Restoration of BringaTrailer 240z - HLS30-35883
Liquids seal is better 3m urethane or 3m weatherstrip adhesive Some of this is obsessive. I doubt your car will ever see enough rain to be an issue. Even parked outside all of these cars are 50 years old and rust at the emblems is not the issue. No offense intended...

If I was worried about water entry at the emblems I would use some emblem adhesive or urethane sealant

It probably wouldn't be broken. Could have a little nick or slight cut. That's all it would take...

Putting in a replacement L-28
I recently ordered a lightened flywheel from them. it came in no problem. I have never tried to contact them. Supply is going to get worse as China just closed one of their major ports due to Covid

Putting in a replacement L-28
Beware of California Datsun, he has a poor reputation I can't answer the 240z / 280z spring question. I would suspect they're different because of curb weight changes

I think having a document that shows and describes each fastener would be superb! Perfect candidate for a tech article

Play in Choke connecting plate 1 and connecting rod
I am thinking the choke cables tip the throttles slightly before pulling on the nozzles, iirc. That is why I leave the extra length

Restoring and prepping hardware for plating - the "easy" way
Plating is all line of sight basically. So I'm gonna say no. I have some parts that have been plated and if the hinges aren't move around when plated then the shaded area doesn't get plated. So I doubt the tight areas near the rivets will receive any plating. Painting has similar limitations

Play in Choke connecting plate 1 and connecting rod
When I connect choke cables I do not lift the cable coonection at all other than to make sure they are even to each other. The choke handle moves more but you know they are all the way released when the handle is down
