kutukutu1 Posted January 19, 2020 Share #1 Posted January 19, 2020 Hello everyone, someone on reddit was looking for a model for the fuse box cover of the 280z. I made the model for them and also printed one for myself and it works great. I make parts for first gen rx7 like headlight bushings, wiper bushings and door pull cups and was wondering if there was any interest in me making these parts for the z community. I am also able to make the rubber top hat for the rear springs but don’t know if the community actually would purchase them or just switch to coilovers. Give me some feedback and your thoughts on this. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhp123166 Posted January 19, 2020 Share #2 Posted January 19, 2020 How about some pictures of your work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kutukutu1 Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) Here you go. 2 of the cover, the second to last one is one of the wiper bushings for the FC rx7, last one if a printed shift knob for my 280. On the cover I still want to do a few more refinements and make a stamp to put in the writing on the front, but did not want to spend the resources if there was no interest from the community; which is why I am asking for the feedback. with the printer I can also put in the writing permanently as part of the print and it can’t ever be erased or fade away, but don’t know if the community would like it since it won’t look as original. Example, the last picture of a shift knob I made for my Z with the sunk lettering. Let me know. thanks.

Mark Maras Posted January 19, 2020 Share #4 Posted January 19, 2020 The folks on the RX7 forums will be interested in the headlight bushings. I bought a set in New Zealand a few years back. They're not easy to find and are very much in demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks yeah, i already provide the headlight and wiper bushings for the FB community for the past 5 years or so. All the parts i currently make are for RX7's. I got a Z 2 years back and looking to make some parts for it as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the engraved look on the shift knob, but you will probably see more sales of the fuse cover if it has a decal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the feedback. Will look into cost of a decal or silk screening style stamping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Obvious Posted January 24, 2020 Share #10 Posted January 24, 2020 One of the complications about any sort of fuse identification is that there are differences between years. It's not one size fits all for everything from 74-78. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would technically only be for 77 to 78, unless I can get my hands on earlier years to take measurements, it would only be for 77 to 78 at the moment. Let me know if my assumptions are incorrect. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Obvious Posted January 25, 2020 Share #12 Posted January 25, 2020 I didn't dig deep, but I believe there are four different covers. 74, 75, 76, and 77-78. At least that's how it appears according to the pics in the FSM's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
