David at MSA would only say they are sourced from Japan. He did sent me a photo of the Aftermarket heater hose and an OEM reducer hose. Pretty close! Keith

I contacted them…they do not have a close-up photo of their hose which they will share, so I cannot determine if their hoses “braid” matches OEM. Keith

Is this the same set that is offered by the TheZStore (MSA)? https://www.thezstore.com/product/4904/oem-style-braided-heater-hose-set-70-72-240z Thanks, Keith

Here is a pair of seat side brackets: Keith

You do not need to replace the entire seat back and bottom, just obtain LH side brackets and sliders. (Note, the seat belt hook mounting screw hole would have to be drilled in the left (outer) side of the seat back.) Keith

Looks good. Did you install the clear plastic protector between the seat side brackets and the upholstery? Keith

Consider a Black Acid Neutralizing Mat (Link) to save potential future corrosion damage. Keith

Thanks, Keith

Would anyone please post a close-up photo of the texture of one of the jdm-car-parts.com reproduction hoses. All their photos of the reproduction hoses do not show the weave texture. The OEM sold via jdm-car-parts.com and MSA have a wider weave. Resurrected Classics hose close-up photo of the texture on the website have tight weave: Thanks, Keith

SteveJ Please post a Resurrected Classics hose close-up photo of the texture of one of the hoses next time you visit the Z. The stock photos on the website have tight weave: The OEM sold via jdm-car-parts.com and MSA have a wider weave. Thanks, Keith

Johnz1971 Did you purchased the Resurrected Classics Braided hose kit? How does the appearance and texture compare to original OEM braided hoses? Thanks, Keith

Yikes, locating DOT approved 175R14 or 175/80R14 tires is a chore. So far these are the options: Radar Dimax Classic 175R14 88H BSW Dunlop Sport Classic | 175/80R14 88H Michelin XAS | 175HR14 88H Vredestein Sprint Classic 175HR14 Nankang NA-1 175/80R14 The choices 10 years ago were much more varied. The vehicles that used this size as OEM were: 1967-72 Mercedes-Benz (W114/ W115) 1980-83 Mercedes-Benz 240D (OE with 175R14) 1980-85 Peugeot 505 Sedan (OE with 175SR14) 1980 Toyota Celica Supra (OE with 175R14) 1981-86 Toyota Celica ST (OE with 175SR14) 1980-82 Toyota Corona DLX,LE (OE with 175R14) 1980-84 Volvo 242 DL (OE with 175SR14) 1980-85 Volvo 244 DL (OE with 175SR14) As the above models became scrapped the demand for the tire size shrunk. The hunt continues. Keith

Specing out tires for spring of 2024.

Welcome to the joys of 920 ownership. Keith

This product 3M tape eliminates the need to use the barrel clips. The barrel clips can chip the paint and cause rust. Keith
