   I've replaced the weatherstripping for the quarter window but to me it looks like there is something missing between the interior trim and the frame of the window. It's a few years since I removed the windows so dont remember how it should be?

   MSA sectional carpet kit Q

   The front mats come without the slots cut for the securing hooks in the floor pan to go through. They're easy enough to cut myself but should I take them to an upholstery shop to edge stitch after cutting or is there a DIY trick that will work? Also the included firewall snap fasteners don't seem to be the same size as the original or do they need a little more initial force to mate?

   Steering Wheel Spoke Colour. 1 2

   On the '72 240z I just bought the steering wheel spokes are silver, looks like its paint (Someones gone crazy with silver paint under the bonnet also, airfilter cover, front grill, oil cap, brake fluid caps). They are supposed to be matt black aren't they. Also the clear coat varnish on the "wood" is peeling off. Anyone got any tips on fixing up the steering wheel. And the Datsun 240z badge on the glovebox, is the lettering supposed to be painted white?

   My JVC CD receiver shorted out over the winter when the heavy winter dews got inside- I should've brought it in the house for storage. So I went to BestBuy to see what's available, and the current CD receivers basic are of two types- Bluetooth and "Media." The bluetooth ones connect to your "phone" which I don't have, so it won't help me. I do have a tablet for navigation, and if I could feed the audio instructions from the tablet to the receiver while driving, that would help. The "Media" units have one or two USB ports where you connect flashdrive, or an Android or IOS device for access to the music on the device, or to control (?) the receiver. Most uni…

   I believe both of the seats of my car have been misplaced. One should be on the passenger side and the other on the driver´s side. I did noticed that only the right one (passenger side) is the only one that has a cable underneath. Shouldnt this cushion be on the driver´s side?

   Question for you guys. I have two cracks about 5 inches long. In your opinion is it worth trying to fix? Do those covers look good? What are the fix options? Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

   How firm are the molded seat foam inserts?

   I've been reading through some of the great seat rebuild threads and have been wondering how firm are the new molded foam inserts from MSA and other venders? I love the look of the OEM seats but mine are mush, I'd rather rebuild them then go aftermarket as long as the outcome is a nice firm seat. Could someone who has done a rebuild comment on how much of a change the new foam makes? Thanks, Steve

    Are the seat strap clips available anywhere?

    I'm replacing the crappy Victoria British/Black Dragon straps that I installed in the early 90's and have had a couple of the clips that hook into the seat frame holding the straps in place break on me. Rather than see how many more break I'd rather just replace them all with new. I am able to make my own as it's pretty easy to fabricate a jig to bend the wire I would honestly rather just buy them if possible. I've check some upholstery supply stores online but have found nothing so far.

    I need help in finding the best supplier to match the seats in my 77 280z. As you can see in the top picture the covers I have are way off. I need something like the lower picture.

    Do the 72 - 78 seats match up to 70 seat to bolt them to the floor? I like the spring seat bottom and recline adjustment much better on the 72 - 78 seats.
