The holes on my rear bumperette are round (verses the square holes I have seen on other bumperettes).

All the rubber cushions I have seen have the square plug mounting point.

Has anyone found a rubber cushion with a round plug?

Thanks,

Keith

Good color choice:

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.

Steve,

When you have completed Mighty Mouse would you consider helping with the US aging infrastructure? I know your talents would ensure that the bridges are straight and the strong!

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.

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

I'm saving the 1966 dust and tire air for posterity.
