Mr Big Tanker's watermelon wagon.

The goods are rolling in. Sweet snap-on handle! This thing is sick man, just sick. I definitely need to get a better job to keep up. Nice work!

[fisch]

Sick Tanker. Pleasure to follow as always!

I can't imagine clicking the buy button on NOS hoses.

And then for fun my custom Tag for my Snap On box and some junk i just got. NOS hoses whens the last time you saw those.

Now that's what I need is a nice BIG tool box to organize my tools.

Considering new rubber Gates hoses are available anywhere... I was happy to see a 510 specific lower hose was available.

And I'd be a little worried about an NOS hose. If it's 10-15 years old, it may be too dry-rotted to be trusted...

The hose looks like it just came off the assembly line.

[datsunfreak]

Well, is it NOS or just factory Nissan?   ^_^

 

Although I get the feeling the braided hose stopped awhile ago...

They are factory NOS hoses.

 

I also just got NOS rear cargo and windshield rubbers also. And the one for the under hood by rhe cowl

When you seldom drive your Datsun, it doesn't matter if the hoses are no good, as long as it's NOS

It's true. Were you planning on putting coolant in this car?

[mrbigtanker]

Funny guys. But so true. And I don't know if I will ever put coolant back in.

[shacks510]

I got a hood seal from an e30 but it's a little too thick. The hood bows up in the middle when it's latched.

Evans waterless?

You know the O in NOS means OLD right?  :rofl:

[shacks510]

Sometimes NOS parts aren't worth it. Would you drive on "NOS" bias ply tires from 1970? I wouldn't use an old rad hose either, even if it looks ok. I had a hose on my L16 that looked perfectly fine, but it popped once the there was pressure in the cooling system. Luckily it was in my driveway. If parts that can wear out are available new, use them.

 

Just my two Lincoln's.

[Draker]

I've got a NOS upper hose. It was in the package and still nice and pliable. Like new rubber.. nothin to worry about.

[Draker]

Keeping in mind... it's not from 69.. it's probably from the 80s

Exactly.

[edekalil]

Although the NOS hose's are very nice I would use brand new ones for your build. Just the way I am with that stuff. Or just keep a couple of gallons of water and a new set of hoses and a screwdriver on hand in the car if you ever need it. Being stranded is no fun NOS or NOT. Loving your build Tanker, Happy T Day.

So it's only 30 years old...    :rofl:

Happy thanksgiving to you to.

Don't ask how much. Just glad to have them.

Hello there

[mrbigtanker]

 

So doing a crank trigger is more work then i thought. But its moving in the right direction. The crank pulley is ment for a 240Z so the sheave for the belt is closer to the timing chain cover then on a standard L block or 4 cylinder. so new 240z water pump and a water pump pulley made by none other then DatRod and its a done deal. Just got get my Alternator bracket.
