Mike,

You can count on me for a good half dozen. I wasn't sure if you could modify a hood prop clip to fit the spot. Be sure to make a bunch.

Here are some pictures of the white clip on #237. The red color you see mixed in the white won't be in the final versions.

The clips are basically hand made, not an automated process that can crank out a large volume very quickly, so it will take some time to make them. It should be about a month for the initial batch, and I can order more later if needed. Only the earliest 1969/1970 Z cars need these, so the market for them is pretty small and I don't want to make and lot and then wind up with a bunch of extras. I am planning on selling a set of 2 clips for $20. That may sound like a lot, but I had to pay to have a mold made and then a per unit cost for each clip. I think shipping in the US should be $4 or less. d240zx2, kats, bobc, and cbudvet PM me if you are still interested based on that price, or if you want less.

Mike,

Do you have any more clips available?

Thanks,

Keith

Hello,

Early topics we have not seen here recently, have we?

Some of you may know this,differences of the early inspection lid.

I think there are 4 steps of the inspection lid(Early which have a plastic clip for retaining).

#1 The bigining(maybe prototype) do not have a L-shape tab which

is touched by the hood .Just have a rubber.

See the picture of the yellow Z.I believe this Z432 is PS30-00013.

You will notice there is no hood bumper,

also the bracket of the master vac hose is different.

#2 The second one has a L-shape tab but it is rivetted.

See the picture of the blue Z,this is HLS30-00476 11/1969

#3 The third one looks same which we usualy have seen.

But the L-shape tab,this separate piece is welded to the lid.

See the picture of the silver Z,this is PS30-00088 01/1970

#4 The fourth one is very common for us,this one piece (L-shape tab and lid together) finish is continued to the later production.

See the picture of the blue(clean) this is HLS30-02156 03/1970

Thank you,

kats

That is the 4th type - pretty rare to have a NOS set.

HLS30 -01704 has the 4th type, but I have only one clip and it's broken. Any chance of more being made?

HLS30-00110 (12-69) has the rivited tabs. One clip is missing , the other is half there. I would be up for a set.

Do you have pictures or description of the different types posted anywhere? I just might learn something here. 4 types?

That's exactly what Kats goes over in the first post.

Yea, but that was two years ago! :stupid:

Just seeing this thread again, after it was re-linked to.

The original post has the images in PDF files which are hard to see at a glance.

RE: Attached is screenshots of all 4 types. I hope @kats doesn't mind me repeating it here, but this makes it easier for me to see each type.

Type 1, 432 prototype:

#1 The beginning(maybe prototype) do not have a L-shape tab which

is touched by the hood .Just have a rubber.

See the picture of the yellow Z.I believe this Z432 is PS30-00013.
