Will Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Never again will there be uncertainty about your remaining supply of Energon. It's nice to see a good re-use of the clock location, there's always space in the console for gauges and radios too. Quote Link to comment

Skib Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 L20B looks crusty but its actually in great shape. just needs a bit of freshening up lol head is pretty clean. no terrible wear. chain slack minimal nice big ports someone ran to much water at some point... and a good amount of loose carbon but the cylinders are great. will get a top to bottom rebuild once the parts get in.

Iv always hated how most datto gas petals a. have a plastic petal that brakes leaving you with a rod. and b. there way lower then the rest of the petals making heal/toe nearly impossible. so this ones been raised and angled for some perfect heal/toe action what else.... gaskets came, bearings/rings comin soon.... glass guy will be here wed to glue in the front/rear Quote Link to comment

]2eDeYe Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Gluing as opposed to rubber gasket? If so, can you take some progress shots of the gluing? Edit: Hood looks dope. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 I think polyurethane sealer is used. It 'glues' the glass in but not really a glue. I cut a rear class out once and it's very like rubber. Makes the body incredibly rigid. The gasket type can pop out in an accident. Quote Link to comment
converted_to_datsun Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Thats exactly what i did with my clock lol, went with an oil pressure gauge. props on the speakerless door cards. Sorry to thread jack but where do you find cool old gauges like that. What cars can I get that stuff out of? Quote Link to comment

If so, can you take some progress shots of the gluing? yeah Ill be takin some pics it glues in like older american cars as oposed to the reg rop in gaskets like most dattos have. why the 710 is like that? I have no fuckin clue. but what I do know is that if I had to find a gasket for it... Id be fucked. :rofl: Sorry to thread jack but where do you find cool old gauges like that. What cars can I get that stuff out of? its an old school after market gauge. I found it in a box of parts. Quote Link to comment
