Re: To Bagdad and Back
Very Sorry Jeff. The 11th annual Bagdad run was a rousing success, with roughly 25 people attending. Most of the cars were Zs, but we also had a 510 wagon, 1600 Roadster, and 620 pickup among them. Fortunately there were no mishaps or mechanical breakdowns. Our new restaurant, "The Stacked Ench...

Re: What I did on my Datsun today
Thanks Jeff. So, doing this manually without an alignment rack, I need to run a string from the back to the front of the car to measure how far out each side is correct? Measuring across the left and right front rotors (front vs. back) could conceivably point me into the ditch even if the measuremen...

Re: What I did on my Datsun today
Thank you for the offer Dale. I went ahead and made a pair of alignment tools and currently have them affixed to both front wheel studs so I can accurately measure toe angle. Since my steering wheel was perfectly straight prior to disconnecting the inner tie rod ends, I'm assuming setting the steeri...

Re: What I did on my Datsun today
Saw a neat tool you can easily make for doing this on Instagram. Uses 2 pieces of angle iron (maybe 24" long) with holes that can be bolted to the wheel studs. Then you can easily/accurately measure from one side of car to the other. Think I'll make a set which is way cheaper than an alignment ...

Re: What I did on my Datsun today
Replaced the steering rack boots and greased the fittings on the front end of the 240Z yesterday. The old boots were torn on both sides. Did my best to count threads and mark the tie rods with paint, but alas I still will need a front end alignment. Tried the easier way of installing the new boots b...

Re: To Bagdad and Back

Always a great event that everyone raves about. Hope to see you there. Remember, meet up spot is the McDonalds at I-...
