hey cfwase
im trying but the guy is real stresed and keeps telling me to call back. i dont want to push him but dont worry im on to it. ill send you a pm when i can get through to him.
sorry dont know of a bonnet 4 sale
still havent sorted out the studs
cheers.

hey quinn you get those studs sorted out?
did you talk to your mate about this engine yet?
also you know of anyone with a mint bonnet for sale?

cheers b310gx ill try it.

hokay,try this.go to a nissan dealer & see if the rear wheel studs for a 240z are still available.these were recommended to me by arthur jackson(arfa) as the longest studs made by nissan.also,ford falcon (late ones) have been used as they have metric threads,or just use falcon wheel nuts with the old imperial threads.all you need to do is drill out the hubs to 15.5 mm,then use a rattle gun to pull the studs in.don't laugh,these were fitted to a datsun 1200 hub,on a datsun 1000 with 11 inch front brakes,& they're were LOOOOONNNG.this might be the solution,one way or the other.

I would try a wreaker and ask for any early 6 cyl datsun maybe even 240 Z

me too ive asked at appco and they said all of them are either the same length or longer and different width. oh i also tried bricon engineering theyll do it for a mere $25 - 40 per stud!!!
back to square one.

obviously they are longer but the other measurements are different im sure of it.

silly boy we wouldn't have used them if they were the same. They are longer. make sure they are off an old skyline or maybe a datsun 240k. maybe the later skylines have different ones

cheers man thats cool.
not meaning to contradict you guys but are you sure that the are the same size coz i looked in the book at repco and appco and they are different im sure of it.

try one of the early ones which came out just after the 240 K I think
