74FAIRLADYZ Posted November 17, 2011 Share #1 Posted November 17, 2011 I am in need of a RHD latch and cable for my 74 Fairlady, does anyone here know where I might find one. I have contacted the Australia Z car club but have had no luck as of yet.Thanks,Travis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitz17 Posted November 17, 2011 Share #2 Posted November 17, 2011 Here I was preparing to buy a LHD one, not knowing it was different! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerz Posted November 17, 2011 Share #3 Posted November 17, 2011 For UK right hand drive (RHD) cars from 05/72 to 07/73 the hood (bonnet) latch assembly (not the guide retainer, which I assume is satisfactory) is part 65610-E8700 (the parts book calls it "ASSY - HOOD LOCK FEMALE"). The cable assembly with fixing bracket and knob is 65640-N3000. From 08/73 the latch assembly is also 65610-E8700, but the cable assembly from 08/73 is part 65540-N3000 to 08/74 which then becomes part 65640-N3410. In the UK we have RHD cars, so try either the UK Z Club: http://zclub.net/ or perhaps MJP Eastern Auto: http://www.mjpauto.com/ although I suspect new parts are no longer available.

HS30-H Posted November 17, 2011 Share #4 Posted November 17, 2011 Send me a PM with exactly what components you need. I probably have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esprist Posted November 20, 2011 Share #5 Posted November 20, 2011 We have all the RHD Z parts, if you need help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HS30-H Posted November 20, 2011 Share #6 Posted November 20, 2011 Send me a PM with exactly what components you need. I probably have them.Travis,I tried to reply to your PM, and this is the autoreply I got:"74FAIRLADYZ has chosen not to receive private messages or may not be allowed to receive private messages. Therefore you may not send your message to him/her."My message was that the only RHD-specific parts you need are the male and female parts of the latch ( the female part bolts to the step bracket on the firewall, and the male part bolts to the bonnet / hood. For 1974 the inner & outer cable, bracket and pull handle are common between RHD & LHD, so you could save money by sourcing them more locally.I have spare male & female latch sections, and will collect them from my storage place tomorrow. I can give you a price inc. postage then, but in the meantime please adjust your Preferences so that you can receivd PMs on this forum.Cheers,Alan T.

HS30-H Posted November 21, 2011 Share #7 Posted November 21, 2011 Travis, I have picked out a hood / bonnet latch 3pc set for you. Please see the attached photos. I have not picked out a cable, mount bracket and pull handle because I believe you can use locally-sourced LHD items to save you money. Cheers, Alan T.

spitz17 Posted November 21, 2011 Share #8 Posted November 21, 2011 Alan, would you happen to have another set available? I could definitely use a new set as well. Apologizes I didn't see your reply to Travis earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HS30-H Posted November 21, 2011 Share #9 Posted November 21, 2011 Alan, would you happen to have another set available? I could definitely use a new set as well. Probably, but they wouldn't be replated like the pieces in the above photos. They'll be either 'as-is' used ( original plating dead ), or NOS. Are you sure you really need them? Postage is not cheap....Travis,I have sent you a total price inc. Global Priority postage. I will only post with a tracked service, and never 'surface' / economy mail.Cheers,Alan T.
