26th-Z

HLS30U-00027 has the brackets. Pictures attached. I'll see 26th later this morning and take pictures. Sorry for the rusty photographs. 26th is looking much better.

My vote for "only a mother could love" thread. Wow, it's fugly.

Yes, shorter side outboard.

Grab your fan blade and wiggle it front to back. If there is any movement at all, the water pump is bad and needs to be replaced.

Getting back to the glove box discussion: I finally took a picture of the glove box from HLS30-00026. It's a universal type glovebox and 26th is a 'U' not a 'UV' but just the same for glove boxes.

Door hinge differences: early type on the right and later type (most common) on the left. Rebuild kits for both types are available.

I'll bet the metal clamp from the later style inspection lid would work. I'll do some measurements when my replacement arrives.

Found it! Resurrected Classics. Thanks Steve.

Thanks, thought I would try here first.

Bump to this. I'm getting desperate. Anyone with an old body shell have one of these?

Old thread but the same thing. I'm looking for one also.

Cool template file. Thanks for doing that.

I'm in town if anyone wants me to look at it. I'ld rather not.

What are those? Lifesavers? You nut! Thanks for the pictures. I'm going to write to a guy and see if I can have them made.

I tried McMaster-Carr for countersunk finishing washers. Found white ones, but not clear. Hmmm...

Yes, early S30 brake backing plate. Notice that the rotor is vented also. Let me know if you want to sell anything.

Oh! I missed that.

The brackets that hold the radio in place?

So I bought the lug wrench Terrapin Z posted. It arrived; very nice. Then Terrapin sent me a link to these NISSAN MOTOR pliers with that magic 27 die number. How cool. So I started looking for more NISSAN tools and I rediscovered the background on my tool roll. There is still one of these available on Ebay for a hefty sum but check out this link; https://www.superscoutspecialists.com/633633t-diesel-nos-tool-kit Evidently, NISSAN sold diesel engines to International Harvester for their SuperScout diesel models and the tool roll came with the engines to be delivered with the vehicles. The seller on Ebay wants 5 times the price on the IH website.

I must have missed this thread. I had no idea. I should call him.

I wasn't too surprised with the price. Especially listed on a place like BaT. As much as I would love to have that bling on my engine, they weren't the right carbs for me. I've seen better deals but this one DID include two nice manifolds.

The triple Mikuni carburetors on BaT last week just sold for $6,666. Good bidding war at the end.

The early, early cars didn't have insulation mat melted over the holes in the metal. I can't think of anything other than weight saving for that design.

Here's a good thread on fuel pumps.

How about various jack handles? Here are two different ones I have.
