Plea for 240Z Parts - HHHEEEELLLLPPPP !!!

[acf321]

Hi all .. thought that might get you in!

 

Now I know you all know the Brown Hornet, and as its getting VERY close to being a starter in the coming weeks (or thereabouts) I just wanted to throw out a lifeline to ask you all to check your workbenches for those parts that you might have (but don't need), that I do need. Just as a reminder, my car is a June 1971 Aussie delivered car.

 

Here is a brief list of OEM parts I'm looking for at this stage. Drop me a PM if you can part with any, and THANKS BENNY for helping me out on the rear tail light garnish stainless trim this week.

 

1) I need a blade style hazard switch that reads 'Flash' on it. This is the type that goes into the hole on the dash to the left of the steering wheel.

 

2) I need the interior plastic kit that covers the inside of the rear hatch. I have the roof piece and the window surrounds, but need the rear sides, and the rear tail light cover. There are discreet differences between the 71 model and later also that can make things even more confusing. I have the plastic clips to hold it in, but just need the plastic panels.

 

3) this is crazy, BUT, I need the two screws that hold the rear of the centre console in place, as well as the washers (if there were any). I also need to correct screw that holds in the rear coin tray. I have the factory coin tray, and ash tray, but the correct retaining screws are missing.

 

4) I need the plastic piece that both the choke and hand throttle levers come out of (with the rear demister button on it), that sticks to the middle of the centre console. I have one, but its pretty average. A better one would be very helpful, and I reckon there must be a few of these lying about in sheds, as most guys have removed the choke / hand throttle assemblies with their modern engine swaps, 

 

5) yeah I know its ridiculous, but I am after a 5 speed shift knob.

 

6) on the seat (forward / reverse) slide levers, there is supposed to be a plastic handle. I do not have these handles, and would love a set. This is NOT the rotary adjuster on the side of the seat, but is the handle that you lift up to slide the seat either back or forward.

 

I'm sure there are more, but these are the ones that are causing me grief at the moment.

 

Cheers

Adam,

 

Is that the leather bound with 4 stitch lines from memory, that has the red round face and gold colored gear positions?

 

If it is I think I have one that I took off the car in 1983 and stored away.

 

Cheers

3) from memory needle point , button head 8g x 15 or 20mm (bunnings !)

5) buckleys

6) do you just mean just the black plastic cover that slips over the end of the steel rod ?

I think the screws for #3 are M5? raised head countersunk screws.. about 15mm long. I may have some in my collection. I think the 260Z had the same screw for their consoles.
