Nice buy Andrew! Getting harder & harder to find these days............

Plan a stop in Denver if you are physically picking them up!

Can you post a pic of what you are looking for, or are you just looking for a mesh STYLE wheel, similar to a Riken model?

Don't think they are the same as Z! I do have complete stock 510 rear control arms available. I also have a pair of control arms that somebody with a welder thought they could build a better rear coilover & disc brake setup, but I can't identify the brake parts to replace, so kinda only worth the se...

Wow, GREAT write up! Might you build more & sell? I would never even attempt to do this kind of electrical work, but would buy if it would work on a CA18DET in a 510!

I wonder if the speedo "lens" is the same? If it is, I will have a spare speedo lens!

Nice project! So did you actually use the Wolfe Steel rear 1/4 panel on the passenger side? I bought a pair of their rear LOWER patch panels a couple years back, and they were HORRIBLE...........I sold them off for whatever I could get, ordered up the Australian patch panels, so much nicer fit!!

WOW!!!!!! 8) This is GREAT info for track cars especially! With some drivers, we run out of negative camber adjustment on our vintage race 240Z's, we are NOT allowed to run adjustable lower control arms in MOST groups, so time to do some research on using a different struts! I heard that the SCCA 51...

Yup, the biggest issue with using heavy sound deadening material on the roof on ANY classic car with a vinyl headliner, is if that material de-laminates and drops, you will see it weighing down on the headliner material. Make sure that stuff is stuck GOOD!!

I have in Colorado, but shipping into CDN is expensive, yes? If you don't find in BC, PM me!

TJ

Yes, I think 4 of 5 positions have THREE holes in a triangular shape, I think one position only has one hole. My guess is that the OEM headliner production had a tolerance, like maybe the bow "loops" could be slightly different than another......?? Thus during assembly, they would potentially move t...

Nah, I'll just send velvethammer to Nathan!

I will be in OC in February (no set date yet) working on the house & think we will visit SS, will let you know! Hope all is well!

RMS yup, it's a nice cast aluminum bracket that should bolt up to all of the 6cyl L series! FYI the 4cyl vs the 6cyl bolt pattern cast into the front DRIVERS side of the blocks for accessories ARE different. I bet somebody could make it work on a 4cyl, but again, should fit all 6cyl!

TJ

Dave do you think Nathan's bracket could be used to adapt an alternator on the DRIVERS side with some lighter mods and/or another adapter? velvethammer is looking to do this in his thread on an L20B, which has a different cast bolt pattern on the block than the L16/L18............

One section in between the headliner bows should be plenty......great idea! Wonder if the "direction" of the pattern is an issue? I think the same way, have hoarded lots of silly 510 stuff like an old headliner! See what turns up in Canada, let me know if you can't find, will work something out! TJ ...

On a 240Z L24 6cyl we used a ZX cast aluminum AC bracket (earlier Z is heavy cast iron!), made a simple spacer to adapt the compressor, hung a NEW Sanden AC compressor (SO MUCH more efficient that the original York gigantic monster POS compressor!), flipped the dealer installed condenser so both lin...

Likely fabricate, but maybe you can start with either an air pump bracket or a Z car AC bracket (the 510 AC brackets are kinda hard to find.........more Z's got AC than 510's!). Both are DRIVERS side of block. I do have a 510 flat steel crude welded factory OEM air pump bracket AND a ZX cast aluminu...
