Richard,

Take a look at the brake pedal where the switch hits it. There should be a rubber bumper on it that the switch hits. If it’s gone your brake lights will stay on. 

The wheel studs are pressed into the rear axles & front hubs. Rears can generally be replaced while the axles are installed but the front hubs require disassembly. Studs are available from our vendors. You might also look @ Corvair studs. They are a little longer & the splines may be different. They are available @ most parts houses. 

Peace,
Pat

Good morning,

I have a 2000 Datsun and a couple of questions for the group:

1) The brake light on my car is alway on and has drained the battery to the point where I need a new battery. I think it's the switch. Does anyone know where I can buy a new brake light switch? I am assuming the switches are generic and work on any Fairlady model and year.
2) One of the four bolts that hold the wheel on the car has broken off. Are the bolts loose and therefore, easily replaceable or are they fixed to the car? Does anyone know where I can buy a new bolt/lug nut?

Thank you and have a fabulous and safe weekend.

Richard, If the rubber bumper has fallen off, the electrical brake light
switch will stay in the on position. It can also become damaged if the
bumper is gone and every time you hit the pedal the plastic piston slams
against the metal stop. Below is a list of parts for all your inquiries in
stock. Use the Secure order form to order on the navigation bar to the left
on our web-site.
Bookmark us. We have a lot of parts.
