The whole prize craze really started when banks started giving bad to non rates on savings. People started to invest in housing ( real estate ), art, classics etc.. anything with value increase over time -
In the past rubbers used to be softer, same with tires, these days they mix a lot of synthetic stuff in to use less naturel rubber €€. But the dis-advantage of naturel rubber is that it doesn't last that long and dries out quicker, but it's softer. With the Chinese scooters for my work they still use that old rubber in their tires also, but they are allready dried out in 1 year. With the mopeds with inner tubes to.. to old tires used to be soft, you could put them on with thand, without damaging the rim, these days i have to heat them up with an air gun to make em soft enough to put on without damage...

This is just because the hype and value to them, from my engineer/mechanic point of view, I would never give 32k for that thing lol. These people that bid, make a calculation what it's worth restored, and take the bet
It's HBM not HTM , yeah they have pretty good stuff, I believe most is made in Taiwan. I use a lot of their stuff in my workshop for many years now, not much problems, work fine. When they where still in their old building, i allready bought there. Their populairity has exploded now
Haha it's a cover, they put their own logo on it , free advertising I guess lol
Hi Mart, Matte finish i read somewhere is original the tailpanel,not clear coated. Yes this is 2k paint but not shiny. The rear deck lid i put clear coat yes.. These are my other classics, the Mustang just got new paint.. . The Kreidler 50cc is from 70 the Yamaha scooter from 1998, but these are getting classics slowly, and i wanted an original one, since i had that scooter when i was 16😄. Currently putting together a 65 zundapp 50cc to. This will be the last project so far..
Valve adjustment done to, last one was 2 years ago i think... Cilinder 123 all where to tight, 456 only the intake
I had to do something about the rear deck lid it was starting to get bad ( respray was in 2016 . The paint is still fine, the rust is starting in places out of sight. So far around the doors is still fine, it was only in the rear. And i think the tail light panels look close enough 😌
Thought so haha, in my edit i posted that ,thanks
280 nos belt is on. Seems fine to me... Removed the taillight panel to get that original look and treat surface rust beneath the rear panel... Fun thing is i found a photo of one in the edit: Shanghai museum that is glossy? 😂

the oem 240 belts are almost none to find anymore, i'll use the 280 one then, I bet it was more flexible when new haha, it became stiff, like old people
creative, i like it ! Would those few mm really matter ? I can put the oem 280 strap on, or the one pvc one, that snapped only after 2 years.
🙄
if i put this one, next to the used oem one from the 280z they are the same length and width
Does it really matter ? I can't seem to find 240 straps. I do have this one also, but the previous one snapped: Datsun 240Z 260Z 280Z Differential Arrestor Band Belt Rear 413 | eBay
So this one is going to be on. Original used one..
Good luck, I would have bought it, but i have to many projects on my head allready, oh well, maybe in the future when I have more space haha
