Restoration of BringaTrailer 240z - HLS30-35883
Well there you go I didn't scroll down at all, as it is with most FB ad's I see. There was a picture of the "trunk" but no door in there.

280ZX parts in Lynnwood WA
Pick N Pull won't sell the whole car unless they list it as a builder. They also only show this one picture of it in the processing yard. They get stripped fast. Funny they list the transmission as unknown, they can't tell a stick from an automatic? It should also have the desirable brake booster on that one as well.

I don't even see a drivers door in any of the pictures. 12/71 would be too late for your request.

Like I mentioned they do offer sales prices every now and then. It is currently closer to your Courtesy pricing. You really have to be diligent in your purchases.

Hoping for some help on an old topic - Combo Switch
I bought some broken switches off eBay a while back, for parts. Now I can't find them 🥵 One of the problems with hoarding parts I guess. I'll keep looking for it as it likely had some nubbins and springs. They are in one of the crates/boxes, I know I did not sell any of that stuff. I'll wait to offer them until I have them in my had, lol

I would venture to say all the full size spare tire tanks are the same, the 77-78 with the space saver spare is a completely different tank.

This dealership likes to offer sales of 10-18 percent off the 'green" price, so in-between sales they are high on some parts. The sale price seems more inline with the Courtesy pricing. I don't usually buy from Amazon. eBay can be hit or miss too. Sometimes you get great deals though. You have to watch it like a hawk, as there is a lot of competition.

Parts Wanted: Wanted: 280 wiper linkage (1977)
I have a use wiper transmission from a 78. It will need some clean up but the pivot turn. Just up the road in Washington.

Parts Wanted: Mounting bracket for NISMO electric fuel pump
I looked for mine today and found I have two different ones. I think the small one is off the 73 240Z and the big one is from a 74 260Z. Not as pretty as the new ones ^^^ but not as much either.

Indentifying Wiper Arms
Others will chime in on this as well. It is my understanding that the silver ones are the 240 style in what was known as the banjo wipers. With the two round arcs looking like banjo strings. The black set I think is the later 280 style and things were evolving through the years. I guess it would depend on how accurate you want the car to look for the year it is. I might still have some later styles one if you're interested. I have a bunch of the 240 style. On my older 240 style I just buy refills for the rubber blade part. not the whole assembly like the modern cars use. FWIW

Parts Wanted: Mounting bracket for NISMO electric fuel pump
I think I still have one from an early 260Z. I can check tomorrow and see if it is still in the hoard. It would likely have surface rust and need clean up as the car was out in the bushes for years.

D Washers for fenders
It did label it as Washer Plain, so i am not 100% sure. That bag shows a -4351A which might again be different than a -43510. I also don't see the -4351A as part of the superseded list. Which part number did you order from Nissan? -43610 (Zed's) or the -43510 (mine) or both?
-
D Washers for fenders
I was thinking number 71 in the diagram. That also calls for 8 each Superseded now see second pic. Still available from Nissan.
-
D Washers for fenders
They are the one that look like this. As you go down the bolt row on the fender under the hood section there are these D washers. The flat part is on the bottom and provides the depth needed so the washers don't stick up above the fenders. Note : Zedsaver shows them with the flat part up. I have always seen them with the flat part down. Now I am not sure of the orientation.

Parts Wanted: 1977-1978 Voltmeter
One NOS new one on eBay right now $580 (your pic I believe) There were only two in the sold section, a lot more of the Temp gauges. I was thinking around $150 I saw a decent one sold for $130 ish. and a rusted one for $60.
-
Parts Wanted: 1977-1978 Voltmeter
I have a volts/fuel gauge, I'm not 100% on what year but it looks the same as your picture. Small spot on 8V line I'll open it up if you're interested. Hard to get a clean pic of the face.

Mismatched calipers and rotors
Sounds like you sorted this out but it was my understanding that the +8 caliper was for the non vented stock rotor and the W was for the wider vented rotor. I have had mine on the non vented rotors for some years now and may recall incorrectly.

Rain drip trim clips 280z
I pulled the drip rails off a 78 and see the remains of 4 clips, one usable. Looks like they are prone to rusting out. The one did not want to come out either, I didn't want to cut the rail just for one clip.
-
Rain drip trim clips 280z
In my opinion, that pop out in the drawing is for the profile of the drip rail not the clips. I have a bundle of loose drip rails, and don't recall seeing any clips. I have some 280Z's that are still attached to the cars. I'll look at those.

240Z Bell Crank
$40 shipped for this one if you're interested.

240Z Bell Crank
That one looks like the bottom one in my pic.(off a 71). You see the top is flat across. There is a drop on the bottom The one in your original post was jogged upwards like the top one in my pic.

240Z Bell Crank
Interesting, I have 4 different ones, the other one is the short shaft. In looking them up online, the pages all say they fit 70-78 ?? Yours looks like the top one, and that one I found listed online as for a 280Z. The bottom one comes up as the early 70-71 style. I can't even find the middle one. Maybe a Roadster or something other than Z. I did not look too hard.
