^^^did you miss the picture of Chrissie eating ice cream?^^^

 

I thought that was the best part of the video.

[Girls Crashes Corvette (Instructional Video) ;^)]

Chrissie should stick to eating ice cream on a stick!

Here is the email I received regarding the MG latches:

 

"Dear JP

 

Thank you for your e-mail.

 

I wish I could say yes on this one, but there are 999 key combinations and I doubt I could get our suppliers to check all their stock as the locks are individually wrapped.

 

The lock does come with the washer and nut.

 

Kind regards

 

Dave Parker

Mechspec "

 

My feelings are with the other guys on this latch; I don't want to reinvent the wheel to make these work. I'll continue to look for Honda latches or use the 280z setup.

Here is what his email said:

 

Dear Sir

 

Thank you for your e-mail. I can supply the following:-

 

1. MG Trunk Lock $30.00

2. MG Trunk Lock $30.00

3. Shipping to USA $12.00

 

Total $72.00

 

I will email him back and get the rest of the details.

[FD with a twist]

I like it...especially with an LSX engine.

[250 GTO door buttons]

You can find the MG buttons fairly easily. I found plenty of new replacement ones on ebay or you can try Victoria British: http://www.victoriabritish.com/ .

 

A few people have said the MG button is larger and does not look as good as the Honda button...but now that I know they push instead of twist I may go this route.

 

I emailed this guy: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MG-MGB-GT-Tourer-Roadster-Lock-Set-2-Doors-1-Trunk_W0QQitemZ260081150161QQihZ016QQcategoryZ33648QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem and he said he would sell a pair of the trunk latches w/out the locks. He says there is a discount for multible orders so maybe we could put something together.

[Check out my new Z]

Me likey...a lot!

[VR spyder for sale]

Ask member "Here Comes Trouble" about this car, not a good story on it.

 

Yea, Larry said it had some bad rust problems and to stay clear of this one.

[250 GTO door buttons]

I've been trying find a pair since my last post on this thread but haven't had any luck. I guess I will go with the datsun handle and lock.

[351z]

another georgian Welcome!

 

Ditto!

 

I got mine off the rotisserie about 8 months ago. Can't wait to see pics.

[Wanted to share a good site]

Great website! Thanks for sharing!

[First 1/4 Mile Pass!]

That's why I love these cars. Throw in a decent engine, run off an 11.7 without breaking a sweat!

 

I'll second that. It's amazing how scary fast you can go with a V8Z.

 

Great first time out! I can't wait to see what you can do after you've got everything dialed in. Congratulations!

[250 GTO door buttons]

I found a source for new MG rear hatch buttons but am having a tough time finding the Honda type.

 

Does anyone have information as to how to modify the MG pieces?

[250 GTO door buttons]

Thank you Chelle. That is the diagram I was looking for.

 

Anyone with additional information please share.

 

What year Civic do these door handles come from?

[I did what any respectable guy would do, I got me a new TIG!]

Awesome. Looks like a nice, compact package. Amazing how eBay gets into people's wallets. They just don't shop around at all.

 

What did the whole rig wind up at $?

 

How much was everything?

[250 GTO door buttons]

I found a diagram for a pushbutton door handle for the GTO kit. Now that I have built the mechanisms, I can't locate the Honda part number (056120-9) referenced on the diagram.

HELP!

Bill

 

I can't find the diagram/instructions for the pushbutton door handles. Does anyone know where it is listed???

[Is This Roller Set Up For Real?????]

I bought those instructions on ebay about 5 months ago. I figured 20 bucks, why not.

After I read over everything I realized that this method is pretty sketchy and leaves a lot of stuff to chance. I would not spend the time and money trying to make this work.

[Molding Body Kit to body?]

Here is my vote for "sticky" status.

[First drive with the G-force T5]

Cool!

 

After you get to wind it out a few times I would like to hear how noisy the gears are. Please keep me posted.

[Need source for 280z rear strut insulators HELP!!!!]

I've got some too. $5 each if you want.

[Good starting Welder?]

If you are going to buy a welder, buy a good one. You can practice all you want and when you get good you won't have to eat the cost of a cheapo welder when you upgrade to a good one.

 

Miller is by far the best I have ever used.

[Safety on PINKS TV]

I think I'm going to be sick!

[GM M50 5 Speed?]

I think that might be the tranny that deja

has in his Z. You might want to touch base with him.

[Is everyone using 24 gauge mild steel for patches]

Ive decided to use 18 gauge, got it from a welding and machine shop. I didnt know i was going to get a 14.00 cutting charge though for 15 dollars of metal

 

Ouch! Metal shops are proud of their work!
