Hello,

I am in deperate need of heater control panel any progress in that arena?

The morons at my insurance company are trying to TOTAL my car because of a smashed Heater control panel and a stolen stereo system and they are too lame to locate parts and wont accept used or allow me to do the labor!!

I am pursuing a used one but new or NOS would be brilliant, I could save the used parts for another day orZ. Also looking for an insurance company with a brain.

Best,

Any chance you could make the driver's door pin for the 1972 240Z? Or does anyone know where I can find one? They're NLA and mine is broken.

Have you checked with Ejji at Datsun Spirit? He has had them before, also the '73 version is still available from your local dealer-if they aren't "too busy" to check. If you get stuck, I have several used ones in decent shape, or I can order you a new '73 for my cost plus shipping-it fits exactly right and looks like it belongs, but it is a bit different...

As for the Insurance company with a brain...I think that is coming up in the new episode of MythBusters...

So far I have not made the washer that goes next to the paint, but the semi-spherical piece above it. I have several of those, I will put that in the next mold run-I probably should offer that with the semi-spherical piece....

Thanks Mate!

Found a couple of parts I needed!

Shouldnt be difficult to bust the myth of insurance company with brains, these are apparently mutually exclusive terms.

Will,

Actually, on the early antennas, the piece I need is the black plastic washer that sits on top of the semi-spherical chrome piece. On my antenna, looking at the parts from the paint, up, first is the rubber washer with a lip, then the black rubber semi-spherical rubber piece, then the chrome semi-spherical piece which partially covers the last piece, then the black plastic washer that I am looking for, then the chrome nut with a black plastic collar around the top of the nut.

Sorry I don't have a picture.

Sorry I don't have a picture.

I didn't have a picture either, but since both the camera and the antenna are easy to get to...

Arne,

Thanks for the backup on the picture. The part I am in need of is that black plastic washer under the chrome nut, and am not sure if that is on Will's

to-do list.

Dan,

Nope that wasn't on the list, but it is now-my example looks thinner than in the picture...consensus?

Will

It twisted a bit in the pic, but the one I have is exactly 7/32" thick.
