How can I help save this car?

mrbigtanker,

Kip Motors (http://www.kipmotor.com/Parts/Moulded-rubber.htm) can duplicate the vent window gaskets. (I have seen the ones they make for Metropolitans and the quality is excellent.)

You may want to call them and determine costs and minimum quantity requirements.

Stoffregen Motorsports,

I have purchased numerous parts from Kip Motors. In fact, I asked them to quote a 240Z part. (see http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/thread41722.html).

If you call them and make a preliminary inquiry about the 320 vent rubber I will help you coordinate the distribution of the parts. (I hope that if they can produce the 320 perhaps they could use the extrusion for a 520 rubber.)

Let me know if you need a J13 valve cover. I have an extra one that has rust holes. (My body shop offered to lead in the holes, but I used an extra I have on the shelf.)

I just started the article, nicely done. Any photos of a Patrol L60 or PL520 Truck would be great to see.

What part of DFW are you in?

Keith

I need both DS & PS. Are they black or dark navy blue (its hard to tell from the photos)?

Are you planning to sell the seat belt assemblies?

Keith

Photos?

Any updates on the Patrol?

Do the chains look lik these?

If so, are they available for sale?

Thanks,

I am refinishing the heater box and after I removed the heater core I noted that there was black foam between the core and the box.

I presume that the foam serves as both insulation and an anti-rattle barrier.

After searching the internet for aftermarket foam substitutes, I stumbled upon the Dow Great Stuff product. The yellow product is available at local home builder warehouses. The GREAT STUFF™ Pond & Stone (http://greatstuff.dow.com/products/pond-and-stone/) is the same product in black. I spoke to a Dow representative and was told that all Great Stuff products are stable up to 240 degrees Fahrenheit.

Has anyone found a substitute for the factory black foam?

Has anyone used Great Stuff at higher temperature?

Thanks,

Keith

In hindsight, what type/brand of glue should be used?

Thanks,

Keith

I attempted to order from Courtesy Nissan, but was told they are NLA. (They checked the national dealer database and no dealer has them available.)

Datsun 520 and 410 transmission case boots

Looking for a suitable substitution for the

Transmission Boot - Rubber – vented (30543-01301) – Item 22 in Illustration below

Clutch slave cover boot (30542-30000 or 30542-08700) – photo below

These are specific for the F4W63A transmission found on the J13 engine vehicles. (The holes in the transmission case are oval, rather than rectangular found on the L series transmission.)

Thanks,

Keith
