Hello. Just Joined

Post by Ironhobbit »

Hello,
I just joined your club. I have had three 510s. All 2 doors. Two ‘72s and the late ’69 that I’m finishing.
Bought it in 1984 from ABC Datsun, Phoenix AZ., where I was working at the time. While going to school. It was traded in, and I purchased from a wholesaler.

I’m in the home stretch on reassembly. I would like to know if anyone has a good source for the shaft spring clips and spacers for the wiper pivot and linkage?

Welcome. I have had my 69 just a slight bit longer than that, and hope to get it all back together next year.

I was not able to find any wave washers thin enough to match the original when I did this. I reused those I had and on one was able to use a bit thicker one and still get clip retention.

For the clips, are you referring to those horseshoe shaped clips? I used regular E-clips for those that I was able to find that matched the diameter (maybe 5mm, I don't recall).

Good info here as well (Stu does great documentation): viewtopic.php?f=3&t=32564&start=150#p287802
