Thanks for the offer. Fortunately, I bought a spare 10 or 11 years ago when a Z dismantler in Albuquerque was closing up shop. I was just making sure you were offering a 73 hazard switch since it is unique to that year. I'd hate for you to send a switch to him only to find out that it won't work. Save it for the next person who needs one.

Do you have a spare 73 hazard switch? That was a one-year only switch.

Show photos of the current condition of the hazard switch.

Now this I might be able to work with. I have a 70/71 fusebox hiding in my garage somewhere. I'll have to take a look at it and give you my opinion.

Please elaborate. What wires do not match up? Are you talking about colors? Are you talking about connectors?

Just promise to post lots of photos when you get your hands on it.

It's not a stock socket. Stock sockets in the 240Z are grounded to the gauges, IIRC. The green wire on that socket should be your ground.

Both my 73 & 74 have three screws securing the ring to the filler neck. I'll try to remember to post photos for you.

Make that a late 260Z. My 260Z has a filler neck identical to my 240Z.

It's definitely for the radio. The challenge is to find a wiring diagram that shows the white and white/black wires.

This is similar to what I had in my mind's eye. I was thinking that the block could go into the notch on the ring.

Scene: Chevy Chase is on the phone as Don Pardo announces, "And now Weekend Update with Chevy Chase." Chevy: "No...that's just what they call it...No, you don't actually blow on it." Looks up. "Uh, I've gotta go." Hangs up phone. "Our top story tonight..." To Mark's post, here are pictures of the BMW cap and Z cap. About the only way for the BMW cap to latch would be to clamp down on the ring. You can see the possible range of motion on the BMW cap. Ideally for a locking cap would be for a block on the cap to slide to slot on the ring to keep the cap from turning.

At least you guys could get the cap onto the car. I bought a BMW 1600 gas cap, and it didn't fit. The good thing is that it's easy to remove the ring and look at the fitment for locking purposes.

I bought a couple of sets from Black Dragon a couple of years ago, but installing them hasn't made it to my 'round-to-it list.

What does it look like underneath? How about in in the engine bay, especially around the battery tray and brake master? Is the car usually parked outside with the nose going downhill? If so, watch for rust around the hatch sill.

It's the land of 1000 lakes. You need to keep the windows up in the summer to keep out the mosquitoes.

I also found this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-240-280Z-locking-gas-cap-/112011450002?hash=item1a14671692:g:hEYAAOSwOtBXS68n&vxp=mtr Maybe Jai could write to the seller of this one and ask for a picture/measurement of the underside: http://www.ebay.com/itm/DATSUN-1200-B210-210-LOCKING-CHROME-GAS-FUEL-CAP-NEW-OLD-STOCK-/142005401286?hash=item21102e76c6:g:FykAAOSwa81XRxMQ&vxp=mtr Another one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/DATSUN-Z-SERIES-1970-1976-240z-260z-280z-Deluxe-A-HEAVY-DUTY-LOCKING-GAS-CAP-/112025793011?hash=item1a1541f1f3:g:bX4AAOSwnFZXXbih&vxp=mtr

Someone who has actually seen the locking gas cap, such as @Montezuma, should probably chime in first to say whether or not that is the right one.

This one isn't as bad... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-280Z-280ZX-wheel-center-caps-new-nos-/301650075306?hash=item463bbedeaa:g:lkAAAOSwX8RXHAwu&vxp=mtr

Do you have a spare kidney? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-280ZX-4-Spoke-Alloy-Wheel-Round-Center-Caps-1979-81-NOS-Original-/282044578482?hash=item41ab2abab2:g:JVwAAOSwvUlWs6L0&vxp=mtr I bought a set a few years ago from an ebay seller in the Middle East for around $80.
