February 20, 201312 yr comment_415604 Sorry Fixitman. I plan to keep this toolset with the car. I didn't intend to mislead you with it. I just wanted to show how an original set (at least for a 1970) looks and confirm that the wheel chocks are solid.

February 20, 201312 yr Author comment_415617 Sorry Fixitman. I plan to keep this toolset with the car. I didn't intend to mislead you with it. I just wanted to show how an original set (at least for a 1970) looks and confirm that the wheel chocks are solid.I wasn't hopeful that you would sell it, but I thought I'd ask! New is the quality level I'd like to find.Thanks anyway.

February 20, 201312 yr comment_415619 Another option would be Craigslist. Go to Onecraigs - Search all of Craigslist nationwide and search for 240z tool or tool kit, spare kit, or whatever. You would be surprised how many people around the country are parting these cars out at any given time. I have bought several items from guys out of state and as long as I paid the shipping they would ship me the parts. Worth and try and costs $0.

February 21, 201312 yr comment_415657 I haven't had any luck finding a Z tool set in good to excellent condition. I need a lug wrench, jack handle and rod, tire stoppers, tool bag and lug nuts. Was this set used in any other Datsun of the era?Thanks,FixitmanI believe that I have a good tool complete tool set. I will check if you are interested. As for the lug nuts they can still be purchased from Courtesy Nissan in TX.LMK Jerry Purcell Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/45763-z-tool-set/?&page=2#findComment-415657 Share on other sites More sharing options...

February 21, 201312 yr comment_415724 How would you guys feel about the tools if they were powder-coated or chromed? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/45763-z-tool-set/?&page=2#findComment-415724 Share on other sites More sharing options...
February 21, 201312 yr comment_415727 How would you guys feel about the tools if they were powder-coated or chromed?Personally I am very much NOT a purist, but it was still really cool to keep the OEM toolkit. An aftermarket one just wouldnt be the same Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/45763-z-tool-set/?&page=2#findComment-415727 Share on other sites More sharing options...
February 21, 201312 yr comment_415732 NOT aftermarket tools.What I mean is that you could clean up and powdercoat these OEM tools, or even get them plated.

February 23, 201312 yr comment_415900 OK, since there is not much (or any) negativity about refinishing a set of rusty tools, I think I'll look into getting them coated or plated. Maybe I'll go through my box of leather renants and make up a spiffy bag or roll to keep it in.

February 24, 201312 yr comment_415973 About those tool kits... I viewed a few on eBay, and besides the regular parts, I saw a couple red tube things. They rethe same color as the drive handle for the hack. Are those supposed to be extensions?
