June 5, 201410 yr comment_449261 I bought a brush on electrical tape from Harbor Freight and it works well. Used it in the engine compartment a couple years ago and it still looks good.

June 5, 201410 yr comment_449290 You can also use electrical shrink tubing, heat it up and it shrinks right down to look original. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/49193-my-datsun-280z-rustoration/?&page=8#findComment-449290 Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are brush on liquid tape products too. They may be good for touch ups or when you don't want to spray:https://www.google.ca/search?q=liquid+tape&espv=2&es_sm=122&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=flKQU7HzD8Pf8gGH-oD4Bg&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAQ&biw=1137&bih=570&sei=5lKQU_WGE8Tc8AGR14GwDw&gbv=23M even make one.Good to know. I will need some for a few touch ups.

June 7, 201410 yr Author comment_449426 Just waiting for my Tokico HP rear struts to get here. They're on backorder. From what I have read the rears (HZ3013) are the same strut as the fronts just with a spacer to place underneath. So could I order another set of fronts and make my own spacer?

From what I have read the rears (HZ3013) are the same strut as the fronts just with a spacer to place underneath. So could I order another set of fronts and make my own spacer?That sounds correct. When I ordered my Tokico HP's only the rear where available. So I ordered 4 rears and knocked the spacers off for the 2 front.

So I ordered 4 rears and knocked the spacers off for the 2 front.Cool, thanks. Do you remember what the spacer looked like? Is it just steel tubing?
