I agree that a consideration with that style of mounting system is that it distorts the hatch glass seal, which eventually leads to water leaks.

Where did you tap in for power to the new sound systems, did that system include a high powered amplifier? (now it's in the right place)

Zed's suggestion on the EFI fusible link & also the EFI relay would be were I would check.

Just put this sticker on there ....

I will predict ..... $24,461.18 A week from Saturday will be exciting to watch, that's when the serious bidding happens.

It appears the reserve has been met, at 15k now.

Submitted it to BAT to give you more exposure. If accepted, they will list it with the link to your ebay auction.

An absolutely beautiful car! Are you saying that BAT won't let the seller set the reserve at any price level they want? Best of luck with the sale Chris, I am sure it will do very well on either Ebay or BAT.

Although the wheel cylinders are different, the hard line looks like it attaches in exactly the same place, just a different angle. Looks to me that if it is only that subtle difference, the early line should work with just a slight bend to reform it to that angle. (looked at the picture of the cylinders on MSA's site) Ya, using generic line was my 3rd option. Good tip on how to form it. I don't need to remove the bad fitting because I am replacing the flex line, which was the original problem. I will just take both out together, and them install the new flex & hard line to the wheel cylinder.

Doing some preventative maintenance on my rear brakes, discovered I need to replace one of the flex lines. The upper brake hose connection released with my flare wrench fine, but when I moved to the lower one, I discovered to my delight that the nut on the hard line going to the wheel cylinder had been slightly rounded, making the flare wrench slip. Appears that the previous owner had tried to remove that line with a regular open end wrench and failed. So, not wanting to have that issue on my car, I need to replace that short hard line that goes to the wheel cylinder as well as the flex line. It appears that there is a difference between the 73 - 76 hard line and the 77 - 78 ones. Does anyone know what the difference is, or if the earlier line can indeed be used on 77 ? Here are the stainless ones from Zcardepot, 73 thru 76 only available. The other option I have researched are the ones from Classic Tube. They have the ones for 77 cars in stainless or OE. Does anyone have any experience with them?

Why not just replace the damaged stud with a new one? Or use an appropriate metric die to clean up the threads on the existing one.

I like picture #2 .... looks like it's being prepped for major surgery. Looks like those magnetic parts dishes have come in handy. Good luck Cliff, we are all pulling for you.

Got to attend Zup's birthday get together yesterday with family & friends. Some of the guests ...

Was going to suggest BAT as well. A lot of discussion is generated when a Z car is listed. The seller can interact & answer questions as well.

Best of luck with your sale Cliff. Sad to see the persimmon one go though. Interestingly, there is a 7/72 non running with many issues near Atlanta on CL. He is looking for 5k. You should have no problems.

I am sure that Chester & Herod would accommodate your request. Just ask for, let me think ..... one of the many Jim's.

The ad was right, there is more future in a Datsun! As the existence of the site has proven.

His Cl ad https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/5527253565.html points to his ebay auction http://www.ebay.com/itm/252346785331?forcerRptr=true&item=252346785331&viewitem= which is currently around 2K. The 999.00 was just a price to get you to look at his listing.

For dill bits, have you been using left hand bits? That's what worked for me a few years ago, started small & well centered, worked my way up a few sizes, and the stud backed out.

I thought the price you set was extremely reasonable for what it includes.

Wow, what a great tool! It laughs at those notorious spindle pins! Put me on that list ... Interesting that you use liquid wrench instead of Aero Kroil or PB Blaster, but it appears to have worked for you.

I too am a big fan of the Paraut water pump which has the cast impeller, have used on 3 Z cars with no issues. I also use their excellent fuel filter. Available on Amazon ...

The small heat shield in the picture looks like the one that sits between the exhaust manifold & the pcv hose to protect it. Mounts vertical under the main intake heat shield. It is reversed in your picture, goes on the other way when viewed from the driver side. The one for the brake MC area is larger and more square. You can see a good picture of it in Rossiz's recent injector parts for sale thread.
