Does anyone know where I can get rubber gromets for the floorboards and firewall where the AC hoses come in? The gromets on my 73 240Z were removed long ago by the PO and never replaced. I tried Black Dragon and MSA to no avail. Any thoughts? Brad

Noticed in the Black Dragon catalog that the door glass isn't listed for the 240Z. It says "260-280Z" Is this a typo/ommision or is the 240 glass unique to the model? Curious, Jim

Need some help. As you know I have been working on my floorpans, etc. I went out and bought an air saw and a cut off tool. I have a 2 HP 12 Gallon Air Compressor. Neither tool is cutting the metal. Not sure if it is a problem with the Air Compressor or what. I have tried to adjust the tools and that doesn't help the cutting. Someone said I need a larger air compressor. Can anyone give me their lessons learned on the right size for an air compressor? Thanks, Jimmy

I wish there were a way to take off the red respray the the PO deemed necessary to apply. He must have taken it to one cheap shop, because every day it seems that a little more of the red just flakes off, revealing the beautiful root beer brown beneath. It's almost as if the painters painted over the brown without removing the wax, that's how nice the original color is underneath. At this point the paint is only coming off around the mirrors, and the inner door jamb area, but the brown areas are growing.

Looking for some ideas on some blacked-out door key locks for my car. I am painting all of my trim and door handles black b ut not sure to do about the door locks. Did they have black door locks on early Z's ? I am contemplating powder coating the locks but don't know if that is a good solution. I don't believe paint will hold up to key scratches.

Are sandblasting cabinets with the built in handpiece and hoses any good? I think the work by the siphon of media as the air passes through the hand piece. Harbor Frieght is having a sale on both a table top and floor standing unit. I have a lot of parts that I would like to clean and repaint. I have a nice air compressor that should give me plenty of power. Carl

I am continuing my floor pan replacement project. I have cut out the old floor pans. As you can see, the rust was really quite bad. After cutting out the old floor pans I started trying to figure out how to get the pans to fit. I think I am in for quite a job. Looking forward, the front section is also quite bad. I bought some sheet steel from a local supply company to cut out the patch panels for the other portions. Any thoughts comments or guidance is welcome.

I had a guy tell me that Klasse car wax was the stuff to use for my Z to give it that"lasting" shine like all the wax companies claim. Has anyone in the forum used Klasse before. I am very particular about the wax that I use. I also heard that Zymol was a good one as well.
