Dguy210 Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Did you see the link for the headlight wires i posted? yes thank you I was wondering if the ones on Egay for 23 were the right ones also Give Tognotti's a call they probably have them. I just built mine for the B210 using some relays and some wire, probably cost like $10 and 30 mins. Quote Link to comment

68Datsun510 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Thankfully it's a 1600 pound car on a front suspension for 3300 pound cars lol Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 There is no adjustment on the bearings. They are set to zero lash. The torque wrench is to seat the bearings, then they are backed off and finger tightened to zero torque. Quote Link to comment
Ranman72 Posted April 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 I have aalways snugged them down tight then backed them off till slightly loose then tighten and snug about 1/4 turn Quote Link to comment
