Yes i have look and there is nothing distinctive. Nothing also in the FSM or any of the books that i have (How to restore...) I am almost done with my 73 restore and stuck on these little details, there must be some reference for this ?

I've never seen a reference on this, although I can't believe that no one has done this before. Best way to go about this would be to have someone whose emblems are off the car now measure the locations of the mounting holes. That would seem to be the most accurate way to locate the proper location to me, more accurate than trying to measure the emblems themselves. Anyone got emblems off right now?

I think I'd take another look - those holes weren't "self healing". There has to be evidence like Bondo squeezed through. Even if excess was wiped off on the underside of the hatch panel and painted over, you should be able to see something.

Since my emblems are off, here are some measurements to the holes.

Datsun:

1st hole on left 8 7/8" down from rear window seal, 10 3/8" from right edge of hatch

2nd hole:

7" down from window seal, 6 11/16" from rt edge of hatch

3rd hole:

5 7/8" down from window seal, 3 3/4" from edge of hatch

240Z:

1st hole:

8" down from window seal, 5 7/8" from rt edge of hatch

2nd hole:

8" down from window seal (seal starts to curve up at this point, so scribe a horizontal line along bottom of seal, 2" from rt edge of hatch

Hope this helps, good luck!
