nix240z Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share #73 Posted December 15, 2013 (edited) Machined up a early type original speedo cable grommet, just have to clean it up a little with some fine sanding. The previous picture I posted, of the speedo grommet is from a new Nissan cable that I purchased back in the early 90's. I machined it with some meat in the center so it can be cut and then glued back in place. I Dont think it will stretch over the ends of the cable but I will try and do it. The good thing about this grommet is that it will also be machined into the Radio antenna drain tube grommet in the left rear wheel well area. should be done in about a week. I'm pretty sure my speedo grommet is different. It looks like a standard grommet not extruded like that. I'll take a picture of my old speedo cable w/grommet when I get home.

nix240z Posted December 21, 2013 Author Share #75 Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) In less than a week we have the door lock mechanism small rubber reproductions. Getting the main tumbler installed is a tight fit but it was done. There have been threads about these rubber pieces missing and making the doors not close correctly. 90% of the time these pieces are missing or damaged on the door lock mechanism. Perfect timing Steve!I'd been meaning to ask for this piece for a while and you've already done it! The list of pieces on my order to you grows larger. I've sent a PM to several members to drum up interest for the door latch rubber and wiper linkage boot reproductions I inquired about to you. (attached) Please keep up the great work you are doing reproducing the bits and pieces that have no replacement part number or source! Jim D.

Marty Rogan Posted December 27, 2013 Share #81 Posted December 27, 2013 Steve,I must commend you on producing these parts for the Z community. They look great.I am interested in the rocker plugs. Just to be sure: are these to plug the hole in the upper part of the rocker, next to the Silver sill plate that says "Datsun" on it?Marty Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/46317-240z-fuel-and-brake-line-insulator-sets-and-steering-rack-expansion-reservoir/?page=7#findComment-438580 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nix240z Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share #82 Posted December 27, 2013 Marty , the plugs are on the underside of the rocker panels, two on each side front and rear. You will have to get on the ground and look up to see the holes. Steve Steve,I must commend you on producing these parts for the Z community. They look great. I am interested in the rocker plugs.

nix240z Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share #84 Posted December 30, 2013 I have a complete set of Blemish (Blems) insulators with small imperfections for sale at $75 shipped. The imperfections will really not be seen once installed on the car. If anyone is interested send me a PM. I figured I would try them here first, before I put them up on the website for sale.SteveDatsun 240z rubber parts Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/46317-240z-fuel-and-brake-line-insulator-sets-and-steering-rack-expansion-reservoir/?page=7#findComment-438728 Share on other sites More sharing options...
