I did some polishing on Cody's headlight rings This took about 5 minutes

I finished the other side of the tunnel today

He's in California, probably going to have to get it all back right to pass SMOG

I will work getting them posted. I probably didn't do them yet

Having a spare set of carbs helps eliminate a lot! Fuel: weak or sporadic pump, bad tank or lines, too rich? Ignition: bad coil, bad cap, bad dizzy More vacuum leaks

What do you do about overspray at the door edges to prevent blowing in on the door jamb?

It looks like this link might be behind a paywall...

I am always looking for something to read when the forum is slow!

Will you leave the interior in primer or color it?

You're flying! Great progress!!

You could probably also link to the UK site in your thread

@AK260 Be sure and post up your experiences. Either in this thread or a new one. This is a topic that could use fleshing out as so few people have attempted this rebuild

I understand. The three shops I recommended have very good reputations

I believe the resource section has templates for them except maybe the floor mats. Unless I forgot to post my tunnel templates?

The wires aren't very expensive...

Where is the positive terminal on the old battery? I prefer to get one that has the positive terminal away from the fender.

Where did you source that?

Well, you answered one of my questions. You still have the noise on a cool differential. I wouldn't get rid of any CLSD r200! If even for parts in the future. If it was me and I could afford it, I would find a rebuilder to go through it. Especially after reading inline6's thread on what he's gone through trying to do his. Call Rebello, zcargarage or Datsun spirit for a price or a recommended shop to do the work.

I suspect in the speedo itself. I have had mixed results cleaning them.

@chaseincats Being in Texas I wouldn't think smog or inspections would be an issue?

That might be nice!

Testing headlamp bulbs in the shop the other day. Another use for the jump box. I have an LED kit that SteveJ recommended but I figured I would start this way and then add the LED's in later

Cody worked on the parking brake some more. We figured "while we were at it..." So he took it all apart. He bead blasted the black parts. We didn't paint them yet because it's been so cold. He did buff out the brake handle Finished Didn't get the teeth totally perfect but I think it will be ok Used a little Boeshield to protect it

I believe it is Kilo pascals...

So the shims your are changing on the pinion are #4 on this diagram? The side shims are #9 & #18? If so adding shims is going to reduce lash because the pinion gear is conical and as it moves further back in the case lash is going to go down, but that's going to move the contact pattern on the ring. I'm not sure that I would hold to this instruction about overall thickness. You've got a new center section and new bearings. It's possible that a minor manufacturing tolerance has changed the overall thickness needed. I would be passionate about keeping the original contact patch in the same place though.
