Here are three (3) variations of fuel/gas cap chains used to attached the cap to the retainer ring. Does anyone know the model year/series/production year of the various chains. Thanks, Keith

I recently visited the International Motor Racing Research Center (IMRRC) in Watkins Glen, NY (https://www.racingarchives.org/). Unfortunately, their collection of Datsun/Nissan information is quite limited. (I have attached photos of the titles currently in the archives.) Should you (or your family) decide to donate your Datsun/Nissan literature, please consider IMRRC a worthy caretaker of historical racing (or other) publications. Keith

I am still seeking guidance on Model Year or Production Timeframe the chain feature was added to the early style cap. Thanks, Keith

Since Kimberly Clark (KC) discontinued the Evolution 4 fabric for car covers, the only KC fabric appears to be BLOCK-IT NOAH Barrier Fabric (not as sun/wind resistant). Has anyone purchased an outdoor car cover within the past 18 months which they are satisfied with the material? Thanks, Keith

zKars, What is the application process to prohibit the installed tape from unwinding from the covered wires? Keith

Which electrical tape do you prefer for wiring harness repair/maintenance? Please add the reason(s) for your preference. Also, please let me know if there is an alternative choice which should be added to the poll.

Sorry, no spare box lids. Keith

zKars, If you can provide additional information about the missing strip, I may have the part in my spares: https://www.flickr.com/photos/53116286@N07/51718901792/in/album-72157720208645992/ Keith

HS30-H, I understand your observation. I am a bit confused however, since the USDM Series 1 were shipped to the United States (US) without carpet and padding. The carpet and padding were cut and installed in the US, therefore why would US fabricator make accommodations for Japanese market forward seat mounts? (Unfortunately, I do not have access to "Japanese market forward seat mounts" to compare the measurements of the bracket locations and the cutouts.) The mystery is not yet solved! Thanks for your input! Keith

HS30-H, The photo in Post #120 is the USDM left side, noted by the heel pad on the floor mat. Thank you for your explanation of the circled cut-outs. Keith

Kats, Are you aware of any JDM floorboard stamping that would necessitate the jute cutouts indicated by the red circles in the photo below? Thanks, Keith

Jute in Serial No 4684: This is the earliest VIN jute photo I have found. Baring any other information, I will create my template based on the above. Keith

Great acquisition of parts. What is the part number(s) of the strut inserts? Thanks, Keith

dutchzcarguy, Please provide a photo of the sheet metal screw (your photo is a machine screw) used for this application. None of the sheet metal screws in this thread or the thread below have the JIS marking you indicate. Naturally, I do not want to install a JIS screw where one was not originally installed during original production. Photographic proof of JIS is appreciated. Thanks, Keith

Final production: The washer material used contains elastomer this minimizes cracking. Although the washer is not generally exposed to sunlight, I have not conducted long term tests on the color fastness or rigidity.) The flash on the inner hole is covered by the fastener head. The next challenge is to locate a manufacturer of the correct size oval, phillips head screw. Keith

Does any have a source for the clear washer used to attach the lower door panel on the Series 1 cars? Thanks, Keith

See post 35 above. Keith
