MH77280Z

Even the brackets fit nicely. Does someone has diagram of the wiring?

Now I think for once we all should appreciate the 2+2 for bringing a Clarion AM/FM technology together 🤣

Guys, need help with the wiper arms. Mine is a 77 280z and wiper arms i took off from that were #4 (#5 and #6 are zoomed). As you see they use some sort of clip that lock those pins when inserted. I cannot find replacement pin type wiper blades online. Now #1 are these i bought on ebay did not realize i need the pin type. But luckily I had picked up #2/#3 from a 240z. So these ebay ones fit nicely on them. I am sure the #4 is an OEM wiper arm as it says MADE IN JAPAN and most of my car has been stock which I have been restoring. So where to get these pin type blades? or should i shelf them and just use the ones i bought from ebay?

I recall it was from a 1976 280z 2+2. I was not sure whether 2+2 radio will fit 77 280z but still got it. His post is still there on craigslist. It was from this car https://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/pts/d/gardena-datsun-280z-22-part-out/7697141600.html

Will try approx. M5 dia sheet metal screws tomorrow. I remember they were simple screws into the body.

I bought this from a guy in CA pretty cheap $25. Is this the right 280z radio?

Which screws do we need for the louver hinges - top and bottom? anyone know the size? I think they were sheet metal screws but not sure of the size.

Guys, i am planning to throw away this Ken wood stereo tape. Probably will install a more latest model. Just want to make sure it is not factory cassette player? the way it was hooked up is definitely aftermarket but just wanted to check before i discard.

Ok let’s see what you receive.

Hopefully it is not this one. Was trying to find a pic of the part number and saw this 😄

Would never do that!!! Once you do that the door or hinge is permanently de-shaped. Never mess-up with the OEM stuff. I think i will just need to play with it a bit with loosen bolts and get to set it correctly. Will tackle down the line. At the moment I am trying to install the wiper motor!!!

Guys, just a quick update. So the left washer in the pic is McMaster and right one from MSC (link below). I installed the MSC as the inside diameter is a better match with the M6 bolts which you need there. McMaster has more options too but they are out of stock for many. https://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/06772388

I think I have found the problem. Have not verified yet... This is the driver side door with the seal in. As you can see the top part of the chrome window channel is aligning well with the Qtr panel but the botom end is further pushed inside ... this is also consistent with the main door blue painted part also being pushed inside. We took off the doors for painting the car. I think I have to loosen the bracket bolts to the door and pull this one out a bit. For the passenger side I might have to push it back in. Will give it a try later this week.

Founds these on the web and had to angle them with a grinder. I had two missing. Thought someone might need them so sharing: https://yheng-hardware.en.made-in-china.com/product/pwJtVaxLVKkr/China-Stainless-Steel-M6-M8-M10-DIN186-T-Head-Bolt-T-Bolt.html

Guys this is after I had installed the main door seal. I can probably live with it. But seems like the lower edge is aligned and not the top. How does your fitment looks? Can this be fixed?

Some regular washers might fit. My 77 has all 6 of them flat rusted and I dont have space to fit the regular ones. The McMaster ones work. These ones also fit a bit cheaper. Check your fit: https://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/06772388 I am receiving the McMaster tomorrow and will send a snap.

37 seems to point to the two you need on the inside to attach the headlight housing. Those dont need D washers.

Seems like they have these in stock: https://www.mcmaster.com/96025A221/ You need D washers here on 3 of the holes each side. 2 per side has those rubber bumpers. I am planning to just use all 5 D washers for now. Also flat side goes on the bottom as there is no space, that's the point for having the D washer here. I have few original ones but they are rusted. These new ones are great quality.

Hey guys, any good source to get few D washers for fenders? I ordered them through McMaster and it is back ordered like hell 18-19 weeks!!! meaning you never get them. Worst case I have to cut few myself (probably should have done it 2 weeks ago instead of waiting!!!).

Yes - this is on the to-do list at the end probably when i will also replace the windshield rubber seal - guess it will be easy when the dash will be out of the way.

Update ... finally hood, fenders and front body panels on. I have yet to install the main door seal which goes around the main doors. One quick question on these hood to fender bumpers ... I have the front round ones near the firewall/cowl area and they are great and dont let the hood vibrate. I can bring the hood down and slowly push it in to lock. But when I put these 4 fender bumpers I cannot do that anymore, I had to bang the hood down fairly hard to latch. I am not liking that, so far I had removed these 4 and feeling ok. Thoughts?

For the fenders that’s what I am going to do. 3M tape with silicon on the inside of the fender on pins. The barrel clips are too small for the fender emblems. The hatch emblem pins are good for barrel clips.

The diameter of the hatch emblems fit the barrel clips I have received. The two fender emblems i think are way too thick to even try to put the clips etc. Do they come in different sizes? or should i leave the clips off for the fender emblems?

This thread has the part numbers.

Messaged you. I can probably clean few of these.
