    I also doubt that bicycle brake cable will work, for the same reasons mentioned by beandip. However, I hasten to add that oil is not the right product to use on cables. It may lubricate them briefly, but will tend to pool in low areas, or pour out one end or the other and attract fuzz and lint to further gum up the cable. It is grease injected all through the cable that is needed. It used to be (probably still is) that you could buy a small tool at motorcycle shops to assist in properly greasing these cables. Just my $.02
  2. It comes and goes. very annoying.
  3. Note shipping cost. This guy is charging double what it could be shipped for.
  4. I know. My eyes bugged out of their sockets when I saw what the guy had done to my truck windshield gasket. It was too late for me to stop him as the damage had already been done. No replacement gasket available in his truck and me 50 miles from home (at work). Driving home without a windshield would have been insane. I don't know if all of the glass replacement companies do this, but I know I'll be inquiring (and demanding proper work) before a finger gets laid on any vehicle of mine again.
  5. Gary: I have been having the same issue this evening. For me it is also affecting the forum pages (I have the same white rectangle between the left collumn and the Posts), it scrunches up the posts so they are narrower and longer than normal. I also noticed tha the "Donations" block on the Home page is wider that the rest of the left collumn (it extends into the "white rectangle"). I was beginning to think my computer was hosed.
  6. It's fairly simple. From the Home Page, "Main Menu" block on left, click "PHOTO GALLERY". When you get to a Photo Gallery Page, lokk at upper RIGHT of the page. See where it says "Upload Photo's" ?? Click that and follow along. PS you don't see you user name when you go to member galleruies because you don't have a gallery yet. You have to upload something before you will have a gallery.
  7. MikeW: I don't know about the "mobile installers" in your area, but out here they don't do the R & R the old fashion way, They cut your gasket in half, remove the old glass, lay in the new windsheild into the opening, and then apply tons of sealant and lay the top of the gasket onto the car. It's a really horrible way to repair a windshield. I mention this as a warning to make sure you know "HOW" they will effect the replacement before you let them touch your car.
  8. It's good to warn others of sellers who charge outrageous shipping. I also try to use a shipping calculator and sometimes add in 50 cents to cover a USPS Delivery Confirmation Number on Priority Mail shipping.
  9. 1. Best bet is to use the shipping calculator provided, then decide if you want to bid. 2. If one isn't provided, email the seller for a quote before bidding. 3. If he/she doesn't reply, don't bid. 4. If you bid anyway, don't whine. You are your own worst enemy.
  10. That will depend on if it can be made to fit and work properly in a Z. IIRC, in the other thread people were having problems closing the hood when using this strut bar. "There is no free lunch"

    Yup, The pedal arm concentrates all the force applied by your leg in one place, the middle of the pin. By the time the forces get from the pin to the yoke of the clevis, they are spread out 50/50 to the two areas that the pin contacts on the yoke.

    Good ones, Rick Guess your vacation was fruitful. Post more!
  13. There is another thread about this auction. The seller seems to have an attitude problem.

    Call Nissan. That's where I bought mine. Price was cheap. FWIW, you had better look under the dash before you go ordering pins. Generally it is the pedal arms themselves that get distorted more than the pins. (the pins are hardened, the arms are not) Now don't get me wrong, you'll need pins, but you are also likely to need to have the pedal arms repaired as well. The (used to be) round holes in my pedal arms had become severely elongated in addition to the clevis pins being tore up. I had to have bushings welded into the pedal arms to restore the holes to the proper diameter as well as replacing the clevis pins. Everything is perfect now.
  15. When setting up the Shipping Calculator, you can program in to it any amount of "handling fee" that you wish. It is up to the bidder to have enough sense to actually use the tool that is provided to know his/her costs.

  16. See EScanlon's post above. 'Nuff Said.

  22. Same thread/pitch as head bolts.

    Mine (71, and 72) had a bit of blue overspray around the flange area, but were mostly black. When I rebuilt them, they were painted all black. Overspray shows a lack of commitment.
  24. Here is the place to inquire about this sort of thing. www.hybridz.org The guys in this club do all sorts of transplants and conversions.
