DatMo Posted January 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Trying to think of what front lip I should get... bre or duck lip... Also, now that I have my thermostat housing and all, I can turn on the datto soon just to see how the engine runs and to make sure there are no leaks and etc. I'm kind of regretting 13's on the 510...

datsunfreak Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Some updates. I finished the battery tray delete. I wouldn't say you "finished" it. ^_^ really want the fender mirrors on this car. I'm not sure which ones they are but I love them. Those look like Lucas fender mirrors to me? Used on tons of British cars in the 60s and 70s. They are super cheap from Victoria British: http://www.victoriabritish.com/icatalog/sm/full.aspx?Page=31 Quote Link to comment

Perfect! I'll order them tonight! Thanks a bunch! Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Perfect! I'll order them tonight! Thanks a bunch! They are pretty decent quality too. Surprising now nice they are for the price. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
DatMo Posted January 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 They are pretty decent quality too. Surprising now nice they are for the price. :thumbup:Must agree. I think I'll get a duck lip like my last 510 as well. I think the brelip is somewhat of an overkill. I'm excited to get a lot of progress done Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Post up when you get the mirrors and I'll get you the measurement for where they go on the fender. There is a dimple on the inner fender where the underside of the mirror fits. Quote Link to comment

DatMo Posted January 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Does anyone know where you can get the rubbers that go near the headlight housing. It's on the corners near the fender? I don't have a picture unfortunately :/ Quote Link to comment

DatMo Posted January 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 For the side markers? no. they're like the very edge of the front end on the right and left? Quote Link to comment
DatMo Posted January 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 I'm planning to get an aba steering wheel. I ordered a boss hub because I'm not the biggest fan of the momo's. I need to find some turning signals. I've just been buying a ton of parts lately. Feels good. If anyone has some turn signals, let me know. Also interested in a front air dam eye brow and lower grille trims. I think I'm gonna need to get some spacers for my 13's as well. ahhhhh... I really want to make them fit. Quote Link to comment
DatMo Posted January 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Here's all the shit i did today... nothing much but I will get a lot done pretty soon. Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 You talking about the rubber that goes on the ends of the core support under the fenders? 1 Quote Link to comment
DatMo Posted January 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 You talking about the rubber that goes on the ends of the core support under the fenders? Yup! mine was hanging by one piece on the right and I never had a left one. Are they a necessity? Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 I don't think its necessary but I've never torn down and painted a 510. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Yup! mine was hanging by one piece on the right and I never had a left one. Are they a necessity? Those, and the long skinny rubbers between the fender and upper rail do dictate proper fender spacing. They won't be mounted "right" without them, or a reasonable facsimile. You could always just use a rubber spacer/washer, or even a very thin metal washer? Quote Link to comment

Thank you though. On a whatever note, I painted but I sucked and i need to sand some runs. First time using a gun so you live and learn. But It'll be done by Friday. It is coming along nicely. Then I'll have suspension to get working on before I mount my engine in!!!! Which is actually done just needa sand out some rust in my xmember and control arms. Quote Link to comment
DatMo Posted January 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 My 5 3/4 h4 ebay headlights came in as well. They look good. 1 Quote Link to comment
DatMo Posted January 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Hopefully by sunday I'll have the suspension redone. That should not take too long at all. As soon as it is done, the engine will be goin in!!!! I'll put the tranny in separately. Quote Link to comment
