It's more of a rebirth than a replica. Randy worked extensively with the BRE team members and photos to capture every detail possible. He bought all of the existing parts still in existence from Dan Parkinson and installed them in the car (except for the engine and transmission which remain on display). While the original body was wrecked in the late 70s, John Morton thought enough of Randy's efforts to give Randy the original car's VIN plate.

I could do it in AutoCAD, but I just haven't decided I needed a color version.

Sad news. The BRE 46 got caught up in an accident at the HSR race in Daytona. Fortunately, John Morton walked away. I haven't seen any photos from the aftermath, but I did hear the car ended up on its roof. Randy said the car is very messed up.

Actually, the OP hasn't returned to this site since a couple of hours after the initial post. I hope he is finding what he's looking for.

Are Burnouts an Appropriate Way for Mechanics to Road Test Cars?
Don't be silly. You don't test seat belts that way. You attach heavy chains to the rear bumper with some slack. Then you accelerate quickly. Once the slack has been removed, the car comes to a sudden stop, and the driver and passenger test the seat belt integrity. At least that's how my mechanic checked mine.

What are you planning on using to trigger the spark? You may want to create an account at hybridz.org and search there. @madkaw has been running them. He might be able to give you insight.

That's the one and only fusible link in a 240Z. I forgot that you can get the fusible link here, too: https://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/12-4332

@zspert Are you still just taking checks, or have you moved up to Paypal? I think @kenward1000 will probably be contacting you soon about a fusible link.

Okay, the fried egg sandwich and tater tots hit the spot. Thankfully, I found a photo on my computer so I don't have to go out to the garage. I'm getting old and lazy. You can find it here: http://www.zzxdatsun.com/catWiring.php. It's part number WH-03.

Parts Wanted: WANTED; '72 240z Headlight Switches
You said you wanted 72 switches. That's definitely a 73 switch.

Parts Wanted: WANTED; '72 240z Headlight Switches
@Flyzlo While the part number on the bag is for a 72, the switch looks like it is for a 73-76. The wiper control is the key. On the 72 the wiper has Off, Lo, and Hi. (Off and 2 dots). On the 73-76, the wiper has Off, Int, Lo, and Hi. (Off and 3 dots) Having said that, how much to ship to Zip Code 30506?

Last Chance To Buy A New Datsun
Nissan's problems started well before Renault came into the picture. Whereas Toyota and Honda had significant production capacity in America in the early 90s, Nissan did not have enough, and when the yen got strong, Nissan was priced out of the marketplace.

Group Harrington may not be the cheapest, but they had no problem with taking my credit card. I did have to contact the bank to tell them it was a legit charge. Group Harrington also shipped promptly.
