Now I know why he is flying international. When he is on automatic pilot, high above the ocean, he is making round tops. ROFL

Good show, Kats!!!

Thank you Guus,

I have naver made a round top with a jet.Only when I was a trainee,there were 2 days "recovery from unusual attitude"

I was shick.

And a very cool rally 240Z you have!!

BTW,the wire hose clamp is made of single wire.The early one needs much longer wire because of it's shape.It looks like a

lane of a jet corster.

Hey Kats

I cant believe it, I have found a flaw on your car! I can see that the bracket that is holding the brake master vac hoses has a chip in the paint!

Seriously, your assessment of the different types of hose clamps used only on the fuel lines of the 240z agrees with my assessment and clears something up that I have had floating around in my head for a while now.

These different style of clamps are very difficult to find at wrecking yards, but I have managed to come across a few in early 70's vintage Datsuns.

Kats, do you have wrecking yards in Japan? You may want to try the boots of other Datsun models at the yards, I have found many an original style hose clamp that was in unmarked original condition, complete with flawless plating.

Hi Joseph,

You have good eyes!!Even I did not realize that chipping until you told me.I have to paint it tomorrow.

I do not see many wrecking yards here,I envy you.It is unbelievable you can get those rare clamps even they are mint condition.

When I was living in Bakersfield C.A. I used to go shopping 2 or 3 wrecking yards for my 1972 240Z.They were near my dormitry.

That is still my good memories.Every week end I drove my Z some times headed to L.A. and go to orange county for the Mortorsportauto.

Hey Kats

Hope you didnt take my comments the wrong way regarding the chipping of the bracket. It was made more tongue-in-cheek as I know how immaculate your car is and obviously what a perfectonist you are.

I like the sticker you have on your radiator; where did you get that from?

Saw your other post re Kioto globes; thats amazing you can get them new.

Joseph

Joseph,

I knew what you said,please do not worry.

I think it is Just a matter of my english skill!

If I speak much better,I would not let you feel so.

Stickers of my engineroom I think they are came from U.S. nissan

when they did for "vintage Z project"

I do not know because "Tetsu"(restorer) did it already when I saw my completed 240Z.

Yesterday,I cleaned eraly fuel clamps at my home.

I bought them from ebay last month,the seller and I met at Lasvegas in 2000 convention.

Don't they have faux braided coverings for the hoses like the faux stainless braid?

Hi TomoHawk,

I looked up my dictionary but I could not find the right meaning of the word "faux".

I still do not know about "faux braided" hoses.

Does it look like "Earls" hoses?

kats

Kats,

I would love to see your Z along with all the other beautiful cars you seem to be surrounded by. You could teach me a thing or two about paitence, because I can barely imagine the long hours you spend on your perfect work. You said in an earliar post you just wanted someone to teach your children english?

I can learn her some English just kidding bud.

Hearing about how your car has come together it makes me feel kinda small and pethetic . Where i live you see 260s and 280s all the time, but i have only seen one 240 and its mine:devious: . Im probly going to have on big colection of spare parts on wheels when i get done with it

Good luck with the rest of your work and good luck to your daughter. Learnig English is hard, I was born here in the states and still dont know no English .
