Thanks Paul! Yeah it's been a process!
Hope it all goes well for you.
I know the car will be tied down when in the container, but it'd be awful if something happened elsewhere.
Re parking brake. Often with disc conversions on these cars they require more cable movement than the drums. I had to extend the handbrake lever where the cable connects i.e. in the transmission tunnel.Sounds good I will let you know! I just need to adjust the parking brake (I just barely got everything re-assembled with the Wilwood MC4 calipers before we left, but I realized I don't have nearly enough tension on the cable) and swap in the restored headlight switch. I'll do the relay mod too so I don't burn another headlight switch, so I don't know if there are any wiring wizards on here
Is that why we see cars with the handbrake lever nigh on vertical?
I hope so too, I've informed them via email and left a note inside the car but we'll seeHope the shipping company realise the handbrake doesn't work!
Good luck with the whole process. Lots of people on here who can advise you when it comes to registering it.
That's interesting, do you have any images of how you did that? Right now with the lever all the way up it's just barely touching down on the rotors. Enough to still turn a rear wheel by hand with a bit of resistance.
When I shipped my car over from Cal, when it was on the boat, they pulled out the tyre valves to make the car lower so they had more space to stack the next car above mine. Apparently it is normal for them to do this as they can be bothered to deflate the tyres by pressing the valves, so the use a tool to just quickly remove the valve. So, I would suggest you take a spare set of valves and air pump when you go to collect the car.
Wish I had seen this earlier! That's a great idea, did you have that piece laser-cut? That area is so tough to get to with the driveshaft in place though...260z Restoration - Let's get started
I think you've the neatest build I've ever seen on here. Thanks Jason, I really enjoy ‘just doing’ and thinking out ways to do things plus I’ve got Paul Henley only 100yds up the road and his standards are really high!!zclub.net
Huh that seems really odd, I hadn't heard of that before. I'm having it delivered to my home so I should be able to sort it out here if they've messed with anything!
Tire valves are not universal when it comes to classics as I found out the hard way. Unless of course the wheels are modern items
They're 3pc Panasport C8-S's so modern-ish. I believe they were discontinued but I would think I could get new valves if needed.Tire valves are not universal when it comes to classics as I found out the hard way. Unless of course the wheels are modern items
Probably universal then
