Bad idea to mount battery in back???
I am putting the battery in the pass. side tool box (Fabbing a box and using a battery made for a Volvo S80-vents through a hose). Those of you with long term Z ownership have probably noticed that if you aren't religious about rotating your tires the pass. side rear wears the fastest. The reason for the accellerated wear is that tire has the least weight on it(unless you carry a passenger), and tends to spin first. Putting the battery(30-40 lbs+ the box) right in front of the rear wheel will add to its traction. Will

240Z Windshield WASHER Switch Servicing.
Carl, I will see if I can round up one Monday evening(My wife has been off all week, and I have been comandeered for baby shower preparation since I didn't take her to the Emerald Coast for the week.) My wife goes back to work on Monday,and I just might be able to at least touch some old car parts then! If it weren't for the delivery from VB, and running out to check the wiper arms, I would have had a parts-less week! If I can put my hands on one, I will set up the video camera, and shoot some mpeg for a technical article. I'll PM you shortly. Will

240 TV show
I sure hope that some qualified mechanic checks out their "work* before they turn the key! I don't mind the Darwinian trial takeing them out-but someone else might get hurt-of course, it could be the reporter who wrote the article, and didin't check the facts. WIll

240Z Windshield WASHER Switch Servicing.
Carl, I have taken the thin apart, not nearly as difficult and getting it back together, but fortunately it didn't work before I took it apart either... I would try using contact cleaner in te switch before taking it apart. I actually did get mine working and properly reinstalled-it actually isn't that difficult.-souunds like a good technical article though! Will

If you get one, it won't be long after it is done you will have to have two-just ask 26thZ! You'll need two, so both of you can drive! Welcome to the Z community! Will

Not Armourall ???????
Original dashes and those that have been re-done by Dash Restoration feel somewhat pliable. They have some "give" to the surface-they are built up with scolpted foam! They crack as they dry out and become hard as they shrinkfrom drying out. Will

Poll: Should we prevent gallery downloads?
I don't know about the rest of you, but it just doesn't feel even close to the same with protection! If I am going to do it, I want all the feeling I can get! I don't see our form of protection as being effective-maybe we should try the patch!! Will ...Sorry, I just couldn't contain myself...maybe that's why we are expecting!

Picking HLS30 Windshield Wiper "Nits"

Nissan OEM Floor Pan. Unbelievable!
Think about how much damage would REQUIRE the cost of, and the work to install that piece. Most Zs worth restoring need frame rails, floors, seat mounts, or some combination of all three-not counting cosmetic repair. That piece is valuable, but probably not practical considering the cost including shipping, and the cost of having it installed-not a job for a guy with a welder and 4 cinder blocks-cutting out that much floor really takes away the strength of the car, not to mention a car that damaged would probably not have rockers either. Will P.S> unless you are going to mount seats in it for your livingroom, I am not sure your decoration could do it justice!

Poll: Should we prevent gallery downloads?
I agree that not having them ""right clickable" would slow most people down, and I like MikeWs idea, but unfortunately, each poster already has that power in making the choice to upload or not. People have tried locks before (ebooks, etc...) and found that they did not work. At this point in technology, no image is safe-if there was a way to ironclad a copyright for something in general circulation, there would be no counterfitting. Any picture you put on the web can be taken. If it is accessable, it can be captured and posted anywhere else. While I am not saying look at porn, if you check out the industry, the only way they have slowed down the unpaid spread of their images is through the use of paid hidden doorways, and passwords. Even so, an article I read somewhere said that an image is available only on the license holders site(s) for an average of 4 hours. Look to the numbers quoted by the music industry. Every attempt at general circulation insures theft and misuse. I am not going to stop posting pictures for fear some numbnut will steal my images and use them for some plot to rule the world. I post them with the expectation that I iwill find them somewhere else! I post the pictures for the members here, to share what I have done and to get feedback. If you want to keep control over the use of your pictures, limitting access to them is the only sure way I can see. Will Any attempt is better than no attempt.

"L" Jetronic Fuel Injection Connectors
Among the EFI goodies I have bought, several sets of the new "pushbutton" connector housings, and even the crimpable connectors that fit them(not a pigtail, but the actual connector for crimping to your own wire. firewall grommits, and more than I can think of, came from http://www.jimsperformance.com/carti.html . Jim is great to work with, he uses the stuff he sells, and knows that it works. His prices are very reasonable, and he does not mind sharing his knowledge. Will

Picking HLS30 Windshield Wiper "Nits"
Carl, More pictures, great! I don't know the story, but I just ordered a set of the wiper arm nuts from Charley Osborne, and He said the black nuts were still available, and were probably ss underneath, but he had not been able to get the ss finished ones for a while. All of the Zs I have had have fallen into your timeline in terms of what wiper hardware they came with. Tomohawk, Appliance epoxy paint or powder coat. Will

240Z automatic shifter plate, 86767-E7800
I need one-make that two, for a '72. I bought one off Ebay recently that was advertised as clean, and better than the picture. 3/4 of it is perfect, but the two bubbled burns(that could not be seen in the picture) on it sort of distroy the visual beauty. Will
