Are these seals the same for a 240z? http://www.vintagerubber.com/datsun240z-PassDoorGlassSeal.aspx http://www.zcarsource.com/door-window-channel-felt-upper-240z-260z-280z-70-78-new_8_56659_63784.HTML I would not like to buy the same seal again through a different provider as i already bought the window channel felt upper and lower! Please confirm.

Reading through some of the great tech forums here, 16 gauge sheet metal seemed to be the selected gauge for various rust repair projects. Any helpful hints or personal experience on the question will be appreciated. Thicker gauge too difficult to shape or form? Thinner gauge too thin to weld? What is the original gauge sheetmetal on rear hatch floor areas, inner front wells, etc.? Thanks in advance, John-Lugoff, SC

The dismantling continues on this resurrection project. Rust has won many battles in the 19 years this car was parked but hopefully we can make it roadworthy again. Definitely a long term project. The sheet metal above the rear panel that secures the weatherstripping for the rear hatch is rusted away under the rubber weatherstripping. The top and side sections are not too bad but the bottom section is pretty well gone. TABCO products shows a part # 16761U-rear panel, upper top-but the picture is a bit unclear to me. Is the lip for the weatherstripping formed in that part? Or will I be better to form my own replacement section to make a good hatch seal lip? Any one install…

The rear valance on this resurrection project has some rust along with the rear quarter panels. I have removed the rear bumper and bumper end guards. Outside of the bumper looks pretty good but the gussets inside are mostly rotted away. Vacuumed out about 7 pounds of rust from the inside of the bumper. Ran out of time tonight to do some more inspection, but it appears the valance and the bumper filler lip is welded to the rear quarters. Am I correct or are there some fasteners I did not have time to locate? I did not find any info on the SEARCH function on this website. This complete but rusty Z will certainly be needing quite a bit of new sheetmetal. Thanks for any help,…

as most of you know I own a 72 240z colored lime yellow or code 112. I have always been under the impression that this color was only offered on the 72 model year. on ebay I see a 73 for sale with the same color code sticker. it's a beautiful car and has a repaint but according to the description is original color. my question is, did the 73 come in this color option?

Can anyone tell me the right way to fix this? Ideally, I want to source a new wall from a parts car if I can find one and have it sent to me, but I have a feeling it might be cost prohibitive. /M

74 260. Sept. 73 build date. History, Two P.O.s attempted to get it back on the road. Neither had any success. Engine didn't run. It does now. Outside shell was sound. Painted flat black. Seemed reasonably complete judging by the boxes full of removed parts. Spare engine(actually the original). 5 speed, 92,000 on the odometer. $1350.00 I tried to tell myself no, wait for a better one, spend a little more money, you know, logical things. But it appeared that if I didn't try, the car was headed for the great PiknPul in the sky. What was I to do. Certainly not the logical thing. Rusted out areas; battery tray, fender well below it, 6" strip of the firewall too, rea…

Hi, I'm having trouble getting the hang of setting up my HVLP gun. I sprayed some primer this weekend and wasn't happy with the results. I'm hoping someone here can help me out a little. I've watched to usual youtube videos and understand the controls, but because I'm inexperienced I don't think I know what the spray pattern should look like or what adjustments to make to get there. Pressure seems to be my biggest problem. I understand the concept of HVLP - high volume, low pressure. Some of the paints I'm using talk about pressure at the cap. There's no way that I'm aware of to measure this. Obviously there's a pressure drop in the gun. I notice, though that wh…

I have almost all the seals and gaskets needed before painting my 240z. I bought the complete basic kit sold by Vintage Rubber. However, both of my doors rattle and i would like information on all the inner seals and / or gaskets or bumper seals.
