  1. I used a SPECTRA 720 Standard frame / bed tank for my 79 King Cab The nuts on the front have to be cut off but ALL the holes line up. The 4x4 hangs down lower than a standard due to increased volume I covered the tank in flex seal after a good coat of enamel
  2. Yeah I have the online parts manual with the numbers in it. That is how I found all the wonderful NOS OEM from UAE & Japan. I have searched the Ball Joint bar # with no luck I have had people tell me the older KP bars will work and I have had people tell me they won't. Someone told me a 720 would fit, nope, lucky I only have 30 bucks in it. I pressed out the studs, sandblasted the hubs after degreasing, plated the studs & nuts w/ zinc I'm ready to get some wheels back on. These are the only non Japanese parts I bought for the front. USA is OK for me NOS bump stops & ALL new steering, bushings, all Japanese rubber All 555 Japan Steering / Ball Joints This will be a non bastardized 620. I try to use all Japanese made parts
  3. I have a 79 KC and have never seen a bar on a ball joint front end. I tried a late 720 and the width is correct but it does not go forward enough. It's only about 8-1/2" What is the reason why the Kingpin won't work on the Ball joint? I heard it hits something but then someone else says the older ones will fit. I do know a 720 has the same 37-1/2" center to center of eyelet I Want A Stock bar For A Ball Joint Front End, Where Do You Get One? I Want a Stock Nissan Part
  4. I came here to ask the question : Where is the factory setting ? I removed them thinking this info would be in my manual. I have them down like in the pic with enough thread to get one nut on.... Is this the factory setting? I am working with an Ebay seller for him to make a 620 grommet kit. A couple will fit the firewall I have one nut on the rods, I will have to add another pic later, it's night and about to rain AGAIN
  5. Where in the hell can you find the rubber?

    78-79 trim needs to be black since they use a different grill. Someone in Mexico was making them in stainless. I have not been able to find them again. My original got lost in a divorce and the one I have looks like lace since there is so many rust holes in. The trick to getting the nuts off is to use a round wire brush on a drill to clean the threads then wd40 it
  9. With all the Z car guys here, which one knows the size of the main harness panel hole for grommet?
  10. This one is getting made for Right side for LHD 78-79 ONLY There are Japanese made speedo cables on Ebay right now that have the grommet on them Most of the Thai are said to arrive with no grommet. The fiberglass tubes work on the front part of the front parking brake cable. I am trying to rebuild / restore the cables & the boots......Where do you get some replacement boots? Porsche are close to the rears. Motorcycle boots are too small for the rear of the front cable. HELP !!!!!! The cables are one of the first things to go back on
  11. Yeah, I don't think it it for a 42 mm panel hole. It looks the same as 620 I used the Z car hood cable & speedo cable & Z car heater hose grommets for Z car on my 620 I have used a LOT of OEM Z car parts on my 620 Summit racing sells the heater hose grommets advertised for Z cars since that is the only car Datsun made, besides the 510 I found all the frame grommets and was trying to work with vendors on Ebay to make a kit, but I haven't found a vendor who carries them all. It's only 4 or 5 different sizes for the frame Like Hoffman's book, " Steal These Pictures " Measurements were done with older caliper so they are correct ( + - ) 1 mm
  12. It's OK, There are a LOT of Z car parts that will fit a 620 and a lot are now NLA since I told everyone where to get 620 parts. Sellers on Ebay have OEM stuff listed as fitting Z cars and no mention of fitting anything else. If you know Datsun, you know better. I just ordered some more stuff from Z Car Depot again for my 620 and I always buy 2 of everything I can so there goes more demand on the Z car parts availability = NLA and more parts unavailable to Z cars.
