On my driver's door the pin that the spring-loaded arm (with the notches on it) pushes on to keep the door open has broken off. Did that pin screw in or was it pressed? Does anybody know the size of the pin? thx

My passenger door has a bad (only over hard bumps in the road) rattle that I've traced, to the best of my ability, to the striker plate. The door sits perfectly in the door jam and the weather stripping is good. The striker plate is rotated all the way in at the bottom so there is no more adjustment left. It appears to me that the notch where the latch locks into the striker plate is slightly worn and therefore too wide - causing the rattle. My first thought is to buy another striker - so as not to ruin the original, and manipulate it if it is also worn. I would weld a bead on the edge that contacts the latch and then take it down slowly with a dremel until it seats prope…

I have a 73 Z with excellent paint and chrome that I would like to protect. The car lives indoors and came with a light weight cotton cover. But I am concerned about dings and scratches. Anyone have experience with or advice about heavy duty indoor covers such as durafin? My main concern is that it will breathe sufficiently in the rather humid environment here. http://www.carcovers.com/materials.html#durafin Thanks, Z

Anyone got the best and easiest way to remove a 240Z windshield without damaging it? I checked at O'Rielys for a windshield removal tool and they didn't have anything.

I've got a 7-72 front bumper and brand new 70-72 mounting brackets. I've tried to figure out how the brackets "just bolt up" but I don't see it :-( I've searched the forums, but can't find specific information on how to mount these on my 73. Can anyone offer me some specifics or links to better info? Thanks! -Ken P.

Just curious if anyone has a source for new factory fenders for my '71 240Z. The tops have quite a few small dents in them. Not sure if it would be easier to repair what I have or swap our for some new ones. I have tried PDR without much success.

I purchased a front air dam for a 70-74 Z from Motorsport. I had it painted and I am now ready to install it. After drilling the holes for the T/S and widening the front between the headlight buckets, I have it clamped into place. Here is the problem: The indentation for the bumper is about an 1" too short. My '71 Z bumper indent is longer than the fiberglass spoiler indent. The turn signals do not fit either. Have I got a late 260 spoiler? What is it?

I think there are 'stains' in the paint on my hood finisher panel, (below the windscreen). It looks like little spots maybe from oil, or dirt of something else. I've tried to scrub the paint woth soap & water, and it didn't seem to help, and I don't think I want to try anything stronger yet. I did a little sanding with 100 grit to get some roughness out, but I don't think it helped either. I might try a little mineral spirits next, or is there something that might get the stains out? thx

The top surface of the rear bumper on my 280Z looks like it's got some paint overspray on it, but at close inspection, it's really very small pitting? can you polish that out or something? thx
