heyitsrama Posted February 2, 2017 Share #37 Posted February 2, 2017 I don't mean to thread hijack, but when addressing bushings on the car, would it be better to approach them all together? Or rather in front/rear/subsystem sets? Does it depend on on bushing compound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlenownnab Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share #38 Posted February 2, 2017 Captain, Like my first post says, I am definatley not a mechanic.Sounds like you went deep into brake booster surgery. I cleaned it good and sanded and painted it. It was working good when I last drove the car and I never noticed any spots on concrete. I;m thinking worst case I will have to replace/rebuild if it leaks after back on the road. I could see the headache of jacking with it and got lazy. Rama, I like to buy the whole kit and do it all at once while I have the mess going and am set up for the project... Media blast, paint crap, etc... I have the kit in my 70 and know what to expect ride wise. It stiffens the ride but I don;t think it makes it untollerable. With the new struts, Springs, and NEW TIRES the car feels good.

jlenownnab Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share #39 Posted February 5, 2017 Had a good couple of days at the shop, starting to put a few things together. The non oem motor mounts on Ebay needed the rubber trimmed on each side to fit together properly. Still need the right steering rack bushings, everything else seems to be good, for now.

Patcon Posted February 6, 2017 Share #40 Posted February 6, 2017 Do you have a link to the stock mustache bar bushings at MSA or what page you saw it on? I am unable to find it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patcon Posted February 6, 2017 Share #41 Posted February 6, 2017 Found it http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/classic22d06/10-2261 I wonder if they are repopping them? They were unobtainium for a while.. Can somebody bump one of the Z store guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlenownnab Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share #42 Posted February 6, 2017 They are on back order but should be arriving any day now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patcon Posted February 6, 2017 Share #43 Posted February 6, 2017 1 hour ago, jlenownnab said: They are on back order but should be arriving any day now So I assume you have spoken to MSA on this? I assume these are newly sourced not NOS parts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlenownnab Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share #44 Posted February 6, 2017 James from MSA told me he is getting them from Nissan, oem. I figured for sure they were after market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patcon Posted February 6, 2017 Share #45 Posted February 6, 2017 That's interesting I tried to order some from just about every vendor six months to a year ago and all replied NLA. I ended up sourcing some out of Japan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlenownnab Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share #46 Posted February 7, 2017 I was surprised. I was already looking for an r200 mustache bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Obvious Posted February 7, 2017 Share #47 Posted February 7, 2017 Charles, I was hoping you would see this thread. I remember you were having troubles finding those things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Abate Posted February 10, 2017 Share #48 Posted February 10, 2017 Subscribed! I'll be doing this in the summer, so I'll consider this the instructions.Regarding powder coat vs pain, I've been advised equally on both. I'm leaning toward epoxy paint because it is repairable whereas powder coat can't be patched if it gets chipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
