KlassicMotion Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Awesome timing!! I was just going to pull out the Datsun manual and look at the schematics they give to make this tool out of wood. I have to do a head gasket soon and I'd rather not spend the time to make a tool, so I will contact them now!! Thanks 2 Quote Link to comment
KlassicMotion Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Damn you! They are out of stock!! You must have gotten the last one. Back to making one! I guess I will backorder one anyways, because they look so cool. Quote Link to comment
KlassicMotion Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Sears sells the same part number for $65! Quote Link to comment
DaBlist Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 You should have made us guess first Just need to qualify for Bananahamuck's sake that it has nothing to do with a body orifice 1 Quote Link to comment
Ratwagon1600 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Bought a similar one from Strap on (Blue Point) about 15 years ago. Can't remember what I paid for it at the time but it wasn't too pricey. And FWIW, couldn't agree more, a must have accessory for the toolbox. Quote Link to comment

Kirden Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Ordered this tool, how to modify your nissan/datsun, and how to rebuild your nissan/datsun. $37 shipped. Man I love amazon :P Quote Link to comment

The price is higher, and they jacked up the shipping because I'm in Alaska. $21 for shipping! I bent over and took it, because I'd rather spend the money for a cool looking tool than make my own. I wish companies would use the Post Office more. With flat rate, things to Alaska can cost a lot less, but most companies only use UPS and FedEx. :( Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted June 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 its cus the USPS isnt reliable and charges more for tracking which is crucial to business delivery, trust me i run a shipping dept at work. Quote Link to comment
darrel Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Motorsport Auto has a tool as well. Different shape. I have both, but haven't had the opportunity to use either of them yet. http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/TE/60-9921 Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted June 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 i dont think i could buy that one simply on the principle that i have too many friends that wrench with me and id never hear the end of my garage dildo 2 Quote Link to comment
darrel Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Just tell them it's your's and they can't use it. Quote Link to comment

MikeRL411 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Touche' Well, she's stuck with me for 50 years so I must have done something right. Oh, yes. I bought her the 1967 RL411! 1 Quote Link to comment
fivetengarage Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Here is a pretty fancy tool by thexton(part # 438).Drop it in and turn the upper nut to move the bottom lever putting pressure on the tensioner. 1 Quote Link to comment
KlassicMotion Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 If you own a Datsun, the best thing you should have is an understanding wife! It took my wife 1 year and three different 510's before she started coming around to the looks. Mind you her cars have been a '78 Camaro, '65 Mustang, '76 Mini, and currently a '76 Bronco.

blue72 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 I have the MSA version of that tool. I've used it a couple of times and it seems to do what it is supposed to as long as its pushed all the way down. Quote Link to comment
Rhapakatui Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 That pic belongs in the car porn thread. I agree that, no matter how well it works, I couldn't put it in my tool box. 1 Quote Link to comment
KlassicMotion Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Yeah, I'm sure it fits in the tool box better, but I just couldn't have a dildo with a string attached to it in my Box. 2 Quote Link to comment
KlassicMotion Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 "I've used it a couple of times and it seems to do what it is supposed to as long as its pushed all the way down." That's what she said. Quote Link to comment
