Now that I'm in TX, that makes 3?  Or were you counting mine already?  :w00t:

You were in the count!

There may be air being drawn in at the point where the glass bowl meets the housing. Try replacing the gasket with Tisco Gasket & Screen Kit, 70245941 9http://www.tractorsupply.com/en/store/screen-amp%3B-gasket-kit-allis-chalmers-case-john-deere)

Thank you for posting the details of your efforts, it certainly looks good.

Did you use an aerosol epoxy primer?

Keith

Daniel,

What color LED bulb did you use?

Also, one of my bulb sockets broke. Do you know if replacements are available?

Keith

Thank you.

Does anyone have the Sylvania or GE bulb number for the 520/521 instrument panel bulbs?

The parts manual lists the Nissan number as 26261-30100 (five required at 1.5 watt) and 26261-58000 or 26261-10600 or 26713-89900 (four required at 3.0 watt).

There is a great write-up on replacing with LEDs, however I prefer to keep the vehicle stock.

I need a pair of door hinge springs, sun visors, rear view mirror, tailgate chains and hub caps.

Thanks,

Keith

It is unfortunate how the drip channels on the Patrols seem to collect moisture and rot the roof panel. Perhaps Patrols should always be parked at a severe incline and a small drip hole should be installed at a corner.

Charlie69,

If there are at least four in Arizona, then you have double to population of Texas.

Does anyone have a photo of the correct cover?

Thanks,

Datsunrides,

Very nice.

Z chopper,

Were trim rings a factory option?

Good to see you posting on Ratsun.

Keith

Welcome. What part of Texas are you in?

Keith

The threaded hole in my 1966 520, J13 block is 1/4"x18 fine thread. 

I just measured 25251-30100 to be 3/8"x18 fine thread.

Therefore, the threaded block hole is a smaller diameter than the suggested nut.

Has anyone else found an nut (locking collar) that fits the J13 engine?

Thanks,

Keith

I have a set of new window sweeps, aftermarket windhsield, and used/ universal door seals for sale. PM me your email address and I will email photos.

Keith

Now to the big Question:

Keith
