dat521gatherer, I am interested in the second pair in photo http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj172/dat521gatherer/datsun%20521%20spare% How much do you want for the pair (my business address shipping Zip Code is 75075)? Thanks, Keith

Keep me in mind if you ever find a pair for sale. Thanks, Keith

Looks great. Did you use an aerosol paint for the wheels? If so, what is the brand and color? Thanks, Keith

Does anyone have a photo of the original tail gate chain & latch? Is the chain link welded to the truck bed loop? That is the length of the chain? Is the chain threaded in a plastic/rubber sheaf? Thanks, Keith

The color will remain 563 Sora Blue. The seat upholstery will be black. I have finally located a oil slinger, so now I can complete the reassembly of the J13 motor.

620green, Where is the copy of the shipping receipt you said you would email me? Keith

620green, PM sent. Keith

I am rebuilding the rear brakes and need to replace the dust boots on the brake cable. There is no part number assigned to the dust boot, only the cable (which I presume includes boots. (http://www.carpartsmanual.com/datsun520/Datsun520521Index/Brake/HandBrakeLinkage/tabid/1476/Default.aspx) Has anyone found a boot that will work for this application? Thanks, Keith

Please delete

Great find!

Next time you get to a salvage yard take along a tape measure. I have heard that the Toyota and Mitsu wing windows are the same size. If so, then perhaps those parts are still available from the dealer. Keith

Here are some photos of my build: Keith

Has anyone made a purchase and specified surface, rather than air, shipping? If so, how long did it take to receive the items? (I purchased a pair of seat covers on May 13, 2011 and have not received the shipment nor a tracking number.) Thanks, Keith

OK, I have the location of the holes marked. Now I need to know the size of the 520 holes? Thanks, Keith

Would you sell me the oil slinger that resides behind the front pulley? Thanks, Keith

Sadly, still short a slinger. Keith

Fantastic! Thanks for the detailed photos! Keith
