Use a split grommet from seals-it.

Your reverse lights are out.

Love me some Studebaker Commanders!

I don't remember because I got them for my last car. All I know was it took 2 different ones. They were all from a late 70s very early 80s Mercedes. I used the rear part of the ones with the 2.5" inlet and the ball vent from the one with the larger inlets. The vents appeared to be the same except the ones from the large ones were blacker, that's why I used them. Here's the dash after a coat then a sand and a second coat of the padded dash filler. This stuff is hard to sand. I ended up using a DA very lightly on the flat areas.

http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/114638-1978-280z-gto-ls1-t56-ttt/page-6?do=findComment&comment=1110058 I started using the urethane supply padded dash filler yesterday. It is really flexible. I have some pics starting on post 110. I will try to take more today.

Started on restoring the cracked datsun Z dash yesterday. Got it dremeled out, filled with great stuff foam, shaped it with a hacksaw blade and put the 1st coat of the padded dash filler from urethane supply company on. I got too small of a can of it, so I may have to order another can and not be able to finish it until next weekend. Hate when that happens.

My friend and I are both restoring our dashes at the same time. Since vintage air is being used we wanted to make sure we get as much airflow as possible. We combined Mercedes vents with the Datsun vents. They happen to use the same size hose as the vintage air output, so no having to make the hose smaller by the vents. In the middle picture you can see how much larger they are than the Datsun.

Also is it not mounted straight? One side looks higher than the other.

So it's an aftermarket grille? If so who made it.

I mounted all my stuff on a piece of aluminum angle I had laying around. I drilled up into the frame in the middle and both ends and used nutserts. On the outer ends I had to put small spacers between the angle and the frame. I use the 88 ford can bracket a lot of people use to hold the pump.

Can you post a brighter clearer picture with the bumper mounted?

I think it was around 2000, but a lot of cars in that model year range had the same weatherstrip, just different shapes and lengths.

It seems like those stick on led strips would blind you at night since there is no shield.

I like both!

What year safari van was it? Do you have a picture of how you ran the wire to it?

I'm in the process of using a 280zx air cleaner welding a pipe to the bottom the same size as the elbows to get more flow.

That's what I was wondering. If you could use the 8.8 with custom shafts so I could use the outer CVs and hubs (early Q45 larger CVs and shaft) and mate that to the Ford stuff in the center so I could keep all the TTT stuff at the wheel end.

I just emailed to ask if he would think about making some. That was his reply. I would but a 280 set to have for future use if I could get a hold of some.

Gabe at TTT said he would run a batch if he could get commitment for 10 sets. I don't know if they would all have I be 240, or some 240 and some 280.

Does anyone know if the bolts that hold them on are all in the same place for every year: It would be nice if someone with fiberglass skills could repop them if they were all the same, Then it would be easy to mod slightly for flares, etc.

Also make them with the amber parts like the euro lenses were.

How hard is it to separate the lights and what do you use to glue them back together?

Where can you pick up the brass shifter cup bushing?
