December 29, 200717 yr comment_232337 Sweet, You ROCK Will!! I'll take 6 terminal boots for the fusable links on the starter and Alternator. I need to redo mine and 2 of "ZUP"s engine harness's that I'm rebuilding for him.And I'd also like to start making "TRUE" early 240Z Fusable links, with the male 10mm terminal (that seems to be like "Mission Impossible" to find) and the clear boot over it.Thanks again Will,Dave.

December 29, 200717 yr comment_232378 Will:I thought of something last night that could well make you a fortune!!!!There is one item on every 1977 and 1978 Z that universally broke. I would love to send you one, but I have never seen one. I bought a 1978 in 1979 and it was missing. My son bought a 1977 in 2006 and it was missing, I have been looking for a replacements daily on ebay everyday since and have never seen one --- guess what it is???? the plastic mirror cover that goes on the passenger side sunvisor. If you can find one to reproduce and actually make it, then every 1977 and 1978 Z owner in the world would buy one. But finding one would be the trick. They would have come in different colors too. BUT THIS IS AN ITEM YOU COULD SELL ---- HUGE!!!!!

December 29, 200717 yr Author comment_232381 Jim,I'll look into that-I may even have a spare to work from-I have been saving S30 parts for years, and it seems to me I have one I intended to work into my 240...I planned to give it all of the upgrades Datsun made to the S30 family that would fit!Will Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/26529-the-making-of-reproduction-parts/?&page=4#findComment-232381 Share on other sites More sharing options...
December 31, 200717 yr comment_232485 Will, after the Honda wiper upgrade info and the plugs that are for sale, what would you say to the rubber that is under the wiper arm?

December 31, 200717 yr comment_232488 There is nothing wrong with the mirror on the visor in my 78 280Z or in my 79 810. That's the first time I've ever heard of those being a common problem.

December 31, 200717 yr comment_232497 I don't think its going to be a big requested part but it will come in handy. when doing the upgrade.

December 31, 200717 yr comment_232499 Will, after the Honda wiper upgrade info and the plugs that are for sale, what would you say to the rubber that is under the wiper arm?DO you mean the wiper shaft boot? Or something different? Because the wiper shaft boots are already being repro'd. Sold by MSA and may others on eBay.http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/SWR01B/34-1206But if you mean something different, please explain.
