Do you need the entire pedal box or simply the clutch pedal? I ask as all the pedal boxes are setup for clutch pedal and installing it vs. the swapping the entire box is a much simpler & less time consuming task!

I have to ask, are the rears not sufficient or you simply want a visual upgrade of rear discs? Consider keeping the current drums and just glass bead them and keep the bare aluminum or paint so they appear nice.

Keith, Dan Swain's place is about 15 min from my office if you decide to go the 'white lightnin' route and need a hand...

Oh what fun it is to play...!

It is the same model in the link I provided for you. Follow the link and confirm that is what you want/need. If it is the correct one, $45 shipped. Please contact me via my email provided in the above post.

e-brake works great on my car. the number of clicks depends on; how your system is adjusted, pad coefficient and such. i can lock my rears and have tested it on some pretty steep hills.

What is your career? Sorry to hear about your layoff. David

I remember yours too - ironic we both get 'bitten' in the same spot and neither that badly. Better lucky than good I guess!

If memory serves me correctly I have a new one in the box, same as shown here. Email me if this is what you're looking for; palermodavid13@gmail.com

Finally getting around to posting about this. Running a 2 day event last July at Watkins Glen, 2nd morning session and probably got either lazy or not focused 100%. Heading up through the esses [between turns 2-4], got a little late entering 3 and the car didn't quite want to turn like I wanted it to. Going about 100mph I was heading at an angle which would see initial impact with the right front into the armco which lines the right side of the track entry overpass. Didn't panic or lift and kept the wheel input while the Z responded ever so slowly. My life is now in slow motion and the nano seconds tick. I reflect back to when it was purchased [10/1984], how long I've been driving there [before the bus stop was constructed, 1987] and how bad was this going to go? Current anticipated scenario-hmm, right front hit, car bounces, rotates counter-clocksise, right tail taps before it shoots across the track and hits the opposite wall, is scraped off the tarmac and flatbedded home? REALLY don't like #1. Onto the next series of frames; the Z continued to ever so slowly rotate clockwise, now it seemed as though I'd sideswipe the right side-not good but better than initially. Slo-mo video still running frame by frame, Z continues to rotate - can I save it? No, who am I kidding, BLAM-I hit the baby blue armco with the right rear - tail immediately kicks left, quick countersteer, squeeze the go pedal and [still holding my breath] caress it through turn 4 onto the back straight. I exhale, slowly. No funky vibrations, car is running, no extra pieces in the mirror. Maybe I didn't really do any damage at all-RIGHT. I get it around the track, she seems to handle fine and I pull into the pits. Quick lecture from Bob the marshall and I head to the paddock. Get out and slowly walk around. Driver door hit the door opening chipping the paint but looks fine, slight dent/buckle in the left quarter, bumper is dangling, hatch looks like it hit the body at the top - chipping the paint but also not bad. Now I'm behind the car - my new Z car customs spoiler is still there & lights are ok. Walk around the right side-deep breath first and wait for the pain. Bumper torn from it's side and rear mount, new spoiler tagged, quarter creased and highlighted with baby blue WGI armco paint but nothing major. Good news, I can drive it home and no flat bed needed! Take a large slice of humble pie and wolf that down - I am not the greatest Z driver...bubble bursted. Get much support from my friends who are in attendance and most console me with the fact that since the late 80's my Z has escaped the odds of damage. I do feel a little better plus I know that all the spares needed for repair are in my Z attic stash! Delay calling Ann Marie [my loving and most understanding bride of 22+years] until the drive home. When we speak she reminds me I'm fortunate to have been spared Z damage all these years and thrilled I'm driving the Z home and, it can be 'mended'. She's a keeper and I feel tons better [nearly cry] - love that woman! Drive a few more events that summer and, decide before returning to WGI, to take a sharpie to mark where & when I hit & what. My strategy worked and I was plagued by fewer questions that anticipated. October 2012: I take it to my business partners body shop, guy says no problem old Japanese steel is pretty thin and can pull/dolly the metal. He also prefers not to have the NOS quarter I planned to provide [i'm glad to hear that too]. Told them to take all winter if they need [then I don't have to store it...] and am told it won't take that long. FF to January 2013, I visit to see how she's coming along - nothing. Call 2 weeks later and still no progress - they're backed up with winter snow & ice crash-em-up's. Tell them that I don't care how long it takes but I'll be there April 1st to take my Z home so I have ample prep time before the early May WGI event! Get a call Friday 2/22, body work nearly complete! I drive by today 2/25/13 to snap some pics and speak to Glen [the "you crash em we mend" race car body guy] and he said it wasn't as bad as he thought - and it looks awesome. Said he thinks they'll be done in a couple of weeks and I'm jazzed. Pics
