You're very welcome. Glad I could help. -
I know this question is answered, but I just wanted to mention that it would not be necessary to remove the outer center metal finisher to run the wiring harness and install the grommet. With the license plate light removed it should be no problem. Cheers Mike

If it's the rectangular headlights you like, here's one on Craigslist with a similar body kit. https://vancouver.craigslist.org/rds/cto/d/west-kelowna-1971-datsun-240z/6778747607.html

On the imgur pics there are images of some service records and I saw this, it makes me question the mileage:

On the graymotors closed auction he listed a copy/paste link for more pictures, for those who are interested here it is: https://imgur.com/a/LC1Abkd

This car seems to have been sold a month ago on Ebay for US$28,850 and a reported mileage of 51,310 by a different seller: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1970-Datsun-Z-Series-/202530708936?nordt=true&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.m43663.l10137 Seems strange that it has a 90 psi oil pressure a gauge, it would have originally had a 140 psi gauge, unless it was changed. That seems unlikely for a car with 50K miles.

The 21595-M0206 switch was used on other models as well, found these specs on the Datsun 1200 site: http://datsun1200.com/modules/mediawiki/index.php?title=Electric_Fan The stock Datsun B310 fan Thermo switch specifications: * Part Number 21595-M0206 * Nominal ON: 85-90C * Spec ON: 83-87° C (181-189 F) * Spec OFF: 78-81° C (172-178 F) * used with 82C thermostat (88C optional)

Here is the optional fan from my parts CD.

I will PM you for your address and mail it out. I don't get over to the Island to often but I will send you a message next time I do, thanks for the invite. Mike

The piece I have is not in very good shape. It is from a Dec. '70 parts car. The texture is not the same as your picture, here's what it looks like, I didn't realize that the early cars were different.

Staying on the reflection theme, here's me cruising down the I-5 to the 64 Funny Cars event at SIR in '79

Good to see your making progress, keep the updates coming. No flames here. Cheers Mike

At the request of @brigtek23 I have created 3D Cad Models of the Interpart lock parts and uploaded the to our downloads section here:
-
This is a 3D Assembly Model (.stp format) of a pair of LH and RH Interpart Lift Louvre Lock Assemblies. The assembly contains individual part models of the lock components. These plastic locks are no longer available so I hoping that these files will be of use to someone that needs to make replacements. This model was created using Solid Edge ST5. Also included is 3D pdf file of the same assembly for those that don't have a cad program and simply would like to view the model, it requires Adobe Reader X or higher to use. I have done my best to accurately model these with measurements taken from a good condition set of parts. These might be suitable for 3D printing, or could be used for CNC machining. Users of these files should check them for suitability with the manufacturing process they plan to use. The assembly includes the left and right aluminum mounting strips to show the complete assembly. Other CAD 3D formats can be supplied on request.Free -
I did it by hand using microfibre cloths to polish with, and did a couple of applications of each product. It does a good job with haze and micro scratches, deeper scratches become a little less evident. Here's a picture of the result.

+1 on the Meguiar's product. I used # 17 followed by #10 on my tail light and front turn signal lenses, with good results.

Here it is as a pdf. Good work @evanlowe98. Evans 280z front pully gear 36-1 tooth.pdf

I would say the balance tube pictured looks correct for an early car with the emissions controls, it should have E46 cast into it. I believe there were some minor variations over the years. Here's a link with more info, see the pictures in post #4

When I measured the plastic washers and bolt I learned that the bolt is not metric, it's 7/16-20 UNF. Probably to meet federal safety regulations at the time. Also there are two plastic washers, the they both have centering pilot that goes into the metal body mounting bracket and the body side washer is threaded, 7/16-20 UNF. Here is a drawing, best I could measure, and a couple of pictures. The two steel washers are 24mm OD x 11.5mm ID x 2.3mm thick and the 7/16-20 UNF bolt is 1.7" long. The reddish fibre washer is about 20mm OD x 11mm ID x 0.6mm thick and has internal serrations. These parts are from my 7'70 so they would come with a safety belt set, part number 86800-E4100 that was used up to 11,71 SAFETY BELT WASHERS - 86800-E4100.pdf

Let me know if you would like dims for that washer. I have not re-assembled it yet.

On my 7'70 the bolt does tighten onto the plastic with a stack steel and plastic washers like in these pictures. My interior is currently out but I believe the order of washers is correct. Even when the bolt is tight I can swivel the metal part of the seatbelt with some resistance. Hope this helps.
