Always contact a Nissan dealer first, many parts are still available for the 240Z. Be wary of used electrical parts, oftentimes the only way to properly test them is to install them on a running vehicle. Keith

Both Dorman and NAPA offer replacement hinge pins. Keith

Consider having Sherwin Williams color match the paint in their quart oil enamel gloss. Then use Preval (http://www.homedepot.com/p/Preval-9-oz-Complete-Spray-Gun-267/202533738) to apply. Keith

The holes on my rear bumperette are round (verses the square holes I have seen on other bumperettes). https://www.flickr.com/photos/53116286@N07/34242662086/in/album-72157625809569365/ All the rubber cushions I have seen have the square plug mounting point. https://www.flickr.com/photos/53116286@N07/34242662476/in/album-72157625809569365/ Has anyone found a rubber cushion with a round plug? Thanks, Keith

Take your head to a rebuilder. A used head you buy may be in worse shape than the one on your truck. Once the engine shop tells you what you need, springs, seats, valves, rocker arms, etc. this form can help you locate the parts.

Glad to see ya'll engaged in Datsun minutiae. Keith

Much better image, thanks.

That's the bracket. It would be nice to see it in a larger, better defined photo!!!

Does anyone have a photo of the air cleaner bracket (Item 21 at https://www.carpartsmanual.com/datsun/pickup-1965-1972/engine-1300-(j13)/air-cleaner#PhotoSwipe1485828074783) installed on their 520? Thanks, Keith

Your efforts and success are commendable. A true labor of love. Keith

I am having a difficult time visualizing how the hood safety catch is installed with the spring adding tension to the catch. There are three components (http://www.carpartsmanual.com/datsun/pickup-1965-1972/body/hood-lock) Items 1, 2, and 3. How is the spring positioned to offer tension in keeping the catch engaged? Thanks, Keith
