Thanks Tony D! I'll remove one of the rings when I get home and see if that helps. Not sure if I'll still have the car for the show since I'm planning on listing it on ebay tonight. I took it to the show back in 2003 and it won best in class.. I'll let someone else take the trophe this time -Dave

I purchased my Z a while ago with these headlight covers already on the car but I never asked the previous owner if they were NOS Nissan parts or reproduction. How can I tell? Thanks for your help and be sure to keep an eye out in the classified section for my car, I'll be listing it sometime this week for sale. -Dave

Hey guys, I had my mechanic take apart my front suspension today and replace my outter tie rods and bushings with all new polyurethane components. He called me and said my inner tie rods were the originals and needed to be replaced as well because the threads were in bad shape. Anyways,, he tried several sources and had no luck finding them. I tried Motorsports Z which is 10min away from my house and they said they currently don't have a supplier for them. I also tried Ebay, Napa, Autozone, and Kragen and had no luck finding a stock replacement inner tie rod for a 73 240z. Does anyone have a set in good shape they can sell me know of a source where I can find a pair? Thanks for your help,, -Dave

for a nut...? I don't know, how much does one of these go for?

I went to replace my stock steering wheel yeasterday with a new MOMO wheel and hub and when I removed the stock horn button I discovered that I was missing the center nut that's suppose to hold the wheel in place. I was surprised to find that my steering wheel just came off with some slight tugging. Anyways, I've tried looking for a nut that will fit it at a few hardware stores and I haven't had any luck. I believe that it's a 17mm nut. If someone has an extra one that they can sell me or if you know of a vendor that carries them please let me know. I have a 73 240z. Thanks, -Dave

LoL, I just saw your thread.... Great minds think alike -dave

I saw them on ebay and they seemed nice enough for the price.... They sell them in a few different colors and I can even save on shipping since they're local. Just wanted to see if anyone has tried them on thier 240z. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/16-8-XXR-513-Black-Rims-wheel-Datsun-240z-280z-Scion-Xb_W0QQitemZ360086435397QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item360086435397&_trkparms=39%3A1%7C65%3A1%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245 What size tires do you think I can run without having to do any modifications (widest I can fit in rear)? I have a 73 240z, brand new 383 stroker w/ 440hp, car is lowered 1 1/2". Thanks, -Dave
