Here is a set of TWO that recently went for $105.00 on eBay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7951179647&category=43954

Don't think that would work..........all of the parking is already filled with parts cars.

Will, are you building a trailer queen or a car to be driven? In my daily driver, I painted with Rustoleum (forget the name, some silver lookin color) I thought about a clear coat after that, but in the end didn't follow through.

California does that for commercial vehicles

I figured that George was referring to the difference between Social drinkers, and Serious drinkers. Social drinkers waste alot of time chatting and munching on pretzels that could be used to ingest another couple of drinks. JMO, Seriously!

The petrol tax was used (allegedly) for infrastructure (roads, highways, bridges,etc). If this comes to pass the "petrol" tax will be eliminated, and replaced by a "road use" tax (based on the number of miles driven). Reason being that with higher miles per gallon, and alternative fuel vehicles the cents per gallon petrol tax no longer will bring the necessary funds to maintain/replace/improve the roads. I'm sure there is a little "big brother" in it also. The government is starting to encourage people to have "chips" implanted in our bodies, claiming benefits to include storage of medical info, identity, and eventually financial info (no more debt cards, just wave your arm past a scanner).

Hey, the Host Hotel could be ChrisA's house!

Those on eBay don't look like "early" 260Z ones to me, they look more like 280Z bumpers in my opinion. I wouldn't put 260Z ones on my car either, but..........................

I don't know

Depending on condition, Slotted Aluminum wheels (Western, Ansen, Appliance, Shelby, etc) typically sell for between $100 and $250 on eBay from what I've seen. But, I haven't been watching much for the last 6 mos.

Definitely NOT 70-72 240Z Bumpers! FWIW, the 1973 240 had 5 mph bumpers w/ shock absorbers, but NOT the style bumper shown in that auction. Another case of someone either trying to rip people off, or uneducated in the Z lifestyle. You cannot delete messages, only moderators can do that.

There is no code for transmission in the VIN for 240Z's. (You didin't say what kind of "Z" you are getting, so I'm guessing it's a 240Z)

I know this has been discussed, so a search using "L24" and "weigh" should retrieve the info for you.

To Spray it safely, you also need sphisticated breathing apparatus.

Vic British sells round plastic covers that are secured by the headlamp trim ring, if all you want is to protect the headlight from pebbles, etc. Rather inexpensive also. They do not enclose the "sugar scoop".

Just so everyone understands......they are talking 280Z springs. Nissan OEM 240Z "standard" springs have been NLA for quite some time.

If it was indeed "perfect", IMO that was a LOW price for a "Nissan NOS bumper".

No Worries here, ROOPZ. The ones you mentioned are definitely low profile. Way Low.

You haven't scene my garage! (Many of my vices are located in the garage)

Yes, I am, and Yes, you aren't too far behind me. But I hadn't forgotten about 30, 35, 40, 45 series tires; it's just that I consider 50 series too low for a comfortable ride in MY Z. My idea of comfort stops at 60 series, so......Ya, I am showing my age, and the condition of the streets where I live. I cannot afford to replace wheels (or visit the Chiropractor) every time I encounter a pothole.

No. Mine is 2 hole, production date 11/71 The Thermostat Housing bolts to the Cylinder Head with 2 bolts on my car. The Thermostat Housing Cover, or Top is attached to the Housing with 2 bolts from 1970 thru 2/73 production dates. After that, they switched to the 3 bolt Cover or Top.

If you read the below attached thread ALL THE WAT THROUGH (2 pages), I believe that you will find all of the info that you need. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5209&highlight=Metric+Bolts The "search" engine is your friend.

same as head bolt. 10mm by something IMO, don't use regular grade bolts, get hardened bolts. (Note, Hardened Metric sized bolts are NOT "Grade 8", they use a different numbering system)

Will: I was told by the West Coast POR Distributor that Marine Clean and Metal Ready application should be the last steps before application of th POR15. Anything you do to the surfaces after the application of Metal Ready will remove much of the Zinc Phosphate coating left by the Metal Ready. I'm not meaning to "correct" you, just trying to help by mentioning the instructions I was given when did my floor pans. You can check on this info with the POR-15 Store Representative, Toll Free at..............."(800) 457-6715 if you have any further questions or need additional products or information".

Good Call. A Vice is very handy for this job. Otherwise you are wrestling the parts all over the bench or the shop floor.
