Patcon Posted March 16, 2015 Share #13 Posted March 16, 2015 As an aside, If I am looking at the pedals right, the fuel is on the far left and the clutch is on the far right. Is that how all RH drive cars are?Charles Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/50873-1973-datsun-240k-c110-hardtop-group-c-race-car/?page=2#findComment-465707 Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroDat Posted March 16, 2015 Share #14 Posted March 16, 2015 Charles,Looks like a foot support. Fuel and clutch pedals are the same LH drive vehicles. The fuel pedal is next to the door. You do get some car makers that mount the indicators on inside of the steering column towards the passenger. Probably to reduce different parts and manufacture one type of steering column.I have yet to see one the other way. It would be challenging to drive.Chas Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/50873-1973-datsun-240k-c110-hardtop-group-c-race-car/?page=2#findComment-465713 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patcon Posted March 17, 2015 Share #15 Posted March 17, 2015 Thanks Chas,I thought they were the same, but the picture threw me off. I was thinking that would be really hard to drive if the pedals were different...Charles Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/50873-1973-datsun-240k-c110-hardtop-group-c-race-car/?page=2#findComment-465733 Share on other sites More sharing options...

240k Style Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share #19 Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) Ok i managed to source a Weber 48 IDA for the car. I need to still pick up the original race manifold from a guy a know, becuase that has the adaptor plate for it. If you see the earlier photos in the thread, the original manifold is the top "T" piece manifold, not the long runner GT style one. I want to modify the long runner style one for better flow into the intakes. It's an ITALIAN one too, so I'm stoked! Much better than the spanish equvilant. The build quality is much superior with finer tolerences. And as a bonus it came off a big port 13B rotary race motor. I'll need to check the jets/emulsion tubes/venturi/choke specs etc etc but it's already modified with the return spring on the throttle arm. I'll have a look at it for wear before deciding if I'll refurbish them myself (with some hydro blasting) or send to a great carb shop i know. Some refurbished 48 IDA's (a pair can reach $2500 AUD!!!!! :shock: ) But this was the last major peice of the puzzle to return the car back to period specifications. All the other bits I'll need I can "borrow" from my other blue 240K sedan. The cruiser gets some go fast bits and the race car gets factory, period specific "modified" parts for it. I recently caught up with some mates while checking out how the bodywork is coming on. Thats all for now Edited March 24, 2015 by 240K Style Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/50873-1973-datsun-240k-c110-hardtop-group-c-race-car/?page=2#findComment-466293 Share on other sites More sharing options...
