How about a full respirator suit when shooting paint. Nothing like sacrificing workers' health! Keith

Kats, My 1969 Patrol L60 has a 3.956 L pushrod motor. (The L Series is a "modern" engine, never envisioned by the Patrol designers.) Keith

I did not buy the Prince toolbox. I too am always on the look out for tools, however I concentrate on Standard (non-metric) tools that were originally included with my early Datsun projects. Keith

Kats, Interesting your tool box is tan (bamboo), similar color to my Patrol box. There is also a gray color Prince box: Keith

So is it more common for the capacitor to be mounted in the plug or on the radio circuit board?

When removing the antenna cable from the back of the radio, the male plug broke. The plug appears to have a capacitor with the natation “180PF +-10% 50V”. What purpose does this capacitor serve? Thanks, Keith

I am installing NOS storage covers and want to minimize the possibility of them breaking at the fastening knob. Has anyone devised a method to reinforce the cover edges? Thanks, Keith

Correct. Keith

Beautiful, even the seat vents look authentic. Keith

Can anyone identify the model year application for the application coolant "T" connectors (CTC)? Thanks, Keith

Can anyone identify the model year application for the left throttle bell housing pivot (TBHP) ? (The right TBHP appears to be from a 1970 240Z.) Thanks, Keith

What is the production period this pan is appropriate for? Thanks, Keith

Is this jute sewn to the carpet of your Dec 1971 US 240Z? Also, heel pad appears identical to mine shown in #138 above. Keith

Kats, I believe the "L" vehicles had some "luxury" features, including the driver and passenger floor carpeting. My 1970 circa heel pad is shown below Please post a photo of Watanabe san’s car's heel pad. Thanks, Keith

Kats, Is Watanabe san’s car a Fairlady Z-L( https://global.nissannews.com/en/releases/release-13d7bc8a1f613356fb7f04775611b5c4/photos/1)? Regards, Keith

The thickness of my reproduction jute is 9.59 mm. Keith

For USDM, the early Z (Series 1) was delivered with a rubber mats. A California based trim shop (Chester and Herod Auto Carpets, not located in Texas) manufactured a five (5) piece carpet set which was generally installed or included in the rear hatch area prior to the vehicle being delivered to the dealer. Some dealers overlayed the carpet on the rubber mats. Some dealers removed the rubber mats prior to installing the carpet. It is still unclear whether the jute underlay was factory installed under the rubber mat. Why would Nissan have an underlay (that could potentially trap moisture) under a rubber mat? Sound deadening perhaps? Keith

Prototype: Natural color Final color: I have not yet trimmed the cutouts….I am still attempting to confirm the actual cutouts based on my 240Z production date. The material I source is 39+/- 1" in width, currently I can purchase 10 yards, imported from overseas. I then have to have the material color matched. I then have to hang the material outside to reduce the fumes. The materials, chemicals, and labor for the two front mats shown above are approximately $450 all in (this is a set I plan to use). As I have discovered on some samples, the color did not penetrate 100% of the material, leaving some of the original uncolored material evident. Therefore, I may have to have the material color matched after cutting to pattern. I have not tested the color for colorfastness, off-gassing in an enclosed vehicle, and water repellency or absorption. Therefore, I consider any sample and my set a prototype. At this juncture, it is not feasible to offer large pieces to others. I want to get some samples to Z owners for their feedback. Once I have confidence in the process and product I will make it available to the Z community. Keith

I have this one. PM me an offer if you are interested. Keith

Can't wait to see what is new: Keith

Does anyone have a master list of the various hose clamp sizes and their fitment in the engine/dash compartments? Thanks, Keith

I have two (2) styles of Accelerator / Gas Pedals Does any know the model/production year of these? Thanks, Keith

Same manufacturer. Keith
