Hey guys, I've seen decals to apply to your guage faces that are white, but I've been looking all over the internet and can't find them anymore. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and where I can find them? Any help is appreciated.

Z heater question...

The 71 Z I recently bought I found sitting at my neighbors ranch, he informed me that he thought mice had been living in it. I found evidence of this, they leave clues laying around, so I set out on finding the nest they used. It turns out they turned the heater into an apartment complex. I removed the heating system completely and obviously cleaned it very well. Though the mice had ripped apart the foam padding for thier nest that is on each side of the little door in the heater that you open and close to allow air to blow through. Is there a place to buy replacement foam pads to stick in there, or would I be better off getting a similar thickness foam and cutting o…

OK before I go and start removing nuts and bolts I wanted to ask what to I undo to remove the seats. I have an 81 VW and there is one nut to remove and the seats slide off the tracks, is there anything like this or do I remove the four nuts that I think I need to remove to get the seats out. I realize this is sort of a stupid question but I want to just check. Bart

There is only thing that I don't love about my car. It is an absolute impossibility to get in and out of the thing gracefully!!!!! Is there anyway to raise the seat? Of course then, the steering wheel would probably be in the way. Any ideas??

Is the horn pad itself involved with honking the horn or is it just what you press on and the horn mechanism is part of the steering wheel. Frankenstein Z P.S. Frankenstein is coming alive.:classic:

My question is this How many of us are running a 240z with Beige (off-white) as the Interior Colour. I would particularly like to hear about HS30 right hookers. It will be interesting to see just how many these interiors are left in 240z,s as I think they maybe harder to source parts for now. So if you have a 240Z or Know of a 240z with the Beige interior fitted please respond with a post to let us Know. Thanks Steve with 73 110 Red/Beige :classic:

Hello fellow Zers' My perfect dash is developing a crack! It's about an 1/8 inch. I've been keeping a white towel over it since I got it. Does or has anybody tried to repair one of these? I remember years ago they used to advertise on t.v a vinyl repair kit but I have yet to see one. I really want to take care of this ASAP. Any help would be appreciated. Dave

'71 240z seats

The seats in my 240 were done!! so I got anothers set of re-upolstered seats from a guy put them together and installed them, they came out great except that the space between the seat cushion (where your butt goes) and the back support is about 1-1 1/2". This isn't too bad but, this is my 3rd 240 and I can't recall seeing a gap this big! Did Datsun make 2 different length connection brackets (what are those metal pieces called that hold the seats together??) Is there some other threaded holes on the sides of the seats that I missed??

Advice on interior and rust 1 2

Guys (and ladies) As you may know, I am currently in search of rust on my 71. I am scraping up the tar mat (so far just on passenger side) as we speak. A heat gun is helping, but still a PITA. Anyway, my plan is to get the floor completely stripped then POR-15 the heck out of it. What about the trans tunnel and the rear deck? I still have the diamond vinyl on the trans tunnel. Is it worth taking that all off and using POR-15 under that? I guess the removal is just the console then the vinyl? I have not even looked at the rear hatch area. Is it worth stripping that all down as well? Is there tar mat back there? (UGH) Current photos in my gallery as I scrape.
