I'm quite sure that my front stay is too long too.
BUt I've had lots of A14s, A15's, over the years. And had many cars/motors which were sans air cleaner assemblies at the time of acquistion too.

Thanks David!
As always you're the man!
I'm not really sure what model cars any of my parts came off. My Air filter housing is I think B310. And the longblock is I think B210. BUt the manifolds are just some I found in my (extensive) junkpile.
My Air filter housing has a flat on one side where the bracket with two bolts attaches.
Of the two front stays I have, neither of them then correct "helix" to make them fit.

Might have to have another ferret through my spares/junk to see if I can find any others. (Before I start trying to modify what I've got.

Hey guys, It's been a while.
I'm looking for a picture of the front air cleaner stay bracket for an A12. (The kind which only has one bolt each tide holding the manifold to the head at the top between each pair of runners) Maybe all A12's are like that, but I've not played with them for such a long time?
I have two manifold to air cleaner housing stayss, but niether of them seem to be the right thing.
Anyone got a picture of theirs?

NZ assembled datsuns only had the one square tag, held on by four screws. So it's pretty hard to tell when a car has been re-shelled. The coupes were assembled in Japan, and they all had a chassis number matching the one on the tag stamped into the body.
I cut up a 310 coupe once that had a number stamped into it too. But others did not?

That story a bit misleading.
He bought an above average condition deluxe sedan off a mate of mine. (It was a low kms car, that was pretty mint in my eyes) And reshelled a poked sss.

I removed all my floor insulation with a wire brush wheel about 10 years ago. I don't know if I wore a mask or not. I also once fell through a super 6 roof as a kid too. (Damn that hurt!)
So if there is asbestos in that floor stuff, odds are I'm screwed.........

A local guy who was on the hunt for one paid the asking price as is.
He's also going to buy the supercharger kit too.

The bolt shop was closed today.
So I sifted through lots of ice cream containers of bolts, and found some old flywheel bolts. and I found some clutch bolts too.

okay,
here's some dumbass newbie questions for the masses.
The clutch cover plate bolts are M8, but how long should they be?
Also, what diameter, and thread are the flywheel bolts? I knoiw that the bolts for a front dizzy crank are imperial, but these are for a mid dizzy engine.
I have a small window to scoot off to a fastener shop tomorrow morning. and family commitments mean I don't have the time to find these answers for myself......

If he's near the epicenter, then he wont have power most likely.
The best advise I can give anyone, is don't have an earthquake where you live. three years on, and we still have lots of buggered roads.
