Any idea what the different numbers on these mean??

So I was pulling plating together today. This window roller is in bad shape. The rubber is rock hard and is flat on one side. So I worked on getting it apart. I crimped the end back closed and got the pin back through. Then the roller came out So then I was like, where am I gonna source a new roller. I wonder if Steve Nixon makes one? Lo and behold! https://www.240zrubberparts.com/apps/webstore/products/show/7727245 @nix240z I plan on reusing the tube and expanding it with a long skinny punch

I would prefer to plate everything in house but it is so slow!!! I also just don't have the correct power supplies or large enough ones. So I am going to send a batch out. I will hold back a few things I can do in house that they might mess up. Hoping for good results

I believe the plater will acid dip all the hardware prior to plating. So any residual rust will be removed. Although the cleaner it goes in the cleaner it aught to come out. Also, as a note, I have found that JIS screwdrivers will still easily turn screws with this sort of damage. JIS screwdrivers are the proper screwdrivers for all Nissan screws

The 427 is also really cool! Probably really costly in Europe too

The seam is visible and many times has some small ripples. From memory, rear valance laps over the lower rear quarters

Super! Post up pics when you get it and relevant pricing

Can you provide thread size and pitch? Might only have to source the washers that way...

My 2 cents Go back and review post #6 and give the electrical engineer what he asked for...

The makita is expensive but I have found it very useful. I have used it on multiple cars, my boat and I do glass panels too. I figure it will last a while

Really shouldn't be needed unless you are looking for a reason to buy one

I'll try that, thanks

I sand for orange peel Compound for partial shine and polish for good reflectivity I have a makita 7" VS polisher. It's digital so it holds the speed no matter the load https://www.amazon.com/Makita-9237C-7-Inch-Polisher-Sander/dp/B00LA6M64G

The seats look a lot like BMW Roadster seats The seals fold over on the front lip when they meet the body

The bolt is unique too, I believe. I think it is a shoulder bolt

Some clears shine up better than others. Maybe they will have a recommendation for how to bring it up some. They may have a finer polish too

Thats roughly what I would have done. I think at this point I would ask a jobber (paint supplier) how to get better results.

Is it possible to get a picture? I know it can be difficult to see in photographs. You are using BC/CC? How long has it been painted? How many coats of clear? What process are you using?

Very clever!

The seals would fold over instead of laying flat against the body. Like there wasn't enough space to allow them to lay flat while the doors closed. Ill see if I can make a picture

Pretty car! I didn't spend alot of time in the gallery but I like pretty much everything about this car But that's a lot of money

Love that old truck!! Also the car looks fabulous. How did your door seals turn out? Did you have similar problems to what I had?

Check the fuses. If the motors bound up and you left it on, it probably blew the fuse

It has been suggested before to get a digital volt meter. Still don't have one. Can't test for true voltage or resistance with a test light. Nobody can help you fix these things from a 1000 miles away if your not gonna do what they ask!!!

I agree that electricity is one of the biggest hurdles. California already has issues producing and transferring power. With an enormous demand added, how will that be accomplished. Definitely not hydro! The lakes are already painfully low. Nuclears out, coal, nope. Natural gas is still an emitter. Green sources are erratic and storage of excess energy is a problem. Will be interesting to see how it plays out
