Sometimes there were prankers that put some weard parts in a pile of parts that the new guy took from a car at the painters.. Always fun to see what they do with it! 😁 The part you show here ... i never seen such a thing..

Gold Zinc Plating
Looks GOOD! I had a box ful of stuff i cleaned and took it to a firm here in s'Heerenberg Netherlands and when i went i grabbed a VERY dirty with tar painted very rare 280zx engine under shield and they cleaned it for me! see the result.. (sorry no pic of the tar painted one but you can see that the tar preserved the part well as you can see after 40+ years!! These shields are often disgarded after a repair or service.. haha, mine still had it on!! Tells me that the prev. owner took really care of it.

Drilling holes in doors and mirror positioning
Hi, I don't know the dimensions but.. with a little mirror you can probably see the old holes were the mirror should go! Wind down the glass and i think you can see the (closed) holes were the mirror ones was. My 240z has no orig. mirrors so i wouldn't know.. would be nice if someone could tell were the 2 holes are measured from the edge of the top rail thingy.. 🙂 Maybe with a picture of it.. with a measuring tape on it.

AGC glass fuse to blade fuse converter
I was laughing out very loud when i saw this Hihi ... but you finished the job! Yeah, soldering can be a challenge! In my mind the 2 spades were more wider.. maybe you could cut half the inside parts of them and bow the outer part of the spades to the outside and solder those to the 2 ends of the defect glass fuse. Use a soldering element of about 30-40 watt or a good regulated one otherwise you will break the glass.. again

AGC glass fuse to blade fuse converter
In the 1980's i had to learn soldering some wires to ReVox A77 and B77 taperecorder heads.. just enough heat to make a perfect connection.. i soldered A LOT but those were the most problematic.. But after a few ones i got the OK from my colleges. plukked from the internet.. 😉 The wires need to have a nice blob of shiny tin on them.. A little to much heat and your really are F---ed! 🤬

AGC glass fuse to blade fuse converter
I'm sure the cover is not gonna fit.. If i had no fuses anymore i would simply solder a new one (spade) onto the old broken fuse.. (maybe take a bit off of the fuse spades first..) So don't throw those old fuses away, they make a perfect platform to solder the new fuse to. (And no one else thought about this.. hihi.. 🙊)

Carb Needles Used In Non-American Flat Tops
I just looked in my garage for a set of needles i saved from a set of hmb carbs but i can't find them.. (I'm sure i saved them in a little box like were you store some thread making tools in..) BUT.... I do have here 1 HBM-46W carburetor from a '73 DUTCH car i'm 100 eh.. 99,90% sure.. It's in a very dirty state, comes from under a pile of junk that was cleaned away after the junkyard was cleaned up.. actually there was a complete 240z under a enormous pile of steel junk and... they scrapped it!! They only bothered to take out the engine and gearbox.. wich i bought in the 2010's or so.. Let me know if your interested in this carb.. not expensive just a nice price.. (I'm sure it has never been opened up.. or messed with!)

Pertronix Tach Issue
Ofcourse.. if the axle of the distributor is old crap... you get that.. After 50 years of neglect the timing is all over the place. Maintenance is important.

Maintenance crank seal service
Wow.. you got a big spacer on there! Normal would be a 3th of the thickness i think.. Never seen these pullies but i think it's a 2 pullie with a single one screwed to it? that one on top (on front) you probably can take off.. Then you can still use the orig. bolt to put it back on the engine, you could check the depth of the hole in the crankshaft to check if there is enough space for the bolt-length. but i guess that there would be no problem. Make sure you tighten that bolt with a torque wrench (over 200Nm? no don't know howmuch bigfootsquareinch and feets that is haha) I assume that the whole set of pullies is balanced by balancing the 2 and 1 pullie separate so that would be okay!

Pertronix Tach Issue
I'm driving now for 22 years on points with my 240z and last year i put in some new points after 25000+ km's.. Not because it ran bad.. just to be sure it's good.. The old ones were still nice.. if i hear all the trouble with pertronix i'll never buy that junk.. My 240z left me ones standing beside the road.. and that was because it had no fuel.. going up the hill !! 😂

Slalom Camshaft 475" Lift / 275 Duration New Old Stock!
Many Thanks guys, if i ever gonna use that camshaft, i remember this topic. IT's a DRILLED one! (I had to unpack it and it has the little holes in the cam's! (i was curious..)) I do have a old L24 spare engine that came in the 80's out of a scrap 240z in the Netherlands and lays completly apart and looks as if it has done 50k Km's haha.. so i could build me a racer engine besides the orig. engine that is still in my '71 car.. Do i need the extra delivering oil pump for this.. because that one was also in that deal? (New in box)... many years ago..

Slalom Camshaft 475" Lift / 275 Duration New Old Stock!
@Carl Beck After years comming back to this item... It really says: E1031 so it IS a RARE part i think? I got this complete with the 12 special lash pads and paperwork! So... how rare is it really? How i got the part? I bought a lot of parts of a Jaguar garage that had a 240z in service many many years ago and now i have some nice rare parts .. It says sLalom on the box writen but that must be SALOM i guess.. I wonder why no one can tell me what it is.. exactly.. and can i use it in a L24 or L26 or L28 ??

280Z bumpers on a 280ZX?
I can ad here that there are 2 kinds of calipers type 1 is 1978 - 1980 and type 2 is around 1981 - 1983. first one has more square pads and the later one is more modern like a fat banana .. They also have different rear axle constructions.. they don't mix! Even the disc of the rear brake is different!

Z's on BAT and other places collection
😂 Hihi.. arse monkey... 😂 Yeah, richard roll-ins and out ! Cars do that at his garage.. hihi.... Lately i saw he had a 300zxtt as new? in his shop... just to flip i guess.. i believe saw it on youtube.. yeah i remember, the vid about "selling everything"!

280Z bumpers on a 280ZX?
As the 240/260/280z is a s30 and a 280zx is a s130 chassis, very little (bolts and other small things) are the same.. As Chas said: those bumpers are not interchangeable i think as the s130 is wider.. i think..? Also they will not fit into the indentations of the body..

Clutch pedal goes to the floor with no resistance, canmot engage 1st gear
It works.. but you have a chance on a bended axle in your starter.. (as it has to "start" the whole car now..) I would use it when on a traintrack crossing.. and nothing worked.. to get off it hahaha...

Picked up a 73 240Z. Need help changing all the fluids
I always use a soappump to empty those little reservoirs, you clean it up into the old soap bottle and when you cleaned out the reservoir with a clean rag (dispose the rag after that!) you then fill them with clean brakefluid. (now you don't have to pump all that stuf through your cylinder.. and your reservoir is also clean.) And when your ready emptying you screw that pump back in the bottle (ex soap bottle) and you don't get any brakefluid on your car or shop.. (what will damage your paint! ) Brake fluid.. you don't want that on your car or towels!
