Choppers 510

[Grahem]

i read more than i type, to reuse the stock metal wiper blade on my 620 i bought a new set of blades and carefully removed the rubber and installed it in the stock blade it was a pain in the ass, luckily i only drive that truck in the summer and i haven't changed the rubber in 5 yrs lol.

 

thanks again Mike for the 4 speed now i just need to find the time to install it.

This ^^^ I did the same thing with bosch wiper blades into my chrome wiper blades, just make sure you get the right length :thumbup:

[datzenmike]

I bought just the rubber refills and trimmed to length. About $3 for both. Way better than $8 each!!!!!! for crappy plastic shit.

well if things go right I should be driving my 510 in about 3 - 4 weeks, I found someone to help me with the required welding

[datzenmike]

'bout time!

[Z chopper]

hey mike for those rims do I need special lug nuts?

[datzenmike]

I don't know, never thought of it.

[I'm BLUE]

what wheels ?

[Z chopper]

13" slotted rims

 

I'll get a pic later

[I'm BLUE]

13" slotted rims

 

pics ?

 

If they are aluminum slotted-mags ,,, yes you need mag-lug nuts

Rock-Auto sells them for my 240z .. I think $4.04 a piece (1) .. (10+) $3.98 a piece

Many local tire shops do as well ( get ready for a price hit .. sometimes reasonable though )

I have 14" slotted mags on my 240z

[Z chopper]

figured I'd need mag-lug nuts

[Guest 510kamikazifreak]

The lug nuts that are on the car now(the gold mesh wheels) should work

Unless they are the unilug et type(pita to find the washers )

[datzenmike]

Try wrecking yards. Ask at the counted. Sometimes they have buckets of nuts.

[Z chopper]

hmmm gonna have to check for thread and pitch

[Draynor]

I got 16 from a local family owned tire shop for $25. Maybe try somewhere like that if there is one nearby.

[Guest 510kamikazifreak]

12X1.25 and if the non unilug, they will be long shank

[Z chopper]

 

 

oval lug holes would be non-unilug?

[Guest 510kamikazifreak]

Those tare the "other" unilug.

No special washer is required, Just the long shank and flat mag washer.

Try one on with the lug nuts that are on the car now.

That will tell you

recently noticed the speaker area in the top centre of the dash, before I go start pulling my dash apart does anyone know what size speaker can fit in there? (72 510)

[merlin]

probably a 3 by 5 seemed to be pretty common.

just found some pics on datsun510.com with measurments 4x6

sad day for me yesterday I had to sell my 510 as there was no way I was gonna have it in the condition required for a cross country drive.

 

But I feel good about the new owner his wife's first car was a 510 and his 3rd car was a 510. He should be joining here soon I hope.
