I should clarify it is only the power antenna SWITCH; not the antenna itself. Sorry I do not have a power antenna for sale.

Except where noted, all are original parts off 1972 240Z and in very good working condition: - AM/FM radio, including power antenna switch and all wiring [$100] - Windshield wiper motor (inc wiring harness) [$50] - Windshield wiper frames [$10] - Rear cargo straps (black, torn and faded) & buckles [$10] - Complete smog pump assembly with check valves, hoses & clamps [$75] - Steering wheel and horn button (no cracks) [$100]

After further research, I'm now leaning toward Bridgstone Potenza S-03 over Michelin Pilot Sport. All others have fallen off the list. Any feedback out there on these two tires?

More data just for your reference. I redid my suspension/wheels about 10 yrs ago, going to the setup illustrated in my gallery at: <http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=2337&size=big&password=&sort=2&thecat=500>. These are 15x7, zero offset Panasport rims, with Good Year GS-C tires, 225/50x15. We trimmed out the fill rubber at the top of the shock towers to lower the profile without reducing suspension travel. I have Eibach progressive resistance springs with KYB gas shocks. The only mods were to roll the metal lip on the rear fenders to eliminate tire rub. But now I'm redoing it again. This time 16x8 Panasport C8's (4-3/4" backspace), and I'm considering Bridgestone Potenza S-03s size 245/45x16. New shocks and coilovers will take up less space on the inside thus the positive offset. Food for thought...

I'm looking for recommendations for the best ultra-performance tires folks have found out there. I have a 1972 240z with numerous performance upgrades, including 16x8 Panasport racing rims (4-3/4 backset). I'm looking at size 245/45ZR16. This is a weekend-only vehicle so these tires will be used exclusively in dry conditions as I will rarely if ever be driving the car in the rain or on wet roads. I'm strongly considering Michelin Pilot Sport, Dunlop SP Sport 9000, Bridgestone Potenza S-03, Goodyear Eagle F1, and Pirelli PZero. Thanks in advance for any ideas. J. Zorzy

I need some engine compartment parts for a restoration, so they should be in top condition. Here is a detailed description of what I need: 3 rubber clamps that wrap around clusters of brake piping on the firewall - one has 4 holes in it, is slightly curved, and mounts on the back-center of the engine compartment, just above the transmission. It holds 3 brake pipes and a fuel line I think. The second rubber clamp has 3 holes for brake piping and mounts just to the left (toward the battery) of the first clamp. I'm not sure about the location of the third clamp (my mechanic disassembled them), but I believe it also has 4 holes. Again, they all hold piping and are themselves held in place by flat steel clamps and screws. See picture of old ones attached.

I need to replace my alternator. I have a 1972 240z built 6/72. According to my ZCD, the correct part number should be 23100-P0102(R - all now are rebuilt), which indicates a 12V-50A Hitachi LT150-05B. However, Courtesy Nissan shipped me a P0103R (Hitachi LT150-10R). To further confuse things, I am told the part number I should look for is 23100-U5800R or -H6206R. Exactly which is correct??!

p.s. I paid $26 in 4/99 for a new one.
