I would think if the OD's on the pistons are similar and both brake port holes are open at rest it would probably work...

My daughter identified it using a Google function. Pretty cool... It's a Mopar antenna nut, not mine

Cody's in Florida so I think he's safe. I just don't want to ship it back and then realize it's mine. But I don't recall any part like that

Most calipers I've worked couldn't be collapsed by hand and my hands are pretty strong. Have the calipers been rebuilt?

Jim do you recognize that last part in my chrome post? @motorman7 ??

Good to know!

So I received my chrome work today. Most of it looks pretty good. I have a few things I'll ask about. Its expensive work! I have no idea how I ended up with four drivers and two passenger?? Two ash trays 2 sets of visor brackets & three cig lighter rings Four buttons for hatch locks and 2 gas doors I need some help ASAP! Is this a Datsun part?? I'm thinking no...

I would want an early car kit. No split in the rear carpet and different under the seats. Id didn't see that on their site...

If the fluid can't flow back and there's any air in the system they will get tight when driven

I wonder if those bids jump that much because the new bidder is bidding multiple times to clear somebody's previous bid but it only shows a bid when the winning bidder changes?

They did a nice job!! Those latches are tough to get plated well! Ive heard Precision doesn't really want to plate for restorations?

Did precision plate those door latches? They look really good!

@Matthew Abate Do you know if Newark Auto makes a carpet kit for the early cars? You're making good progress!

So the early locks had the T-slot? Do you have pictures of the spring side of those locks?

@jfa.series1 can you tefresh me on deciphering the date codes?

Socket heads might be nice there. One day I might have room for a lathe... and a bridgeport...and... 😁

I made it back into the shop again, finally. I got a batch of clear zinc back from the platers and went through and reworked some door latches. I used the kits that Steve Nixon sells for the rubber bits inside the latch. I also bought a couple of spring assortments because one of the latches was missing the return spring Interestingly I have two different styles of latch. I have the style with the coiled return spring and then I have one latch that has the two flat springs in it. The one with two flat springs has a small notch on either side of the latch arm slot. Steve's rubber parts are designed for this style of lock. On the other locks I had to take a little rubber out of the semi circular pieces to make them fit properly and I glued them in place with some black super glue There are also three squarish rubber pieces that fit over the ends of the arms to cushion them The hardest ones to get on are the one that go on the door striker. There is very little little clearance to get the one side in Here are my two styles side by side. Maybe someone else can add some info on when these parts changed? Even the flat spring on the latch pawl is a different design between the two... I also put the dovetail on the edges of the doors and the spring loaded door poppers into the door jambs. Minimal progress but something. Now that I have the latches back, I can work on assembling the rest of the doors and glass

I thought I posted this up already but I didn't see them over the last few pages... I had to trim the ears on the R200 diff for a little more clearance on the new SS exhaust This is an untrimmed side Trimmed I made a bracket to connect to the mid span support on the top of the new exhaust. It will attached under the diff arrestor strap nut Template Under the car Finished

@Captain Obvious I found the screws for the front turn signals today in the shop

I worked on Cody's car some Friday Hung the header, intake manifold and carbs The header is a pretty tight fit! I still need to come up with a way to hold the parking brake cable over Got the radiator in and have the alternator most of the way in

Looks good

How does it pivot without leaking?

Pretty car. I like the clean engine bay

I used a big flat head screwdriver and put the edge of the blade in the slots

Those look nice! Cost? Where to order?
