minibus.....microbus??? at least call it a super kart

Thanks for the replies. I don’t know what year the 260 tank is. I bought it some time ago because it was available and In good condition. I finally reduced the car to a body shell and started to look at it again. The 240 tank has some dents but no leaks. ( had fuel in it until two days ago ). My concern was that it would give unreliable readings. Thanks again.

I know the 260z tank will fit into a 240z and that the correct mounting straps are needed.....A question about the fuel sender unit. Nissan list the same part number for the sender unit for both tanks. Does any one know if the fuel gauge will still work accurately?

Thanks Jeff. I’ll check the calibration of my micrometers and get back to you. Perhaps one time in Canberra we’ll be able to catch up. The tape measure I used is old .... not as old as me but it’s old. Thanks again. Pete.

Can any one help me with this please. The bar came in a batch of parts that I bought. I believe that its a rear bar from a 260Z 2+2. The centre portion is 1315 mm overall length compared with 1295 mm for my 2 seater bars. The end pieces have a different mounting to my 2 seater bars.

Photo of the glove box box from my spare dash. No idea of the year of the car it came from. The steering column mounting mark is not visible in the photo but it is "AST" the same as the dash out of my car which is the clear photo. Cant find the glove box liner from my car to see what is written on it. It is a late 1973 car # 103779

I thought it would be better to dismantle whole panels instead of cutting them. I agree with gilltech about checking alignments etc. This is a brace that I made to keep the rear struts in place while I do some repairs.

Is a "cut and shut" legal??? I agree with the man of many names "C.A.F" Let some one with experience and skills to do the job decide the best way to go about it...

Have a great drive Peter....be wary of happy smiling foreign visitors driving on the wrong side of the road.

The seal / gasket locates over the edge of the housing. One seal fits both sides. I hope this helps Peter

Hi Craig My 1973 car tool kit came complete with missing spanners screwdriver and pliers......I bought this kit from B Projects in Japan quite a while ago ... My wheel chocks are the fixed type...the car was a one registered owner car so I'm pretty confident that they were original. Pete

Getting a bit off track from the original post here... Gav...is this the pipe you are referring to? on the two carbie manifold stets that I have the " pipe" is 10mm OD tube.... I bought some from a hydraulic shop in town and it was zinc plated. There is no flaring but a rubber ring is used part number 14013-73400 and this would allow for expansion. I cant find the two rubber rings at the moment...must be in super storage aka lost . I hope this helps.

The mirror stem will most likely be of more interest than the turn signal housings. I've posted before and after photos ..the mirror stem was in a particularly bad state after some one else had a go at it and left a hole in it http://www.aclassmetal.com.au/ https://www.facebook.com/pages/A-Class-Metal-Finishers/133288193385505 I won't post the cost on here because it can vary a lot depending on the original condition. I sent some photos and they offered a best and worst price to me and it came to a bit above half way. They did about four different processes in the job. Strip and polish, repair and fill and a couple of plating processes. There must be a lot of mirrors out there that would benefit from the process. Hope this is of interest Peter

Just another one Gav...this one is from April 1971 Modern Motor and the car featured in the test was Victorian registered KNL 127 The scan loaded upside down maybe you can help Gav
