Duncan Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I really need one of these. It's an SU air cleaner bolt that's used on the dual-carb models. The size is 6mm x 1.00 Thanks! Link to comment
Moisabamf Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 have you tried the place in garden grove where the datsunlandsocal show was at? they have every bolt i could ever imagine and more:D Link to comment
ppeters914 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I'll ask on the roadster list. Link to comment
Duncan Posted December 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 have you tried the place in garden grove where the datsunlandsocal show was at? they have every bolt i could ever imagine and more:D No, that place is called Hilco Fasteners. I'm about 99% sure that is a proprietary Datsun part, but I have been meaning to stop in there. Mo, If you're interested, I know if a used 1200 sedan windshield for sale for $75.00 If you are interested, send me a pm and I'll get you the guy's contact info. I have a spare myself.

Duncan Posted December 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I'll ask on the roadster list. Thank you. I've seen them on 510's, but I think the roadsters used a different fastener. Link to comment

ppeters914 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Hmmm, where is that bolt? Does it hold the stock aircleaner housing to the carbs? Link to comment
Duncan Posted December 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Hmmm, where is that bolt? Does it hold the stock aircleaner housing to the carbs? Yep, It's the air cleaner wing bolt. I had one come loose and fall out :mad: Link to comment

Duncan Posted December 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 hook it up!:D pm sent with info.. Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 (edited) Ted had a SU aircleaner assemble just lying on the ground before his yard sale 3rd photo down in this thread orange aircleaner http://forum.ratsun.net/showthread.php?t=8104 you saftey wire them(drill small hole) or put a pull spring so there is tension always on the nuts Edited December 9, 2008 by banzai510(hainz) Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 If all else fails, Roadsters and RL411 SU air cleaners used an all thread stud and wing nut instead of this "wing bolt" configuration. It might be easier to replace the bolts with studs and but 2 wing nuts. Would look the same from outside the air cleaner assembly. 240Z rubber washer assemblies are slightly larger but fit and work just fine if you have to go this route. Link to comment
ppeters914 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 MikeRL411 beat me to it, but, yes, roadsters (both R16 and U20 motors) running SU's had a separate wing nut to stud/bolt arrangement. Ted had a SU aircleaner assemble just lying on the ground before his yard sale 3rd photo down in this thread orange aircleaner: http://forum.ratsun.net/showthread.php?t=8104 So, who got the air cleaner? :D Link to comment
Duncan Posted December 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Thanks guys, I fabbed a couple of perfectly good working replacements, but it bothers the shit out of me that I am missing the correct one. The engine is really clean, and you're dealing with Capt Anal here :eek: :D Link to comment
Moisabamf Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 i think your coupe would beg to differ:D Link to comment
Duncan Posted December 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 i think your coupe would beg to differ:D It did okay at shows, though :) just kidding here.. Did you get Andy's number? Let me know if you decide to pass on it. If you do, I'll probably buy it since they are almost impossible to find anymore. Link to comment
Moisabamf Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 yea im going to get it Link to comment

I know they are NLA from Nissan, but one will turn up sooner or later. (probably later) :cool: Link to comment
Burabuda Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 i'm sure we can find one sooner, but it'll likely be attached to the complete air cleaner assy. Link to comment
Duncan Posted December 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 i'm sure we can find one sooner, but it'll likely be attached to the complete air cleaner assy. I'm not opposed to buying spare items like that because they will ALWAYS be rare and in demand. Link to comment
