Temperature and current also affect shininess according to some documents I have read.

"turn up" and "turn down" work nicely for SU jet height nuts and Weber Idle Enrichment Screws.

Impressive results!

Rebuilding L26 for a friend. Dropped off block and crank at machine shop for de-glaze and polish

If you are disappointed that you were unable to be ripped-off on Ebay there is still craigslist https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/wto/d/240z-dhubcaps-from-69-70/6520499119.html

Crooks. I doubt these are from Japan too.

@kats, The photo above seems to be at the same facility where the photos below were also taken. The licence plate sequence also tell a story 39-01 & 39-31 above. Below is 39-38 and 39-47.

Kats, Johnnie Gable mentioned that Mr. K's favourite car colour was silver.

Wheels!

Panama is very hot so this car will have challenges most do not have... except maybe Texas, New Mexico, or Nevada in the summer.

Another query with the seller on Ebay yielded the country of manufacture is Japan and more can be ordered.

SU's work fine with the top of the fuel at 23mm down from the inside roof of the fuel bowl. This translates to ~20mm down from the margin where the lid rests on the fuel bowl

I was motivated after seeing that at least 5 sets of these have sold on Ebay under false pretenses. http://www.240260280.com/Marketplace/Fake Parts/Fake Z Parts.html

Fakes are on Craigslist in San Fransisco too:

Got a reply from the seller: "Thand you for interested my D caps. I took a vacation trip to asia countries. I found a few set. I kept 1 set for my car. Tell you the true. I did not know, they look brand new to me and fit very good. Thanks" He also updated the description in the Ebay ad. I looks like someone is making reproductions.

btw I just bought a "real" set (3 with hole at gap and 1 with hole at spoke). Anyone want to trade?

Great photo above! Some have valve stem hole at spoke, others have it at the gap between spokes. Usually the ones at the spoke have fewer fingers. There does not seem to be a date cut-off as both were observed as far back as 1967. It may be due to two different manufacturers.

Wait until @kats has a look. He will see more!

Real has 7 bends. Fake has 5 bends

Real Punched hole Fake Drilled Hole

Real finger with 3 semi circle cuts Fake with two cuts

They look fake to me. - fingers on the back do not have correct outer edge serrations - depth of cut between fingers is shallower - holes for air stem are not beveled/pressed in but are simply bigger drilled holes - paint is wrong shade and is too glossy - edges of spokes are pressed into too sharp angles - stamped ink numbers are too clear , too aligned , too small and the sequence is wrong. I always thought they were date stamps as they were often the same digits. - one of the inner circular bends in the steel just outside of the D plastic seems to be missing I wonder if someone is getting these bad repro's / fakes done offshore given the recent $1k prices?
