L24 Balance tube

Hi, Anyone have a balance tube lying around for the standard SU carbs? My US spec 240z has all the emissions gear on it which im planning to remove, and am trying to track down a Euro or NZ spec balance tube as pictured? Hoping to clean up the engine bay somewhat! Cheers https://www.classiczcars.com...

Yes good comments from MikeC and Baker93 above, there appears to be alot of misplaced brand snobbery/slavery in wheels and I have managed to destroy or damage name brand wheels and have now seem to end up with XXS, Rota or similar that appear to have consistent quality. Not always the prettiest but...

Hi I had a set of Arrow wheels in that exact size and style and a very similar colour made for me in the mid 90s obviously by Arrow Wheels themselves. Put politely they were ummm not fit for purpose. The rim halves were extremely soft and were forever bending. The casting of the centers was best de...

Interesting that it has the Smog equipment, There are so many sources online that say the 240z didn't get the smog equipment until 72,

However this Z and mine a US 70 both have it... When I come back to NZ I plan to remove it all and rebuild the engine in mine... It needs a birthday.

Wheels Update!!!!!

So I found a set of 14x7 et8 watanabes, Not the exact dimensions im after but they are working for now... They are actually a gloss charcoal colour, the light was pretty harsh on the day so the photos arent that great. Interested to hear thoughts.. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7794/17363991991_de3...
