[Snaps for brake boot]

I will definitely check, I had just figured this must have come up before for someone and they figured it out 

[AWD 260z build]

This is not my car.  The extreme widebody isn't my cup of tea but pretty badass build and engineering.

[Snaps for brake boot]

I am putting carpet in my 280z.  It never had any when I bought it.  The brake boot has snaps that apparently attach to the carpet.  My carpet doesn't have any and need to add some.  I would like to buy some snaps that will work with the brake boot snaps.  Preferably ones that rivet in.  Has anyone identified any?

 

Thanks

[Wanted 280z clutch/brake clevis and pin]

Thanks man.  It was actually cheaper to buy a whole new MC, which is ridiculous

[Wanted 280z clutch/brake clevis and pin]

Wanted the clevis and pin for 280z clutch.  This is the part that threads onto the master cylinder rod and attaches to the clutch pedal.  I believe that the brake and clutch clevises are the same, but not 100% .  Let me know if you have one 

 

[LS engine positioning relative to steering rack and firewall]

I don't believe you can have the damper behind the steering rack.  I have a Corvette damper which is the tightest to the block and mine sits directly over the rack.  This is with the engine as tight to the firewall as I was willing to go.

 

Clearance to the hood is fairly good.  I don't think you'll have a problem there.

You didn't even remove the side mirrors, door handles or locks?  Yikes

[Bushing for emergency brake control lever.]

I need one of these bushings.  Has anyone found a source or perhaps made a CAD file for 3D printing?

Is anyone selling these or does anyone have the CAD file?  Zcardepot has been out of stock for months

[Wire routing to headlights]

I ran wires through as well.  I'm pleased with it

[Carpet on modified floor pans/tunnel]

Good points, thank you

[Carpet on modified floor pans/tunnel]

The plan is either for 1 piece that covers the entire floor and tunnel, or 3 total pieces: one for drivers floor, one for passenger floor, and one for transmission tunnel.  I'd prefer 1 piece so there are no seams, but I don't know if I can get it to conform, especially in the area where the tunnel, floor, and firewall meet.

Anyone?

What is that gold ring around your ignition?  Is that factory?  My car doesn't have one but I like it, makes for a cleaner look.

[Carpet on modified floor pans/tunnel]

I am finishing up a full restomod on a 280z.  I modified the floor pans and tunnel in several areas and also removed the seat braces so I can't use a standard carpet kit.  I'm planning to get a roll of carpet and install myself.  The hatch piece I can use a pre-cut standard product from a vendor.

 

Since the carpet won't be molded, it will be a little tricky.  I'll likely have to use heat and water to get it to conform.

 

I much prefer the look of carpet on the transmission tunnel vs vinyl. 

My current plan is to have 3 separate pieces: 2 for each floor, and one for the transmission tunnel.  

 

Since the pieces will be separate, there will be 2 edges touching where each floor pan piece meets the transmission tunnel piece.  One piece will have to sit behind the other.   My current plan is serging/banding the edges of the transmission tunnel piece and have it sit over the top of the floor pan piece.  Everything will be glued down.  Although I'm not sure how that will affect the wire bundle I have running along the outside edge of the passenger floor pan.  

 

Any advice or comments?  Has anyone else done this?  Has anyone successfully used a single piece of carpet to do this?  Has anyone paid a shop to do it?

 

Thanks

I might have an extra set from a roof part out. I’ll see if I can get them off 

 

Great, thank you!

[Hatch hinge seals]

Thank you, I would appreciate that

[Hatch hinge seals]

Have you installed them yet?  If not, I would really love some measurements as I need to fabricate my own.

[Hatch hinge seals]

Thanks Sanchez.  Do you still have the boot plates that go between the hinge and seal?

No tach signal for ZPS system.  I'm not even sure what the Silvermine system would do with a tach signal.

Thanks man

Nice job and nice car.  Very clean. I just did this install myself and was a bit surprised that the installation instructions were basically non-existent.  I ended up having to fabricate a brace for the motor to stiffen it up.  I had a lot of play without it.  

 

I was wondering what you are running in place of your air vents?  Are those tweeters?  Any more information and pics?
