This was definitely the one on the firewall...

Nice...! So what exactly is it...?

PITA bread...is food for thought...! So now I would like to find a new one...any idea what the part number is...? (the intermittent wiper relay is a 3 wire connection, this is a 4 wire)

Wish I knew where it was mounted under the hood...!

JIDECO is the brand name. The model number is so faint on top that it cannot be read. JIDECO is stamped, the model number is printed. I thought this might be a relay for the electric fuel pump near the gas tank. It has a four prong connector. The wiper relays I have seen only have 3.

I know this does something under the hood of my 1973 240z....but what...? And where can I get a new one...? Thanks...Ryals

The only option listed on the bill of sale for my 1973 240z is a "padded console armrest". I am the second owner and a personal friend of the original buyer. The car was well documented and all receipts saved in the file I now have in my possession. I have to assume this is the original armrest as my friends state that it had never been replaced, nor is there a receipt for any interior work. Any thoughts from anyone on the subject...?

What's the difference...? I need rubbers for my 1973...and no one seems to have them. I can wait on the fronts, but the rears have to go on before mounting the bumper to the car before installing the gas tank, etc, etc, etc....

I have a 3/73 240z and the only "option" listed as additional charge was the console armrest....and it has the stone guard under the engine.

I just had mine done at Southern Bumper in College Park, GA for $1090.00...bumpers and guards. Mine are 1973...where do I get the over rider rubbers....? Every place I see says theirs are for 70 - 72 only. BTW... I sent 4 rear bumper ends and asked them to pick the best pair for replating. They did all 4, so I have a set if anyone needs them.

View Advert 240z Rear Bumper Ends I sent 4 bumper ends to the chrome shop asking for them to pick the best TWO out for plating. All FOUR came back plated. The two I am selling need the mounting brackets bent back straight as seen in the pictures. They are very nice...maybe not "show" chrome, but that is not what I paid for nor required.

Just got another email from them...They have one in stock with the tint band for $295 in Atlanta.

I got a price back of $345 this morning...not sure if that is shipped or not. They asked for my zip code...but it seems low to have included shipping, high for not. Hmmmm....

I am almost ready for the glass to go back into my project. Is there a preferred vendor, brand or tint type I should be looking for...?

I thought that was the case...Thanks...!

I will gather all of the parts to be plated and (hopefully) all will be acceptable to the plater. I saw on Zeddsaver's website a picture of the hood hinges in Yellow Zinc. Mine are painted body color (115 Metallic Blue)...anyone care to comment...? Thanks for the help...!

All I am saying is that the Copper Nickle finish on the FedHill Cuniform line was very red and I would like a gold / yellow finish on the lines. I spoke with a plater in Atlanta yesterday who reluctantly (but benevolently) agreed to plate whatever I brought him in Yellow Zinc as long as it is not stainless. I don't want to be chastised by guys on Bring A Trailer for using stainless lines (God forbid) when I can just as easily do them in plated mild steel and be factory correct. I am surprised that no company offers the hard lines (bulk or pre-bent) in a gold cad finish...or do they...? I am new to the World of Datsun...been around Triumph TR4's all my life, so be patient...please...!

I just wonder if installing stainless lines will hurt the value of a high-end restoration...? And if so, by how much. I have so much in this one that I am probably going to have to sell it when finished. I ordered Copper Nickel line from FedHill but the color was way off of the Yellow Cadmium of the rest of the parts in the engine bay.

Huge decision to make...Stainless hard lines or mild steel and then have them cadmium plated...? I like the idea of stainless, but have been told there can be sealing issues at the fittings. I have made the decision that pre-bent is the way to go and there isn't that much of a cost difference between SS and mild steel. I don't know the cost of plating, but can't imagine that it isn't cheap. It also stalls the work on the car. Opinions, please...!

I found a set of four on Ebay. Looks like 2 are almost perfect, 1 is very, very nice...but the fourth one will not go on my car in the shape that it is in. So I am now looking for one or even two that are immaculate. And on that note, I have at least 4 to sell that need restoration.

Does anyone know of a source for restoring the original (but not the "D" type) of 240z wheel covers...?
