Socalman Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 I am not running one because I have a gps speedometer. I see it’s leaked some, will it continue leaking? Do I need to find a way to plug it? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 26 Report Share Posted July 26 I cut the speedometer cable and slid the cast piece shown on far left off. Filled the open end with JB Weld. When hard I screwed it on to keep dirt out and any oil in. Worked just fine. Quote Link to comment

mrbigtanker Posted July 28 Report Share Posted July 28 (edited) It's a AN-10 I believe you can just cap it. Edited July 28 by mrbigtanker Quote Link to comment

yenpit Posted July 30 Report Share Posted July 30 Nissan actually has a factory PLUG, iirc it was for the early 720 4WD, cuz the speedo pick up was in the transfer case! We were making a plug on the lathe, for our vintage race Z cars, that did not use a speedo....................but don't forget, you need a "groove" cut in, for an oring. Might as well use the factory oring, same as with speedo housing vs 720 4WD plug! 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 30 Report Share Posted July 30 You could gut the pinion from the sleeve and plug with JB Weld. Lots of options. 1 Quote Link to comment
Socalman Posted July 30 Author Report Share Posted July 30 (edited) I’ve already cut the cable and plugged it with jb weld. Will drive it to work tomorrow and check for leaks… Edited July 30 by Socalman 1 Quote Link to comment

I don't know, but his website was still up, last time I checked. Yep - https://www.dpracing.co/ He beat me to the punch on the brake fluid reservoir. The one he sells is very similar to the ones used in the BRE cars. I had planned on making them to sell. 1 Quote Link to comment
