Just have to pull the tach and reach through the dash to change the bulb. Are you certain you have a bad bulb?

You have a loose connection or cold solder joint that needs to be addressed. Did you say in an earlier post that the switches had been refreshed?

@Terrapin Z

Sorry about that. I totally didn’t put two and two together.

@Jeff Berk, Are you trying to do something that’s not Stock? If so I totally understand. If not why not go to the local Nissan dealer with a p/n from CarParts Manual and order what you need. Forgive me here if I missed something.

Probably has them made to order. Not sure it’s a fast moving item.

Had one years ago. Switch mounted on the turn signal lever. Turned out to be a real mess. A lot of drilling and really ruined the look of the engine bay. Not to mention the model I had worked off the drive shaft and a lot of drilling into the body. I regret installing mine personally. It’s all been removed during the restoration. A lot of spot welds to fill holes.

Touched base with Steve. At this point he hasn’t reproduced this grommet.

View Advert 1977-78 Inner fender well headlight/side marker grommet Searched the best I can and can’t find a supplier for these two grommets needed. I can use what I have but not so good for the refurbished engine bay. Thanks in advance for any help moving forward.

Here are some pics of the grommet. I will also post on the wanted classifieds. Thanks

Hopefully you have lock down casters on the cart with the vise!!

Hmmm… Hopefully you just might have something that will work!!

I’ve searched the forum and Car Parts Manual looking for the lighting harness grommet that feeds through the engine bay into the wheel well for the head light & side marker lights. Can anyone help with identifying or sourcing these grommets for my build? Appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks in advance….

@Captain Obvious Go With The Bling. It ill be alright!!!

Max at Resurrection Classics spends a lot of time researching and finding manufacturers. I’ve been to his whse and walked me through the parts inventory and the stories along the way getting to this point.

What’s the possibility of somebody out there having a tail shaft housing they no longer need for whatever reason. You never know….

Which seal company did you go with?

Sorry, Didn’t realize you weren’t in the States. No Harbor Freight stores in the Netherlands I’m assuming.

The differential front mount where the forward support attaches to the frame. Check the u joints on the half shafts.

They are very small plastic push pins similar to the interior but much smaller. Still available from Nissan. Expensive meaning they are $4.71 each but you have to buy a pack of 10. p/n 79909-E4100 Send me a PM if you can’t buy just 2

I recently bought the bolts from my Nissan dealer if you have a guy there that will work with you.

Replace that harness. I think you will find the reverse light sockets are corroded and have at least one bulb that is burnt out. The harness is the key IMHO. As far as tightening those clamps they only need to be snug. There isn’t any significant pressure except on the feed line.

Guess you haven’t checked the front door yet!!😂😂😂

Went to HF and bought a pair of Doyle 12” needle nose pliers. Worked great!

You can get those nos blades from ZCD.
