In the end I think it was Tapatalk that was having the problem. The posts look fine on my home computer. I use Tapatalk almost exclusively for the forum these days.

Captain Obvious Posted January 9, 2018 Share #1803 Posted January 9, 2018 That's why I'm still using a desktop. Only issue is when I travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheee! Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share #1804 Posted January 9, 2018 So Techno Toy Tuning express shipped out the custom spacers to fit their hubs on 280Z’s! Very cool. I will need to get longer bolts though. I’m 10mm short on grip here. Not good enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheee! Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share #1805 Posted January 10, 2018 Fixed! Sourced some 10.9 40mm bolts. This should hold... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheee! Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share #1808 Posted January 12, 2018 Spent some time working on the steering rack tonight. Sandblasted the exterior and cut off the seized tie rod ends. Next up is disassembly and internal cleaning followed by powder coating and refurbishing. Red, chrome or black? Hmmmmm..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Maras Posted January 12, 2018 Share #1809 Posted January 12, 2018 I vote for black. I like the red bits that you have but too much would make it look like a Circus Wagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheee! Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share #1810 Posted January 12, 2018 The outer tie rods are already anodized red, the crossmember is already black... maybe a chrome powder coat with the black boots going into the red outers? The bushings are red too so a red rack is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwri8 Posted January 12, 2018 Share #1811 Posted January 12, 2018 +1 on the Black. Just a little bit of Red goes a long way visually as well as any chrome(ish) parts against a Green background. And don't forget whatever color your block is going to be. That's where most of the attention is going to be. Just my two cents only, your opinion counts the most since you will be the one showing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheee! Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share #1812 Posted January 12, 2018 The block will be black. That’s part of the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
