Are the nuts (rivnuts?) on a metal or fiberglass headlight case?
-
Nice job with the rivnuts. My '71 has the original fiberglass sugar scoop headlight surrounds and my covers came without the mounting hardware. So, they've been in the box for way too many years waiting for me to create my own mounting hardware. I do have a spare set of fiberglass scoops to practice on when the time comes. But, I anticipate the same issues you experienced with getting a tight fit on the chrome trim.
-
Interesting question. I recently had my '71 rear bumper off to replace the rubber trim and didn't notice a tall and short leg when I reinstalled the brackets after I painted them. I wonder which way they went on. May have to look at them again.

Actually, you can modify them yourself. Step 1: Remove from wrapper. Step 2: Insert in mouth. Step 3: Remove from mouth when desired reduced size is achieved.. Warning: Leaving in mouth too long will make them disappear. 😎

Totally agree. However, he wasn't getting the kind of help he needs from the responses.- 26 replies

It was probably beyond time to pull the plug. We weren't making things better for the OP in many ways.

Cliff, it looks like winter at your house. It's currently 87º here today with a wind chill of 89. While you're watching the game today, pay attention to the BMW commercial that will play during the first quarter. It stars Arnold Schwarzenegger as Zeus and Salma Hayek as his wife. The golf course scene was filmed in my neighborhood. :

After 50 years, most of them in the desert sun, the interior rear view mirror plastic casing holding the mirror glass on my '71 240Z crumbled. Anyone have a spare interior mirror in reasonable condition? I tried placing a "Wanted" ad in the Parts Wanted section, but for some reason, it wouldn't post. Doesn't seem to be my day.

I recently changed the tires on my seldom driven Porsche. They had been on the car since 1987. Yes, 35 years on a set of Pirellis. Tread was like new. One had severe dry rot. The 10 year interval Steve noted sounds like a good idea unless dry rot is noted sooner.

Can't rule out what you watch on YouTube. Watch a video on how to change the wiper blades on your Subaru and you'll start getting ads for Subaru products. Fun Fact for Wednesday: Google owns YouTube and it's based in the huge hanger where Howard Hughes stored the Spruce Goose for decades.

Everyone who posts pieces of their life on Linked-In, Facebook, this site, and anywhere else on the internet leaves a trail of breadcrumbs to their home address, phone number, family members, shopping preferences, and more. It's not too difficult to find information on just about anyone. There aren't too many places to hide any more.

Google stock just jumped $245 a share in after hours trading. Great Q4 based on ad revenue.

Like it, or not, it's the world we live in. There's a lot to be said for having only a land line phone and staying home. 😎

My son is a computer engineer employed by Google. Fun company when you get a glimpse behind the curtain.

I use a Google brand Android phone on T-Mobile's system. T-Mobile has a built in spam blocker so all I see is a screen that says "Scam Likely". I've never had a SPAM call get through on my cell phone but get plenty on my land line.

1975 280Z catalytic converter heat shield ?
psdenno replied to Killain's topic in Engine & Drivetrain
Very nice looking Z. If it was always in Michigan, it must have spent winters off the road and in a garage. -
My 4/1971 Z has the bottom style.
-
Less ethical would be my guess. As sellers, they must have had some success catching a buyer who doesn't do due diligence when searching for parts and price comparing. Either that or they don't really want to part with the parts. Experience tells me they just want to catch the random uninformed buyer and don't care about establishing an ongoing vendor/customer relationship.

Is a L28 Internal or External balanced? new flywheel?
psdenno replied to dutchzcarguy's topic in Engine & Drivetrain
They mentioned that some male reproductive organs don't show externally and they want to avoid any future misunderstanding. Personally, I think a Milk Bone Biscuit tattoo would be more appropriate than the straight line. -

Cliff, here's a dog tattoo video for your viewing pleasure. https://www.aspcapro.org/resource/video-spayneuter-tattoo-application -
Rough when you have a job that you can't do from home when you have to quarantine and feel well enough to get on with life.

how to protect fenders when working in the engine compartment
psdenno replied to z8987's topic in Engine & Drivetrain
I use a Studebaker mechanic's fender protector that I've had for decades. You can get a Summit Racing one here: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-3619?seid=srese1&gclid=CjwKCAiA0KmPBhBqEiwAJqKK4_3wvyOTSMops8wieCQvdKZVA8EBRKX_WeZ4JRrt1wVBMQJZr_rWBBoCu-8QAvD_BwE -
Just be sure to wear your tin foil hat when you Google the terms and you'll be fine. 😎

Baking soda and water will neutralize the acid. Sand and repaint the rusted area and you're good for another 52 years.

If you look, again, at Charles' post you'll see that he didn't ask how much the Z cost, only a "Ballpark" number which could be something nonspecific like more than $20K and less than $50K without giving away too much detail. I also understand folks being touchy about what they pay for things. Play nice, move on.
