You're welcome, I remember that when I had my drivers seat back re-upholstered the screw hole was hard to find/feel through the vinyl.

The J hook screw threads into the steel frame of the seat back on a 1970 (guessing by your serial number). The location of the hole is 216mm above the upper seat back mounting screw on my 7'70. HTH Mike

Well done, this is the kind of fake news that I like. I can't wait to see what JNC will do next year.

The original post is from 2014 so I think he gave up. Lol

@nix240z Your early ones look good, and the price is good as well compared to ebay sellers.

Here are some currently on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-Heater-AC-Control-Knob-Set-260Z-280Z-OEM-NEW/312432105152?hash=item48be6796c0:g:rusAAOxy5jxSdrR Same seller also has a set of early ones, but they are missing the screws, like you said they are pricey.

The later knobs from 260Z/280Z do fit, they are simply push on and don't have a retaining screw like the early ones. I have a heater control panel from a 12/70 parts car and it has them on the control levers, they seem adequate. The part number is 27148-Y0100 and they were used from 08/73 forward. HTH Mike

Based on these sales I predict a flood of Z's at future BJ auctions.

What model of S30 do you have, it seems that the torque for this fastener is lower for 70 thru 73 240z's and changed to 33-44 ft-lb with the 260z. FYI this torque spec is listed in all of the FSM's, Here are a couple of images from the 1970 FSM. Did the fastener size change starting with 260z"s? The 240z FSM's indicate 23.1 to 31.1 ft-lb.

You're very welcome. Glad I could help.

I know this question is answered, but I just wanted to mention that it would not be necessary to remove the outer center metal finisher to run the wiring harness and install the grommet. With the license plate light removed it should be no problem. Cheers Mike

Hi Pete, Glad I could help, If the envelop is reimbursement for postage, it's really not necessary. Cheers Mike

If it's the rectangular headlights you like, here's one on Craigslist with a similar body kit. https://vancouver.craigslist.org/rds/cto/d/west-kelowna-1971-datsun-240z/6778747607.html

On the imgur pics there are images of some service records and I saw this, it makes me question the mileage:
