rosso Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 I am liking your red interior more and more - normally I'm not a fan of red - in your wagon - wow. Curious, what is the transmission tunnel shifter cover you have? Looks like a stock cover from some Datsun, I will need something for mine soon. Thanks. 2 Quote Link to comment

I got a 620 cover as it’s longer and shaped to conform the tunnel and all good in the hood.and the stock rubber boot fits perfect. Almost like I know what I am doing. wait till it’s done the interior will be cool. 2 Quote Link to comment
rosso Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 Thanks, I jumped on fleabay and found one - so I snatched it. My shifter may be a bit farther back than yours but the cover plate is the biggest and closest fit I have seen - so I may need to mod it a bit. Looking forward to having the trans tunnel sealed up. 2 Quote Link to comment

I take it you taped a thread in the part that feeds the heater coil to fit the plug, cool. Did you put a plug in the head where the connector is for the return to the head. Quote Link to comment

Duncan Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 (edited) The passenger side of the hood needs a bit of love. I'd check to see if the rubber cushion is possibly in wrong or interfering in some way.. It's sticking up quite a bit. If not, I can help you go completely medieval on it. We can show that bitch who's boss! Looks great, regardless... Edited August 2, 2021 by Duncan 1 Quote Link to comment

I think I have all three if pics & measurements would help! PM if wanted! TJ 1 Quote Link to comment
