There should be a spacer about 1/4 inch thick between the center clamp amd the top. If it's missing, it will cause 2 things: 1 The top will be very hard to latch, because it is trying to pull too tig
I have a complete 69 frame in New Jersey, was given to me for free, so it's yours if you want to come get it. Dave Anyone out there have a junker frame? The PO did some creative "trimming" on my 67.5
A good set of lights, whatever you choose will still need more power. Victoria British sells a relay and harness kit, around $30.00. Heavy gauge wire, 2 relays, plugs into the factory harness. I've s
I started doing this on my 69 2000. First thing is relocating the washer pump and reservior, fits nicley in the pass front corner if you remove the fuel filter bracket. There is very little room betw
Someone please correct me if I am wrong... As far as I know, racing belts are not DOT approved. Also, unless you have a proper anchor at shoulder level behind the seats, I've been told the shoulder h
So, the big question, do you get one sticker per plug, or just one sticker per set. And are they multi color, or the outline ones? The # of stickers could be a variable in the equation also, S. If th
Paint it EXACTLY the same as the other Roadster, never park them close enough to see both cars at once. For real, the grey sounds nice. Gotta have a red interior especially if it's for her. BTW, you
Considering I have 1,452 unread emails in my inbox, most of which is Roadster list mail accumulated since August, maybe a short break is not such a bad thing ;) ______________________________________
For $30,000 I can make ANY engine fit :) That does look cool though. IMHO For about 60-80 pounds more engine weight, same horse power and $20.000 less you could do a Rover V8 twice the displacment T5
According to the speedometer in the photo, 90MPH when the gauge froze. I'm guessing that was just before the car got airborn, pass door first into the middle tree. Funny, the left taillight survived,
That's Brilliant! It takes the bad trait of brake fluid and puts it to good use. You mentioned model builders, do you know if it's plastic or vinyl safe? You might try a chemical stripper first. In t
Were it me, I would get the top to line up and clamp properly without the weatherstrip, and then try with it. If you paid someone to install this, let them deal with it or get a refund. I don't know
A Tropical +20 deg here today, but back up to 40 this weekend. I make my Wife watch Barrett Jackson, makes my fleet seem cheap! Wait til the day someone rolls a Datsun across the block on national TV
Looks like a 69 with 70 fenders. Has the dash knobs with words not icons, mostly. Could also be a parts bin special, from the factory or later in life. Dave Brisco --Original Message-- No '69 teardro
I have the same jack, Harbor Freight sells it also. There are some smaller ones, but they are heavier. I haven't used my big 2 1/2 ton since I got the little one. Best to store it upright, not on it'
A bit off the topic, but for reference, I have the old style comps front and rear on my 69 2000. I'm assuming they are the old style, the car was last on the road in the early 90'sand sat for years b
I did a GM conversion also, but I left the alternator on the drivers side. Plenty of room, no fabrication. Just need a longer belt. I used a Corvette alternator, slightly larger deep groove pullyWas
I was thinking the same thing. Craigslist is too local, and the message boards are very "local" in the cyber sense. 311's has a classified, but I think Ebay has the challenge of the hunt for the buye
That's what it's all about, opinions. The price you got makes it worth the fees. Not always the case, but when it works, it works Dave first of all, i'm not defending or decrying anyone here. just my
Dammit!, I had to go and see the 2000GT again, like Datsuns haven't gotten me in enough trouble!! Nice clip. Dave Brisco ECR This is what I meant for you fellas to see www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACod9_G
