Originality / 12 bolt cover

« on: March 26, 2013, 01:12:56 PM »

I have noticed some covers have a notch out of one side. Even seen them called nos. My original doesn't have the notch. Where did the notched ones come from? Are the repops accurate?

My car had 2 colors of primer. Lighter gray in front foot area and the top of the tunnel. I did a lot of looking for paint and used sikkens rally black. Turned out gorgeous. I wanted a paint that would use hardener and a good sheen. Its a little pricey but very pleased

If you went to that much trouble don't paint them. Get some rust prevention magic and use it in bare steel

Does anyone know how the bolts that hold the s shaped steering arm to the spindle and the short fat  bolt that holds the backing plate to the spindle should be finished? Saw a picture that has me doubting what I did
Thank you

I was always told not to wait to top coat epoxy primer too long or you lose the chemical bond. If i needed to fill pits, i would use filler on bare metal than epoxy prime.  Lately i found a product great for pits. Its called icing and comes in a tube. Nice to use product

Been watching ebay for the correct date code for my z.  Today one appears that i haven't seen before, date of 0921. Stamp looks fat but never seen one with the 0 before the   9.   never seen a 21 either. Something fishy?
