I ordered one pin yesterday, hoping I can properly remove the other one . If I do mushroom it though , I will definitely be in contact. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Ok! That sounds great. From what I can tell the front and rear insulators On the 240s are identical. I think il do that and use the spacer. The driver side insulator is in good shape, so I would only be replacing the passenger side, but I want the same ride height. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Whelp, I removed the spindle pin from the lower control last night ( don't use an air chisel if you wish to reuse the spindle ) , and my strut fell to the ground! After further investigation, the Strut Insulator rubber is cracked clean in half. I have read forums, called auto parts stores, and searched the various online Z-car stores, with no finds for the rear. I am going to pull an Insulator from a part vehicle I have , but I don't have high hopes for its condition. Does anyone know of an aftermarket source for the Rear Strut Insulators ? Good news though, I finally got the Front Suspension is done! wheels mounted and all! (I`ll attach a photo of the destroyed spindle and the broken Strut insulator)

Pulled the heater core and it had a positive test! Now time to send my core off. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Yep! 200$ I think il go with the rebuilt one. And I may be able to provide an additional core from my 76 280z parts car. See if they will cut me a deal! Thank you very much though, I always forget about that site. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Starfox started following Heater temp valve leak
-
. Hey guys, I have replaced the heaterhose tubing that protrudes from the firewall, but that was not the cause of the leak. I am assuming this part ( part in photos) is a heater water temp sensor . Question is where can I find a new one?? I found a rust hole in the flood pan and am 99% sure this leak is the cause. The leak from this valve is a steady drip even while not running. Any help or advice is most welcome, as I am pretty much stuck atm. Thanks! Cody Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

BTw I talked to a guy with Napa Auto parts today, and I'm I think they have a couple of OEM radiators for around 365$ (not for me price wise) , but those of you who want that complete car. it is a Nissan radiator and the flanges match.. I really think they have a couple of gems !

Thank you guys! I am restoring my car paycheck to paycheck so every thing helps!
