I ordered a selection of seals, lenses, and more and found that most of the items in my basket were on back order when I went to checkout. Before checking out, I called to confirm that backordered items would never be filled and was told that was the case. If it says backorder, they are out of stock and will never have any more. I deleted the backorder items from the basket and completed the order for the remaining in stock items. Not much left, but good prices. There must have been a rush of orders that will resell later on eBay. Dennis

The five blade flex fan I had on my 240Z for many years made significantly more noise than the stock fan and clutch set up. Coincidently, I went with the flex fan when my stock fan/clutch launched through the radiator because it was a less costly alternative. I was in my cheap fix phase at the time. I currently have a plastic fan and clutch back on and prefer it. Dennis

I used a flex fan for decades after my original fan took out my radiator when the water pump broke. The style I used was more like the wide vane five blade unit in your pictures. It was a little loud, but threw a lot of air. I changed back to a stock plastic fan with clutch a few years ago when I upgraded my AC and added electric fans. Dennis

And with the right coupons from their ad flyer, you'll get 20% off the regular price and your choice of either a seven function multi-meter or a free Flux Capacitor. Dennis

And don't forget to mention the gold chain necklace and ginormous glasses. We were all stylin' in the '70s. Eat your hearts out, Millennials! Dennis

I think I may have posted this picture in another thread topic. but this seems like a good place to do it again. Northern Wisconsin, November 1971. I bought the Z after seeing one on display in Tokyo on my way home from living out of the country for about a year and a half. I still have the Z and the white leather sheepskin lined jacket from India. But, not the cashmere turtleneck sweater from Hong Kong or nearly as much hair. Gotta love 1971. Dennis

I bought my flares from MSA about 10 years ago and they fit fine. I totally understand degraded fit after making copies of copies over the years - kind of like a bad 12th generation Xerox. I've read several posts from owners had had dismal flare copies from various suppliers. I guess I was lucky. For me, the hard part of fitting the flares was setting them at the right, front to rear, height after looking at lots of pictures of flares on Zs. Too much fun, but I really like the look and always have since seeing a new Z on display in Tokyo in 1971. Dennis

I used the flares sold by Motorsports Auto. Quality and fit are good. As for "easy to install", that's subjective. You'll need to source mounting hardware, figure out correct placement on each fender, decide if you'll cut your wheel well openings or leave untouched, and drill holes in your fenders. I'm sure there will be opinions on other sources, too. Read up on install procedures in the archive. Dennis

Mike, did you post that picture on porpoise? I think our time would be better spent discussing all the fuss I hear about flea elections in China. Dennis

Busting school children, youth in Asia, too much violins, and to top it off, what’s all this fuss I’ve been hearing about the presidential erection? How much longer can this go on? Dennis

Nice job! Hopefully the title/cash transfer goes smoothly. That's always the scary part when I've sold to a private party. Dennis
-
Looks homemade to me. Not at all like what came in my 4/71 built Z. Dennis
-
And as if that's not bad enough, the Supreme Court is going to make a decision on youth in Asia! Can't they just leave people alone? Dennis

Not what I would consider to be "Bullet" mirrors. But they are mirrors and it is Craigslist. Dennis

The buyer fee is usually 10% of the sale price. Dennis

Reproducing HeadLight Covers input needed from the community
psdenno replied to Metalman5151's topic in Open Discussions
For anyone interested in reading a little more about the varieties of headlight covers and trim rings, check this link: There are several more threads in the archive that mention many earlier tries at replicating the rings and covers. Lots of good intentions. But, so far, no results. It's a complicated process. Good luck to anyone who can make it happen. Dennis -
Wow! That restores my faith in humanity.....for a while, at least. Sound like you found the right guy for the job. Dennis
-
Are they taking any responsibility for your labor costs? Sorry to hear about the difficulty. Dennis
-
OK, single large center hole opening is different than on mine. I didn't know they used the vertical rocker antenna switch on later cars. Learned something new! Dennis
-
Wrong shape? Looks real close to how the one on my '71 is shaped, including the cut out for antenna switch. Wrong size? Dennis

I suppose we'd need a BIFF and a SOCK, too. Many good fight scenes on YouTube. Dennis

And if you ever have a chance to write a script for a revival of the 1960s Batman TV show.....!!!! Dennis

The only way to determine if it's good enough...... is to try it. Let us know how it works out for you. Dennis
