Here are couple of pics of the Interpart lock assembled and disassembled. I am currently learning how to use Solid Works and I'm getting tired of doing tutorials so if it would help to have a 3D cad...

My louvers are not currently on the car, as I am planning to clean them up and sell or trade them. Now is as good a time as any, so I'm just starting to disassemble the locks for cleanup. I will...

You have to build up your tolerance to turkey antibodies, I would suggest that for the next five days you eat only turkey sandwiches and turkey soup and ...... turkey quesadillas, etc.

You're welcome. If you make one try and use a fairly hard piece of steel so it won't twist too easily. I hit my key with a file and it barely made a mark, maybe use a flat piece of spring steel.

Happy Thanksgiving back, nice fall pic. All that's missing is the turkey.... I can almost smell it roasting on the BBQ. :lick:

I have a set of those louvers as well, sorry I don't have a spare key but I made a quick drawing of mine if it helps.

(oops the blank looking file is a 3d pdf of the model that I attached...

Great news, I'm looking forward to seeing some pics during the assembly process.

Mike

Valve adjust? I don't remember the exact spec.

I think both are available, they show a separate part number for each.

I just did quick google search for "small u-joint" and found this at The U-Joint Store, it's a 15mm x 40mm steering u-joint for Dodge, Chevrolet , Jeep and Ford application:

I was just looking up this part the other day on my parts CD, as mine is cracked, and I can confirm what Jim said. There is only one splash guard, on the RH side, and it is called "Protector - Filler...

Local Motors has produced the first drivable 3D printed car in 44 hours. Actually only the body was printed and assembly is not included in the 44 hours, but still impressive.

Nice comparison Jay, and it's nice that this seal works for all zeds up to 09/73.

Here's a good read on Mr. K's birthday.

Are you referring to the banjo fitting bolts on the transmission cooler lines?

Here is a link to a parts list and diagram:

Sorry to hear about the delay, stay positive. I'm sure the end result will be worth all the frustration, and only add to the story of your build.

Hopefully in a year or two I will be able to share...

Thanks for sharing that, I will be watching for that episode.

It looks to me that this is one of those cases where the parts microfiche is incorrect. For the 240Z rack assembly it shows both the bearing (item 10) and the bushing (item 3) on the lower side of...

You're welcome, here is a link crossing over Timken Bearings as well. I didn't find the pinion bearing here but may be use full for others, Timken is mainly know for tapered roller bearings. Maybe...
