Radio for 1972 240Z
Trapezoid is the correct shape. The one I see on Ebay appears to have an AM/FM dial and the later style opening for the antenna control switch on the upper right. Early faceplates had a vertical rocker switch instead of the smaller horizontal switch opening as seen in the item shown. Dennis

Autocross Chest Strap
Consider using adhesive backed Velcro strips on the cloth seat back and belt. Fairly easy to remove when not needed and the Velcro should hold the belt tight. Dennis

Right to drive article
Progress. You can either fight it or sit back and enjoy it. Big changes are coming in personal transportation, just as they did about 120 years ago when automobiles began to replace horses. I can imagine my great-great-grandfather Chapman, a Civil War veteran, saying something like, "Automobiles, they'll never catch on, who needs them? I'll keep my horses and when I need a new one, I'll breed one. You can't breed automobiles!" Fortunately, horses are still around to enjoy. Just like our manually operated and maintained Zs will be in 50-100 years. Like it or not, we're all going to live in the future. Dennis

Let's show vintage racing pictures. I'll start.
Because I know Conedodger likes Datsun Zs and Porsche 914s as much as I do, here's a racing picture that includes the two. The picture is part of a series by Michael Keyser who has listed automotive photographer among his other autosports interests and activities for quite some time. I have a batch of them on my office walls. Check them out at: https://www.autosportsltd.com/quick-list/ Dennis

Well, let us know how it all goes after they're installed. Certainly a very low price considering shipping was included. Dennis

More importantly, what do YOU think? Let us know how easy to install, comfort level, support, adjustability, and build quality. They look interesting and the price is certainly less than the Recaros I bought on Ebay. Dennis

HLS30-00006 at the Crusher?
Nissan got a lot of use from the picture of the red Z. I think this non-factory banner is based on a dealership brochure/hand out. To those with a better Hoover, please correct me if I'm in error. Dennis

240Z vs. Ferrari
The cool thing about any exotic car with a manual transmission is that you eliminate a lot of younger car thieves who only know how to shift an automatic. All is good unless they bring a trailer. Dennis

240Z vs. Ferrari
And, with the Z, you don't need a factory trained mechanic on retainer for most maintenance and repairs. Dennis
