Why would this be better than the deal Z Car Source has running now for their steering rack kit for $407.00? (Sorry for the long link) https://zcarsource.com/steering-rack-240z-260z-280z-70-78-new/?utm_source=Z+Car+Source&utm_campaign=df4f5bb556-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_02_07_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_e019922a90-df4f5bb556-28816032&mc_cid=df4f5bb556&mc_eid=2e500e7ede

Well SteveJ, I am just now seeing this post... I live in Birmingham and only managed to make it to Cahaba Brewery Wednesday evening. Life is a balancing act and I am unbalanced at the moment when it comes to car stuff.. Hope y'all had fun. Tad

I'm missing my drivers side and found this laying under the seat. It fit. My car was built 12/71

Why don't you just order one and see if it works?

Just to close this out, I have everything back together and working correctly. Simply a matter of getting all the wiring properly routed and cleaning up all the connectors. I'll tell you what though, it sure was easier 30 years ago to do all this under the dash diagnosis. Thanks

Baby steps, Concentrated on the turn signal last night and was able to clean up the wiring and rid my car of the alligator clip? Blinkers working great! Still no brake lights, tested the switch and its working well, I have power to the switch so I'm sure its more creative wiring. I'm sure I'll get it working tonight. Previous owners always amaze me... Thanks,

How about this? Brake light switch, 2 black wires coming off the switch. One black wire off the switch connects to the Green/Yellow wire and goes to the emergency flasher switch. The other black wire you can't really see is connected to the Green wire with the blue connectors and goes to the tail lights. The best part... a most excellent alligator clip goes to the T/S flasher and attaches with another alligator clip. Gotta love PO's.

I've spent hours going over this, excellent work. I've also realized that with the European tail lights I have on my car it's wired a little differently which led to my confusion on the T/S Flasher and on top of that I've found some shady electrical work from previous owner(s).

Okay, my wipers are now working but I still have no turn signals. It's got to be connection related since everything worked previously. I've just plugged and unplugged the various connections, double checked correct connections when I've been able to. Still confused about a correct wiring diagram, they all seem to show different wire colors for the T/S flasher relay among other electrical items connected to the turn signals.

Hello Houston, we have a problem. Lets call it a challenge... I took out the relay from the circuit and the light switch started working as designed. Yea!! Oops, Now I have no wipers or turn signals. Huh, I had them the day before... I plugged the relay back in and the headlight switch was working but still no wipers or turn signals. The emergency flashers work well. The only thing I did between the time I saw my original issue and the time I took out the relay was fiddle with the emergency flasher switch. By fiddle I mean I took the switch out, inspected the wiring and reinstalled. I've tried all kinds of research with wiring diagrams and they can be very frustrating. In the diagram it will show a Blue/Red wiring going straight to a component but in my world that same blue/red wire goes thru a connector, changes color and disappears into the wiring harness. I have my work cut out for me...

Well dang, I'm slipping in my semi-old age. I should have thought of the removal of the kit #1. I bought the kit from Oliver @ ZSpecialties but it looks identical to the Motorsport Auto kit. I hope I won't have to drive to Gainesville for this, hate going through Atlanta. Will check back in later...

HI guys '72 240Z Just added a tail light relay kit to my car and while I had things apart I cleaned up the turn signal switch. The headlight switch looked brand new and worked well before installing the kit so I left it alone. I reassembled everything and now when my headlight switch is off my parking lights stay on. Position 1 is as it should be, parking lights on. Position 2 powers up the headlights. I have hi and low beams, the turn signals work as they should. Looked at a lot of wiring diagrams but can't figure out what I did wrong. Any suggestions? Thanks,
