Posted August 1, 20213 yr comment_626127 I'm trying to reassemble my doors, and I can't find the hardware that attaches the door lock bell crank to the door metal. A diagram from carpartsmanual.com shows this: ...but I can't find anything resembling 13, 14, or 15 in the parts I removed. I'm also confused by the fact that the diagram calls out qty 4 for the collar (13). Were two collars used, with one on each side of the bell crank? Does anybody know if this collar is metal, or nylon? Of course I can't find any reproduction parts, and I fear that a homemade solution will provide sloppy performance. So, does this diagram look correct? Thanks guys... Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/65667-missing-door-lock-bell-crank-hardware/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
August 1, 20213 yr comment_626142 Here's a photo of the 240Z version of #13. I don't know why the parts catalog says you need 4. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/65667-missing-door-lock-bell-crank-hardware/#findComment-626142 Share on other sites More sharing options...

August 1, 20213 yr comment_626147 The bolt is unique too, I believe. I think it is a shoulder bolt Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/65667-missing-door-lock-bell-crank-hardware/#findComment-626147 Share on other sites More sharing options...
August 2, 20213 yr comment_626165 All responses are correct. Only 2 required for both doors. But they were made in metal or in plastic and changed in size depending on early or late production . The bushing diameters changed according to the hole size in the linkage pivot point. It is a special shoulder bolt. This is another sub-assembly part you do NOT want lost or damaged. @Roberts280Z If you are missing these parts a call for HELP! to @zKars the supreme hoarder of all Z bits and pieces, or to @Captain Obvious the superb machinist and doer of all things Z may be your only hope!!

August 2, 20213 yr Author comment_626172 I looked again, and still could not find the parts. I'm not giving up quite yet. I don't throw anything away, although I do lose things a lot!

August 2, 20213 yr comment_626205 I seem to have one of each type. Small type uses a simple bolt, larger type uses a shoulder bolt. Both are M6 Now you’re going to make me measure everything, aren’t you? PS. The bottom row larger style would have the same flat/lock/nut as shown in the top set I’ve certainly found all manner of “user selected” hardware that more or less functions as a rotation point. Not all that critical as long as there is little slop and pivots freely. And will continue to do that for a long time.
