Darrel Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 After breaking the plastic parts for the illumina adjustment I talked to johnc about what I can do. These parts are replacable. Go to your original retailer and order. If not tokico or another retailer may order a set for you. After remembering who I bought them from I called and they sent me a full set for my 240z. After remembering back when I bought the full set for my 280zxt I realized I didn't get any indiactor knobs for the rear struts(struts discontinued by tokico) on the zx. My retailer couldn't help me out with those so they referred me to tokico. Here is the pic with notes. The broken pieces can be taken out with patience and some kind of pick or probe.

Zmanco Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Great idea - mine are so scratched and embedded with dirt that it's hard to read the dial. Darrel, do you know the part numbers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Just call them up and ask for them, they'll mail them to you no questions asked. The ones for the Z are all the same as indicated in the photo above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zardilla Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Awesome - Thanks for the info. I damaged the indicator on one of my struts a couple years back and thought it would forever be set at 3! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darrel Posted June 13, 2009 Author Share Posted June 13, 2009 I posted this because I saw a couple of posts saying they broke these pieces. So I investigated a little, made a couple of calls and when I got the parts I wanted to post pics to show what they looked like. I still have to get the old parts out, I may have to drill into the plastic, the pick really isn't working too well. I suppose it doesn't help that I still have the strut in the car, but I'm sure I will get the broken pieces out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrel Posted June 21, 2009 Author Share Posted June 21, 2009 success, drilled old plastic parts enough to get needle nose pliers, then used comressed air to clean out the rest of the material. It would be much easier with the strut out of the car, but had no real problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
