72 240 z choke control knob wanted

[dkd021]

I had no trouble finding one on eBay for my 72 Z. I think you'd find that Courtesy will charge no less than $6-8 for shipping ANYTHING.

Really? Like the one in the pic from Courtesy? I'd like for you to send me links to at least two in the past month. The problem is, I don't think you can. And so if it's a new part for less than $15 anyway, do you really expect to pay less buying a used one from Ebay? Come on guy, that's not reality.

Maybe it's your search criteria that's limiting your "findings".

Instead of being confrontational, and downright RUDE, you might re-phrase your comments to: "Geez, I've not been able to find it on e-bay, could someone help me find one?". Instead of forging a "problem" that is only problematic to YOU.

Besides, having already been given the information as to it's availability from Courtesy, why would you be worried if someone wants to buy it for less? Go buy it from Courtesy, or wait "in the fullness of time" to buy it cheaper on e-Bay.

Sorry, but your reality check seems to have failed.

I haven't been keeping track of them, since I bought mine (as a spare) sometime in late 2003. I have seen them periodically though, but since I now have two of them I haven't paid much attention to them. It's certainly possible that there haven't been any in the past month, but they do appear from time to time. FWIW, I couldn't be bothered to "prove" anythng to you. If you don't believe that I bought mine on eBay, that's your perogitive, but it doesn't change the reality of the situation.

Everyone is on a different budget, so perhaps a savings of $5 may make a difference to someone. The one that I purchased cost me about $10 delivered. There are sellers of NEW parts (just like Courtesy) and sellers of USED parts on eBay and they don't ONLY sell the "rare" early parts (exclusively). Claiming that ONLY the "early" choke knob can be found on eBay is misleading and simply not true.

In case anyone else is interested, there are at least two different sizes of Choke Knob set screws used in the 240Z years. See attachment. (parts purchased on eBay!)

Thank you for having an example of what I described above!!!

Yep, I found out the difference just like you did. Figured this was a good time to document the differences.

I have a Choke lever assembly for the early type and one of the later types as well, so I'm stocked in case I get another (earlier) Z that needs parts.
