Riceburner Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Hi guys, I have just received the new Gnose and I'd like to know the correct way to fit the headlight covers. They have the mounting hardware with them which consists of screws and backing plates. Do these plates go on the underside of the Fibreglass or on the top side? Quote

Perhaps send a message (PM) to HS30-H (Alan) as he has a genuine ZG and will probably know for sure. Quote
Riceburner Posted August 16, 2011 Author Posted August 16, 2011 Good idea, just did it. Thanks Gav. Quote
Moderators Zedman240® Posted August 16, 2011 Moderators Posted August 16, 2011 Gareth, if you want to mount them an easier way, I have the stainless nutserts and correct stainless screws that match the originals if you want... I mounted mine with the original hardware.. first you need to mark the holes on the headlight bucket where the large screws go then screw those small rectangular plates with the countersunk self drillers but first drill a 6mm hole for the main screws to go through. I pre-drilled a small hole for the self tappers anyway. Wait, I'll scan the instructions for you...they are for the "regular" covers but I think they are the same.. Quote
Riceburner Posted August 16, 2011 Author Posted August 16, 2011 I might take you up on the nutsert offer mate. That diagram will help too, thanks Quote
Moderators Zedman240® Posted August 16, 2011 Moderators Posted August 16, 2011 The stainless screws I found are far better than the originals that are just zinc plated; mine are starting to rust already! Will you be at the island this weekend? I can bring a set with me.. Quote
Riceburner Posted August 17, 2011 Author Posted August 17, 2011 Not racing anymore this year, got to get this Gnose on and looking good. I'll give you a call at some stage and see if I can pick them up. Thanks again Quote

Riceburner Posted August 17, 2011 Author Posted August 17, 2011 Hey Mick, found them on yahoo auctions Japan a while back. I often search there, looking under S30Z and 240ZG. There's heaps of goodies on there Quote
