Yep, two circular clips to secure the overflow hose. One about 1 1/2" below the top tank, one about 1" above the bottom tank.

Radiator suggestions?
Depending in the condition of your tanks, there's nothing wrong with having your radiator re-cored. Then too, its all about the skills of the shop doing the work. My OE two-row became troublesome after just a few years of ownership and after several repairs I had it re-cored to a three-row. Still running it today with not a single repair and it holds up well to Texas heat.

This site has an extensive database of auto manufacturer paint codes and their corresponding paint manufacturer codes.

Touch up paint #214, Cocoa Brown
Your Nissan paint code 214 was used from 1974 through 1978. Here are the manufacturer paint codes. Take this info to an automotive paint store and ask them to check their computer to see if they have the formula on file. Some paint stores can make up a rattle can while liquid paint may only be available in a quart size or larger (big $$$). As an alternative, contact a touchup supplier like this one to see if they can match your color. Touchup pint is usually available in small brush on quantitites. https://www.automotivetouchup.com/

Resurrected Classics Exhaust
Here's the MSA premium exhaust kit as of 15 years ago, a very nice bolt-up to the MSA 6-1 header. Sorry, no pic of the resonator install but it is welded in about 12" behind the flange connecting the exhaust pipe to the header. I installed the complete exhaust system, easy peasy! Every shop that has seen the underside is impressed with how easy it is to work with. Here's a pic of the pipe near the diff and suspension.

Resurrected Classics Exhaust
@darom Here is the back half of a video. I live in an urban area, sadly no cool twisty roads to enjoy. This run is on a nearby toll road. My old GoPro has a port for an external mic, I attached it to the bumper just above the exhaust outlet. When I passed the semi and the RV I was running about 80 mph, 4,000 RPM. The sound is quite livable in the cabin. 50th Anniv. Clip.mp4

Resurrected Classics Exhaust
The resonator is a unbranded stock model my exhaust shop carried. I do have a video from a local run I did on the car's 50th anniversary. I need to edit it shorter for posting. I attached a remote mic at the tailpipe to get the best possible sound capture. Stand by.

New Member--Servicing Z cars
Welcome to the group, that's a great looking shop. You'll not find a more knowlegeable and suppotive bunch of owners and enthusiasts anywhere else on the interweb. Going foward, if you have questions regarding any of your project cars I recommend you provide the VIN and build date for the car in question. Nissan made a lot of mid-model changes and those details can help improve the accuracy of any responses.

It sure looks like the correct part but there is a similar part on the type B transmission. Is it possible you have one from the later transmission? Thanks for checking this, much appreciated
