If the genuine leather ones they do look as good as that I will be very happy

Thanks for the replies fellas, when either of you who have bought them get the chance take some pictures for me and let me know how well you got on once fitted that would be great. Hardway, I am tempted now to order the cheaper synthetic covers from your description

I like the bumperless rear end, but am planning on making mine which is the 1st picture more like the standard more curved back end like the 2nd image this winter, still bumperless though.

I know there are quite a few threads on this subject already, so apologies for that, but has anyone any experience of these replacement seat cover kits currently on Ebay? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170861451633?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 They look a better finish than the MSA kits, which dont get the best reviews, but I would like to know from someone who has used them before I am pressing the Buy it now button, thanks.

Thanks Northernz, I wonder who is selling that then?? Here's a few pictures of mine taken last summer (raining as always in the UK at summertime) Cheers, JK

Any thing new on the irony front Rahail...I am still intrigued...

Which car have you seen for sale? Can you scan a copy of the advert for us over here in the UK. I have a 260Z Sam and am always interested in hearing about them.

Ooh How intriguing....

I totally understand that Rahail, the UK club forum is very insular and cliquey at times. Such a shame for such a small number of vehicles. I have that mag, and have met up with Glyn on a couple of occasions, and that spoiler was a shocker wasn't it... Also, almost as ironically, I nearly bought your old white car before I bought the Sam, the fact the chap who owned yours had put old style 260Z wheels on it put me off as well as ythe fact he was not for negotiating on price and then the Sam thing just got the better of me and I bought it for less than he wanted for yours, which judging on the way Samuri prices have gone over the last few years thanks to JD Classics it was a good move... There are plenty of NW meets this year so It would be good to see you at one of them, The LakeZ at the end of June should be a good weekend again, it was last year. Anyway, if you decide to have a garage sale of unwanted rarities, let me know and I'll be straight over, good luck with both projects and definitely keep the updates coming. JK

Hi Rahail, Just come across this thread, what fantastic reading and an incredible collection of such rare parts. Where are you now with regards to the build, did you use the gearbox, are we likely to see the car on the road soon? How come you chose to write on here rather than on the UK Zc Club site, no forget that I think I know....

Not yet, but at least I know what I m doing now JK

Hi, Managed to sort things, the wiring over the years had been messed with and some of the colours at the tank end were wrong. got the gauge reading again, and also checked out the temp gauge which is fine just needs a new sender unit..happy days.

Thanks Guys, love that clock in your avi by the way Dave...

Hi, does anyone know when the little red light in the speedo gauge that says "brake" on it lights up. Should it be linked to the handbrake or is it just a brake warning light. Just mine has never lit up and wondered if I needed to look behind the gauge at changing the bulb or checking the wiring to the handbrake. Thanks

Many thanks. Two of my favorite things in one place - Fastwoman and Z cars.... I have the Factory service manual from here http://www.xenons30.com/reference.html Hopefully will sort it this morning.

So I am trying to sort out a fuel gauge problem by a process of elimination, and at the back are 3 wires/contacts black, yellow and green. I am going to test the gauge with a 6v battery but which of the contacts do I use the tester on...?? Thanks, JK

Hi Ray, thanks but the sender seems to be working OK. Hope the weathers good for Heaves!!! Chris, Likewise not the sender we think...?? More work going on today hopefully and I will let you know how I get on....!!!

Hi, I have just had my fuel tank repaired after it started leaking and putting it back in today have got a problem with the fuel gauge not reading. Took the sender unit out again, tested it and its reading nearly 12v...?? is this right, shorted the wires, still no reading and the wires start getting warm!! Anyone got any ideas, or wiring info that might help, 1974 260Z 2 seater, by the way.

Good Idea, bb, thanks I will do just that

Ha ha discoloured by the sun is not often a UK problem.... My belts are not inertia reel belts which is why I thought these may fit as direct replacements for the ones I have which are just worn and very old/tired looking.

Hi, I have the possibility of some nos seat belts to replace the old ones in my 1974 260Z 2 seater, but am not sure if they will fit. The belts I think are for a 240Z, this is the image I have been sent of them and I think the Datsun UK part number is ND3 Does anyone know if these will fit my car...?? Many thanks, JK

Hi, JK from UK looking for a 240 or 260.....will get one one day! Cheers JK
