the cheaper one.

Starter over heating
Is the EFI power connector hooked up by the battery? Did you sand off the negative connection above the starter, fresh metal? Was it running before you did the replacements?

Are these like unicorns and hen's teeth? I'd like a better set too. Could @nix240z at 240zrubberparts make a few sets?

Ol' Blue... current status
That car got me through a lot of my problems for sure. I lucked up and bought the same car as Phillips when I got back into Datsun Zs. Can't leave Captain Obvious' s '77 out either. They both helped me a bunch. Oh yeah Fastwoman was a tremendous help too. ZedHead and everyone else on this forum. Thank you all!

Plenty of suckers out there and they're born every minute according to Barnum (supposedly). Saudis seem to be the number ones for these cars.

Combo and T/S wiring help 12/71
Here's something you find useful. My problem was fixed in this thread. Not sure if it's in here but you can google 240z combo switch repair. It's a Word download but very helpful. https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/48098-help-with-combo-switch-please/

Ol' Blue... current status
They don't sell shingles up there? I could ship you a few bundles. I was thinking that would be your grandsons car. But he'll get a 240 most likely after he's born. As Namerow says, it's iconic like a chalkboard of Einstein's.

I put one of those 2 foot rubber ones on mine. It has a wing nut that loosens so it lays horizontal for the car cover and we have crap radio stations here. Bluetooth, paired with my phone's I Heart Radio is all I use. There's a lot of info on using weed eater cord to fix the mast going up and down if the motor still works. 130" cord is what I remember.

Seafoam question
Which ever one I can lock up. The 280 I have to crawl through the hatch but it locks up tight. 240 I'd have to sleep in LOL. The rods need bending I think, from all I've read. Or I could bring my Lab-Pit mix. He'd open the doors though to get out and roll over to get his balls scratched. I may get a room for me and the dog. If so it'll be the rougher interior 280. He's not allowed in my Camry or the 240. So most likely the 280, long story short answer. Budweiser!!!

Seafoam question
Thanks for all the replies gentleman! I run 87 octane with 10% ethanol normally. So me thinking is if I get them out once every 3 or 4 months and put 5 gallons of 93 octane that should keep the fuel "alive". Definitely going to put some MMO in with the next oil change, I read some good stuff on that this morning. It's so dad gum hot down here driving them is torture right now. I guess I'm just mad and bumping my gums but I've driven the 240 3 times this year and a big 0 for the 280. Like girls and everything else I get bored pretty quick. This forum has kept me interested and involved in Zs longer than most hobbies I've run through. Maybe Mike could build a forum for females and their difficulties, vice versa too girls.

You can reuse the old ones if you can find all the pins. I think a 4 penny nail is what I pushed mine through with. One guy, can't remember who, said put panty hose over a vacuum nozzle and it'll catch them. I had to replace my 280s antenna a few years ago and was a scary pain in the but removing that panel. Bending it to get it out was nerve racking thinking it was about snap. Good luck. I hope your's is easier.

Seafoam question
Sad to say my Zs are are very rarely driven anymore. More important things keep popping up, as they will never stop. 8^( Should I run some Seafoam through every so often? Any advice/experiences would be a great help. Thank you. Cliff
