Opinions wanted - Body Plugs

[SteveJ]

I am looking for body plugs for my 73. I need the 1.75 inch plugs.

I searched for body plugs and found a company called Goodmark sells a variety of plugs. Here is what I found for 1.75 inch plugs:

Depressed center

Flush

Any preferences/advice?

Thanks,

Steve

Thanks for the lead. I'm going to be up in Toronto in April & in May. If there are duties, I might be able to get him to ship it to the place I'll be visiting.

Well, ZeddFindings only has 1 inch plugs, so I'll probably bite the bullet and try one of these solutions unless someone has other suggestions.

EBay seller "reddat" sells all sorts of NOS rubber body plugs. You might be able to find them cheaper through other parts suppliers, however.

Just search "Datsun 240Z Rubber Plugs" and you'll pull up several sources, including "the-z-connection".

[SteveJ]

Yeah, reddat does value his parts. I've been going crazy on eBay recently. I don't recall the-z-connection having plugs, but I'll look again. I bought several items from him.

Here locally, we have Cross Canada Auto Body Supply that stocks or can get just about everything like that. I'll stop in tomorrow and take pics of any available 1.75" plugs. I even have a healthy stash of used ones of various sizes I can rummage through if you get stuck. I never thought they would be hard to track down.

Where in Ontario are you? I'm headed up there for a week in April & at least a week in May. My company does business with the Caterpillar dealer in Toronto & the Eaton plant in Milton.

I'm in Windsor, which is actually south of Detroit Michigan. About a 3 1/2 hour drive southwest of Toronto. There are a half dozen Zs here amongst 3 Z guys who keep in touch. The Toronto area has more going on. Drop a post on the Ontario Z Car Club to warn everyone and find out what events will be taking place during your stay.

Thanks, Mike. Did it have the 1.75 inch plugs, too? Those seem to be the most difficult to locate.

Dang, I got real busy this week and forgot to look for these.

I seen these listed on Ebay. If this seller has them available, maybe they can be obtained over the Nissan Parts counter. All he does is resell at a higher price and pad the shipping.

Edit: after a second look, it seems he only has 1 and it's used at that. How many do you need?
