So i'm tearing down my Cedric to do a resto and I can't figure out how to get the damn window cranks and door handles off. What's the trick?

see my resto thread on Ratsun...

Try reading the service manual

You can download from this page http://www.datsun510.com/manuals/

i have the service manual and it ain't in there... service manual only covers things that need servicing.. . I crawled into my barnand found a spare door without the cranks on and figured it out that way...

Split pin thingy that needs to be pushed off the back?

a little mushroom shaped c clip... i just couldn't see it because it was brown not ni cad or metal

okay so the Resto is going well. I should have it in paint in the next month or so...

1, I can't find a paint code on the car but I'm thinking its the Westchester green metallic?

2 i need rubber door seals and pinch weld seals for it... anyone down there found a good substitute? I know about Scotts Old rubber but a P/N or two would be usefull... I know Alan restored his, but i haven't been able to get him by email.

3 Anyone there got any extra hubcaps? i need 2 more solid ones, but would love a clean rechromeable set.

oh one more... are all Cedrics positive ground? mine is a 1965.

Mine is a 63 and is negative ground. It doen't look like it's been modified.
I'm looking for the pichweld seals also. I would like to find the coloured cotton covered ones as per original, but no luck as yet. I may just have to fit the plain black ones.

Not sure if mine is arctic green or palm green.

Graeme, yours isn't metallic green is it? mine is a Cedric Deluxe or Custom(which ever the mid level model is)...

Allan says he thinks there are 3 greens, one of which is metallic.

The base model came with dog dish hubcaps and solid vinyl seats, mine has full hub covers and cloth inserts, and the top model has a fancy cloth interior and extra chrome and a fancier grill. then there's the Special 50 which is a different thing again.

Mine is definately not metalic. It is a very light pastel shade.
Pretty sure the 50 was limited to Japan. I have two others which are both Deluxe. (and need restoration)
My green one, although being the base model, has the pull out radio and full hub caps. I suspect it may have been optioned up by the dealer.
