Posted April 20, 201311 yr comment_421014 Each 240z fuel and brake line insulator was reproduced in a urethane plastic on a milling machine, which made for a very high quality master insulator. Each insulator is then cast in a two part high quality silicone mold. The insulators are cast in a urethane rubber with a shore hardness of 70A. The urethane has been degassed in a vacuum chamber, then cast and cured in a pressure pot for 24hrs. After curing for 24hrs the insulator have been heated to 150deg for 8 hrs for post-curing. It takes two day to make one complete set of insulators. 70-72 has 15 large insulators, 6 brake line insulators and 4 flow guide valve insulators. 73 have 14 large insulators, 6 brake line insulators and 4 flow guide valve insulators. Insulator sets are available in either the auto or manual transmission 240z. The price for a complete set of insulators is $150.00 plus $6 shipping inside the usa, on a limited few sets, then Zeddsaver.com will be selling the sets via the website at a higher price. Reproduced a steering rack expansion reservoir, in a beige color, for the 70 and early 71 240z with a 12mmx1.0 threads. This is a solid piece without a reservoir; this is for nostalgia look only. This was reproduced in a urethane resin that cures to a solid plastic with a shore hardness of 83D beige color. Make sure you have the 12mmx1.0 opening on your steering racks since later models either have a 10mmx1.0 or no hole. The Price is $14.00 plus $6 shipping inside the usa. thanks Steve Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/46317-240z-fuel-and-brake-line-insulator-sets-and-steering-rack-expansion-reservoir/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

July 6, 201311 yr Author comment_427053 Not sure how the emission controls affect or are related to the fuel line and return line insulators, if anyone could give any feedback or comment, that might help answer the question.Steve Hey Steve,Did you happen to make or can you make the line insulator sets for the early series one cars without the evaporative emissions controls?Thanks,Eric Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/46317-240z-fuel-and-brake-line-insulator-sets-and-steering-rack-expansion-reservoir/#findComment-427053 Share on other sites More sharing options...

July 9, 201311 yr comment_427227 I dug through my parts bins and found what's left of the old insulators from my early 70' series one car. They look the same as the rest of the years but only have three holes.

July 10, 201311 yr Author comment_427283 The Early 1970 3 holes insulators are now available to order as a complete set. These will be made to order and will take 1 week to produce.Remember these are cast insulators not hand cut and drilled insulators. thx Steve I dug through my parts bins and found what's left of the old insulators from my early 70' series one car.

July 14, 201311 yr Author comment_427614 other items for 240z I am working on. Each parts was milled out of Aluminum 6061, then cast into a two piece mold. Brake booster check valve rubber insulator. Rear Brake drum plug, this plug will need to be tested to see how it stands up to the drum heat. Rocker panel plug.

July 25, 201311 yr Author comment_428483 Another item reproduced, its the rear hatch stopper rubber insulator. This one was milled out of Delrin and cast into a 2 piece mold. This is the correct replacement for your old worn out rubber. It even has the two little side parts that are on the original ones. The new ones come in a cream color and these are the correct black color. These are not hand cut or drilled, these are from a two part mold just like all the other insulators. Sorry just the rubber not the metal stopper.
