ZSaint Posted May 27, 2006 Share #13 Posted May 27, 2006 Thanks for the nice comment. A friend hooked up the E-brake on my Z in Bremerton. (What a job to hook up 'Vette calipers to Datsun cables) I drove it in the rain for 4 hours. Then after being there for 3 days it rained all the way back to Salem. This pic was taken with the car very dirty. Now it is really filthy, under and over. I just bought a power washer to take care of the bottomside. What we do for a clean car!I agree with the premise that dark cars look better with a polished lip. I think white, yellow, silver look good with black wheels.

bpilati Posted May 28, 2006 Share #14 Posted May 28, 2006 MSA isn't selling the Panasport gunmetal with polished lip anymore. So I'm going with Konig Rewinds (gunmetal with polished lip and inner ring). They fit my budget better and I've been assured of their quality. Bridgestone or Kuhmo tires.

The 240Z bearing cap sticks out too far for the short Konig caps. I think they'll work on 280Z hubs, which will fit on a 240Z if you change to the 280Z rotor as well.

The rep replied that while they only sold the metal poished ones, they could get them coated (gunmetal et al.) for an extra fee and some extra time to get it done. Don't know if it would be cheaper to have them powdercoated where you are or have MSA get it done, but from my conversation with them recently it sounds like they can do it if you're willing to pay...

Ron Carter Posted May 28, 2006 Share #17 Posted May 28, 2006 Panasports are available in gunmetal, I guess that MSA is not offering them anymore. You can order them thru Les Cannaday at Classic Datsun760-940-6365.I ordered and received a set from Les for my 510 project.R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
