Sorry for the lack of updates, been away with work and generally busy.
some nice little updates/new parts:
had a really strong fuel smell in the garage. Turns out the fuel sender unit had finally given way and was allowing for a slight fuel weep through the terminals, so bought a new genuine one from NZ Datsun parts. Plus a locking ring and a new seal.
Also, I noticed that there was a fair smell coming from the fuel door area. The fuel cap looked alright but I had no idea it had a pressure release valve on the underside. The rubber seal on this spring loaded valve had rotted (see photos). So ordered a new genuine fuel cap…you can see the difference.
Mounted the mic for my new retrosound stereo. It’s not hidden but I think it works well and gives clear comms and eliminates the fuse box cover rattle/jiggle we all experience on rough roads.
Finally, had issues with the park brake light actuation switch. So bought a new genuine one from the states. Fitted and works a treat!
