That's what the "full warm" and "full cold" marks are for- to see if it's working right. You might be right about the failing cap.

My friend in Tampa (keys) got married last summer. Dress code was Hawaiian shirt, shorts, sandals, swimsuit under the shorts. Wedding cake came in a glass and consisted of rum, & fruit!

I think there are some holes on the pass. side, front of the radiator support, to mount the tank. I wouldn't want it on the driver's side, either. The air cleaner is there & I wouldn't want to suck in any coolant. See attaced pic.

I ordered mine from VB; $50 ea. I suppose you could go to the JY and measure the length of car doors, like the older GM sportscars, and assuming the squee-gees are the same profile, order for that model & put them on your Z. i.e. , the PROFILE is the most important, but you might get away with splicing the length. Best to get a one piece unit that does the whole job, of course.

when I move the leater control lever, it doesn't 'click' into the different positions. I think there's a spring-loaded ball that is supposed to click into some detents in the control frame, right? Mine must be missing. Can you get those & put them in, or do you have to get the whole control system? Maybe bodge a spring-thing in there? thx

I had to get an aftermarket one, because I didn't see the bracket for t he old one. I hate it when they drill holes for those cheap screws! I can hear the rust already forming in those holes

OHIO! "Best location in the nation". "Gateway to the West" "Rock N Roll Capitol of the World" "The Northcoast of the U.S.A." i.e.: the most techologically-advanced and forgotten city in the U.S.A. Not to mention where I live.

I'm waiting for somewbody to make a suggestion for a 280ZX, 300ZX, or *gag* a 350Z...

Mine has some kind of leak at the right bottom corner ofthe gl;arse on the seal-inner edge. I tried to seal it with some silicone, but I don'y think I got it all. Bofy shop guy says I should remove the glass & replace the seal. I think After using the hose treatment, I'll apply a little more silicone, and leave the new seal for later. cheers, or as we say inC-Town, "Yo Baby, Yo Baby, Yo!"

Those chin spoilers scare me. I keep thinking of every time I come out of a gas station or restaurant parking lot, then DOWN the aprom to the street, then ssccccrrrrraappinnngggg the spoiler on the pavement.

Seal go betwen two fixed pieces, like windsheild & frame, 1/4 window & frame, fender & body. weatherstrips go betweeen moveable parts like doors & body, side window & frame.

I just got mine yoday. I still think we need to find the correct replacement rubber. If you are restoring your car, you might not want a replacement that looks out of place by being in better condition than the rest of the car. Too much new stuff would spoil the restoration.

Since those things will eventualy fail, from heat , humidity & time, they will need to be replaced. I would think that it -might- have a deterimental effect if connected to certain circuits.

Is there a contemporary equivalent? Since you can't really test them, it might just be easier to replace. I would bet those old wires are "noisy."

You could just solder the fuel door closed and add on a flip-type cap. I like the ones from Triumph. TR 6.

Isn't that what I was just saying?

Since the speedo and tacho come out the front, you need to make surwethe dash cap doesn't go too far into the holes so you can't get the speedo or tacho out. Otherwise you'll have to cut the face of the dash cap to get those out. Either cut the dash cap in those places or get one that is the right size in the first place. It might cost you a few extra $$$.

We still need to figure out what rubber piece will replace the original one. If I ever need to do it again, I would rather just replace the rubber. We need he exact part & #, not just "something similar, from the auto parts store." Or, if somebody knows already, I might send back the new mouldings I just ordered. and save $$$$

how about a set of aluminum window squeegees? Mine are so hard they tink and chip/crack like metal when you tap them.

I might just cut up the carpet, but I'm NOT going to replace the quarter windows with those tacky diamond ones!!!

Is it permanent? Too many loose things on mine...

What kind of stuff can you do to the dash cap to reduce glare and reflections off the windsheild? Since you can't get mouse-fur, some kind of cover, like orange shag? thx

Sears makes a socket set "Bolt-Out" that has (spiral) teeth on them so you can grab onto rounded/stripped nuts THAT's what you need to do the job right!

Do they have anything to put on top of the dash to reduce reflections? thx

All the relays & stuff on the stock electrical system are there for safety, federal compliance (emmisions?) and whatever convenience features. Obviously, you can simplify things down to just a few circuits( maybe even one circuit), but you lose some functionality. Up to you.
