Thanks for the advise. I will give it a try and let you know if it works. So far you guys have been 100% on the advise. Mark

I have the half shafts out of the car and am now trying to remove the universal joints. I removed the 4 cotter pits but cant get them out of the shaft. Can anyone help me with this. Mark

This is a set of Eibach Pro-kit lowering springs for 70-74 coupe. These are new in box and never installed. Follow this link to read more about http://www.eibach.com/index1.htm I paid $279 plus shipping and tax. Will sell for $195 plus shipping.

I know. I think this is the first time I have ever seen anyone use a Z motor in another car. Usually they are putting other motors in the Z. Not a bad idea though for a great little British roadster. Mark

Here is an interesting find I saw on Ebay. A 1961 MGA with a 240Z motor. Beautiful car with a reliable engine that needs to be completed. Check it out! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2403271323&category=6314

I just picked up a pair of Corbeau TRS seats on E-Bay. Does anyone know where I can buy the brackets for the 240Z. Some of the websites I found wont sell the bracket without the seat. Mark:cry:

I managed to finaly track down a rear center face bar for my 70z. Its the US spec bumper. Does anyone know weather I can use the US center with euro ends without any modification. Mark

Thanks for all the great advise. I will let you all know the out come. Being as my car is going to be in the paint shop for three more months, it gives me plenty of time to look around. Thanks again Mark

I think I found a website that carries RS Watanabe. www.magnesiumwheels.com. I sent an email for them to contact me regarding availabity. I believe I am correct in saying that 240z has a 4x114.3 thread pattern. PLease let me know if I am wrong. Mark

Finally spoke to someone at So Cal Alterations and it seems they only sell used Watanabe and have a very limited supply. As a matter of fact they didnt even have a set of 4. So, my search continues. Mark

If I am going to us 1 inch lowering springs, do you think this size would fit without the flares or modifying the openings? Mark

Thanks for the great info. So, what I am seeing in your photo gallery of your orange Z are type B? What size are you running in that photo?

Thanks. Do you know the model number on your wheels.

Eric, Do you have a phone number for them or website

Thanks for the referral. I sent him a reply. Are these Japanese import only or can you get them online somewhere?

Are you still selling these rims?

I am looking for a set of RS Watanabe Rims in black. Either 15 or 16 inch. If anybody has a set for sale or knows where I can find a set, please let me know. Must be in good shape. Thanks Mark

I sent my tank to a local Radiator repair shop that also restored tanks. Mine wasnt in too bad a shape. It had a small dent and a lot of overspray from a white paint job. I shipped the tank for $20 and they completely sand blasted inside and out and installed the new sending unit. Then they bake on a flat black paint finish. Looks like brand new. They did the strapps too. They are located in Stockton, CA. Total cost was about $250. A lot cheaper than buying a new one. Mark

Other than the door jams and sills, the only interior part that was blasted was under the spar wheel do to rust. This way it allowed me to see the extent of the damage and make the necessary repairs. I decided that removing the paint from the rest of the interior was not worth it and would be better to leave the old paint. I decided to line the interior with 3/8 inch sound dedening material under the carpets and all of the interior panels. Mark

66 GT you want to look under the spare wheel. Try to pull it out and see whats going on. This was where I had the worst damage and their is no panal you can buy to replace. Other areas of concern are bottom corners of hatch and bottom of fenders infront of door and behind door near rocker panel. The other obviouse ones are the floor pans infront of the seat. Although you can buy replacements you should think about the condition of these areas before offering a price All of these areas are prone to rust as they collect the runoff of water.
