Torque specs link mounting braces
What model of S30 do you have, it seems that the torque for this fastener is lower for 70 thru 73 240z's and changed to 33-44 ft-lb with the 260z. FYI this torque spec is listed in all of the FSM's, Here are a couple of images from the 1970 FSM. Did the fastener size change starting with 260z"s? The 240z FSM's indicate 23.1 to 31.1 ft-lb.

license plate wire path
You're very welcome. Glad I could help.

license plate wire path
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

'70 near Portland # HLS3003543
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.

Need small amt. of black firewall insulator material
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.

Interpart louver key
At the request of @brigtek23 I have created 3D Cad Models of the Interpart lock parts and uploaded the to our downloads section here:

Interpart Lift Louvre Lock Assembly
- 720 downloads
- Version 1.0.1
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 -
Headlight lense polishing
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.

Which Balance Tube Do I Have & Which One Should I Have
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

Seat belt
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
