Car looks fantastic.

The Wellington Automotive guys are client's of mine and are great to deal with. They have just sent one of their boxes to the UK for a Z owner there (bought one of my bellhousings to go with it).

Sorry, but don't have any to sell. You can get them from Motorsport Auto or probably Z Car Depot - both in USA. Or even Summitt Auto Parts - https://www.summitracing.com/int/parts/mog-es2109r/overview/year/1972/make/nissan/model/240z - they ship pretty quickly. I have a spare you could borrow if you...

Could be another great opportunity to get those Zeds out and show them off and support a worthy cause at the same time. More details of events at http://vcc.org....

Unmolested could be a challenge and finding 71 or 72 restricts it even further. They are out there but you will be lucky if you find one for sale. Given the way prices have been going, a mint one would need to be $60K plus if the seller was watching the market. Some of the slightly molested ones cou...

And I just got asked by my wife as to why I always leave these things until the last moment - must be something about Motorsport!
Looking forward to seeing the mighty Mini!

240Z Fan Knob Screw

For another one of our forum members does anyone have a spare screw out of the fan knob for a 240Z?

I've got the dimensions but don't have any spare dash parts to take one from.
