We are lurkers, enjoy the posts and learn a lot. Don't have a problem with
items for sale, providing sources for parts and Datsun items is a super
plus. That is talking about Roadsters! Have paid way too much for a part we
needed and was glad to pay it, so price isn't the issue. Don't like petty
infighting and sniping either. Blocking the email address was a personal
choice, finalized by his last password included in his post, F--kOff#2.
Posted our solution only as a option.
Returning to the shadows.
