R12 has been on the endangered species list with the EPA for well over 20 years. I think you would be safe to assume it has 134 oil in it.

My 5A Z/28 had 87 written on top of the heater box and this written on the gas tank.

Is there anything on your broadcast sheet that references the 57?

Digging through old pictures of my 05A Z/28 with 28,000 miles and found these to share. Original shoe markings and painted hold downs. Spring colors are red, blue, green, and pink. Date code on the auto adjuster of 093 was on both sides. Inside the backing plate and all the hardware was bare metal.

Norwood 05A Z/28 28,000 miles. I didn't find any white paint. As I remember there was only orange on one rotor. One rotor had balancing holes drilled that aren't shown in this picture so I can not say if that was the rotor with the paint.

I picked up my copy from Brad last night. He was pretty tired after driving back from the show. Very nicely put together book with even some pictures of my car in there.

I mentioned some people are looking for his contact info, I am sure he will be reaching out soon.

Thanks for the detail pictures of the RS equipment on the core support. I'll reference those when I build out my Z10.

Restoration / Re: D80 Spoiler Trunk Lid Sealing Tape

« on: April 27, 2021, 01:01:52 AM »

I found these pictures transferring files to a new computer. Hood, roof, and trunk lid were still in original lacquer.

On a side note my painter, a PPG sales rep. matched the Dusk Blue BC/CC used on my car to the original lacquer under the spoiler that had never seen the light of day. Lots of different laser scans and spray outs were done as PPG's 51 code then was too purple. Someone else was painting a "high dollar" car 51 code about that same time and PPG donated a gallon to me for the use of my deck lid.
