This is the one I have. They look about the same to me.

I thought of that. Still hoping for some firsthand knowledge before taking the chance of it not fitting.

Well, they look the same, but of course that doesn't mean they would fit. There may just be a difference in finish, but not how they attach. Hoping someone might have some to look at and compare. Thanks for the input!

No one has any advice?

I bought a Precision gasket and installed the trim before putting the glass in the car. I used soapy water and a tiny dull screwdriver to work the trim into the rubber. It wasn't that hard, but time consuming. I didn't have any issues with the corners not closing up. Try not to get that silicone on your paint.

Installing the shiny trim should push the rubber out. But I never tried installing it after the glass was in the car, so I'm not sure if that's the best way. Is that the Precision rubber seal?

I have an early 1974 260, with a missing hinge cover. I found this item in the Motorsport catalog, but it says only fits 72 and 73. They look very much like the one cover I now have. I emailed the vendor, and they replied the part numbers are different, so it may not fit. Does have any experience on this?

I did buy a 280Z collar to use with the aftermarket pressure plate. The stacked height looked good, but with the engine running it was hard to shift into a forward gear, and grinding going into reverse. The car was driveable, but engagement was at the top of the pedal travel. I know these may not be same symptoms as yours, just saying there's something funny with these replacement pressure plates.

I hope you can get it working. I had take my transmission out again and put the original pressure plate back in for it to work properly.

Glad you like the Mac's! Yes it is rather stinky, don't inhale deeply.

M4, .7, thanks! I do have the JIS screwdriver, without it I would never have been able to budge them. But, as I was removing them they were very tight, and the heads seemed rather soft and began to deform. I cleaned and oiled the threads as much as possible. Just glad I got them out, but would like to put new ones in if I can find them. The search is on. Thanks again!

I am removing my quarter windows to replace the rubber. I managed to get the retainer screws out without breaking them, but damaged the heads. I would like to know the diameter and pitch of these tiny screws so I can replace them. Thanks!

I use Mac's Aluminum Brightener from NAPA. Spray it on, rinse it off, wheel looks new.

Thanks for the link.

I never could get a Craftsman or otherwise screwdriver to work well on JIS screws. I bought a Pozidriv PZ2 driver from Amazon, and it fits the JIS screws very nicely.

I'm surprised they were able to lift it like that, without the floor caving in.

That's nice little truck. Reserve not met at 15k.

Nice wheels on the truck.

I would think that aftermarket undercoating would devalue the car.

Have you ever removed those pieces? There are a few clips inside, maybe some are missing.

Great work! You won't have much trouble installing the starter after the engine is in place.

There are two black wires coming out of the motor housing, one is for low, the other is high speed. If you take the cover off the relay, you can access them. Connect 12V to either wire and ground the motor housing, it will run if the motor is good. If it does run, clean the relay.

I had the same problem with the motor not running. I bypassed the relay and connected a battery straight to the motor, and it ran. Power goes through the relay before the motor, so I cleaned the contacts on the relay, and it worked fine. You might give that a try.

Does your motor have a relay on the side?
