Fuel tank repair
So can someone recommend a product for sealing this small but small leak without soldering?? My tank is fine! it has no rust inside! Just these people that pull the tank down and struck the small metal line which is now bleeding when the tank is full.

Fuel tank repair
I had my car painted several months ago. During the Restoration procedure, the shop that painted the car removed the gas tank and hoses from the car and i believe that accidentally damaged on of the fuel metal lines that form part of the tank and could be the 5mm - 3/16 or the 8 mm - 5/16 one. One of these metal lines leaks a Little bit of gas when the gas tank is full. Should i remove the tank, flush it and start soldering the broken line or would any cold solder mix product fix this permanently? or should i just simply try to find a new tank??

Aftermarket Kenwood radio not turning on! Where to check first?
These guys charged me US$4,750.00 plus US$800 on materials (PPG White 904 paint and additives) to fully restored the car! I purchased new floors and lower panels.

Aftermarket Kenwood radio not turning on! Where to check first?
inner radio fuse was burnt. Change the fuse and smoke started going out of the radio. Had to take the radio to an electronics shop for repair. Labour was US$38.00. This was negligence of the paint shop. Everything else in order.

Aftermarket Kenwood radio not turning on! Where to check first?
My aftermarket radio was working before i took my 72 240z to the paint shop and now it does not turn on at all. I already checked the manual antenna connection at the trunk of the car and the antenna banana plug is connected to the female socket. Dont see no broken wire from the positive terminal of the battery to the radio. The red wire is connected. Where else do i check? I really dont want to pull the heater panel off to see if something was disconnected or not. THe only thing that was done to the car is a swap of the ingnition switch and that only consisted on a plug and play female 5 pin socket. The car is running and all its lights are working. Where else do i check before pulling the heater panel apart?

Radio antenna grommet replacement
Which needed part?? I thought i only had to purchase the manual antenna Siteunseen recommends at Z car depot? I also noticed that my car radio is not turning on. All fuses seem okay and it was working perfectly when i deliver the car to the paint shop. If the antenna cable was left disconnected could this be the problem? Does the antenna cable acts as a ground that closes the circuit? THis is what i saw on the electric diagram!

Wiper motor grommet installation! Do i slice it or not??
I need to install a new firewall grommet for the wiper motor connection to the engine harness on my '72. The only thing I've read is of someone cutting the rubber and sliding it over the cable & then gluing the back side & putting it in the firewall. There's got to be a better way because that's not right. I think i could remove the wires from the plastic Shell and then pass them through the small hole of the grommet, install the rubber grommet and then place them back on the plastic Shell. anyone??? or is everynone cutting the grommet passing the wires and gluing back with crazy glue??

Front bumper guards do not fit on Aftermarket Bumper
Should i leave it this way?? Does it look fine? I had already invested US$100 on replating the bumper guards so i could fasten them to this new bumper! What a pitty!!

Front bumper guards do not fit on Aftermarket Bumper
The paint shop that restored and paint my car cannot fit the front bumper guards in the new front bumper i bought! Really weird. I have attached pictures of the bumper without the guards. I bought this bumper on EBay and was shipped from Canada. Shop argues there is some slight difference between the original front bumper and this one and that there is not enough clearance between the bumper guards and the front Hood. if the Hood is opened it touches the bumper guards. How do we solve this issue? I thought the purpose of the Project was to have the car as it came out from the Factory in 1972. This is a US model!! Am i missing some parts here?

Radio antenna grommet replacement
I purchase an aftermarket antenna on EBay to be used with an Aftermarket kenwood radio. Question is: If once the antenna is wired just by turning on the radio the antenna goes up? What if i only want to listen to a CD or USB device, will i still have the antenna up? Is there any way of wiring the antenna so that it only goes up if i decide to hear a radio station?

3.4 to 4 psi adjustable electric fuel pump
is it adjustable?? Meaning i can lower the pressure from 4 to 3.5 psi? Looks desirable! Just want a pump that does not require an additional regulator! I have the one shown Airtex 8012S which advertises as 5 to 9 psi! and do not use a regulator! However when stuck on heavy traffic the car starts to stumble, erratic idle and then bad acceleration, so i have to clean the spark plugs each time i get home as they get black!
