Back working on the 70 Series 1 Safari Gold Z.
Ripped into the heater control panel and removed the old broken bezel and replaced with a re-pop from MSA.
While the heater controls were out, decided it was a good time to take the clock out and figure out why she won't run. After some cleaning and WD-40, got her back to a beautiful tic toc sound and re-installed. Very happy to have a working clock.

What did you do in terms of mounting them? Given the size difference between them and the stock runners and mounting holes?

What seats and from where?

I used a set of generic rails and bolted them straight into the seats, then made a plate out of 4mm steel that was then bolted onto the back half of the cars raised floor section(where the rails would normally mount) and a second plate bolted onto the front raised floor section(where the rails would normally mount). Then bolted the rails to those 4mm plates. The hardest bit was figuring out how to do it while still being able to get to the bolts to tighten everything down properly. It worked out fine in the end. I guess I should have taken a few pics showing the progress but hey ho.
Replica Datsun competition seats from Japan. I can't remember off the top of my head who the company was as I bought them a while back. I also bought the headrests but haven't fitted them yet.

They look like some I was after, can you show a pic of the back and the side? Did you get the belt guides also?
Great choice.

Next time I go over to my lockup I'll take some photos of the seats for you.
Last weekend I made a corner bracket for my front bumper. It took a couple of goes to get it right but I’ m quite pleased with the result (the result being the bumper isn’t rattling any more!).
Doesn’t make for a great photo [emoji3]
Then I got an MOT and to complete the once a year experience, I cleaned it.

Lovely video - I was enjoying the ride too!
On a road like that it seems silly to put 'bend' chevrons on every corner and tbh a lot were obscured by bushes.
Shame it was so busy with other cars!
What diff ratio are you running now?
