My Datsun 280Z "Rustoration"

Matt, they also carry 2 different washers for the bolts. If you get them let me know if you like them. I'm almost done with my stock hood. Going to put it on the Z in place of the cowl induction hood. I will need new bolts as well.

Matt,

Question for you if you don't mind. When you replaced the front section of your rocker panels how did you replace the mounting bolt for the front fender lower mount?

I have a '78 and I think there's two bolts.

One side I was able to leave the factory nuts in place, the other side I welded an M6 nut in place.

Or you can order these from MSA large141223.jpgBolt, upper fender 70-78.

 

BTW i ended up just cutting off one of the washers on my new bolts. Now they fit great

Looks great man! It's been good weather to work inside on that kind of stuff lately! Yechhh! :-)

Thanks budd, yeah this weather blows. 80 and sunny one day, 12-14" of snow the next, pouring rain and hail after that. Ahh gotta love Colorado!
