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

More photos of the pacer -
I replated the shifter levers gold dichromate - The RS hoses are not all correct colors the actuator hose should be orange striped - so I changed it.
Striped the drive shaft -

NOALOX is what I use on all electrical connections and grounds.
The tail lamp housings are often distorted so I heat them in some boiling water then clamp them into position and set it with cold water.
