These pieces Jim?

In my understanding of these diagrams, the upper C1 shows the x'ed out ones have no wires in this positions. The lower C1 is what the plug actually looks like. SteveJ will know for sure about this. 🙂

I'll bring two damaged, but with working switches to the Club Meeting @7tooZ Just buy me a beer. 😎
-
I have some used L6 ones, If you can't find a NOS one.
-
Your killing me...Zed🤣😂 It also says on the side bar "Manual transmission". But who knows for sure until you see it. The seller thinks it is a 72

The ad says Title status Clean. It does have a hole in the roof.

I added to my post above.

I saw this too. I have to agree with @DatsunZGuy looks like an early 260Z @zedhead Tail lights, Bumper mounts, fusible links, Evap can, larger coil.
-
Steve, My 82 parts car still has the cable in it and seems to work well. Any interest?
-
Not sure where this is from either, but thought it was cool. At least the Z is up front. lol
-
Others will have more detail on dates for when these started and stopped etc. The one with the with the extra tab on top (left on last pic)is for the early 69-70 cars. That tab is where the hand throttle cable hooks up. The one on the right is the replacement for that, after the hand throttle was recalled and omitted.

While this is not vintage, yesterday in fact. (Pacific Raceways in Auburn WA at the Historic Races.) This guy was leading the pack most of the day.

I have sent my carrier pigeon, he is almost there now.

Ha ha I thought that was amazing as well. The emblem holding the fender together. I thought the lock might be some sort of anti theft switch, but who knows.

Sometimes patina goes a little too far Um-Kay! https://daytona.craigslist.org/pts/d/daytona-beach-datsun-280z/7500099304.html

An unknown start in Japan?
-
These were recently posted on FB. Seems relevant to the thread.
-
Yep, still available new from Nissan. I have some used ones but the chrome is not so good.
-
Wouldn't you be able to use the stock 280 horn pieces?
-
I have some fan shrouds as well. Just further West.

At least fuses are inexpensive to replace, and if yours are of an unknown age I would suggest replacing them all. Cheap insurance. IMHO. I have seen the price of these and many other parts going up and up. With a limited number of cars and popularity factor that is high, it rings true. Disconnecting the battery is always the safest method, can not go wrong there. I hope your repairs go smoothly.

Not much for Datsun stuff there. I did find this Harada antenna I know it is not from a Z but looks close in size and shape. I tried looking up the part number but did not find much. Anyone seen this one before and know the application? $10 I couldn't pass it up. I also ran across this truck tool kit with a new lug wrench and jack handle, the other part seems to be missing. It did have the paper in there though, and the bag is in good shape. Again $10 I could pass it up.

The ad says Chevy V8, which I thought was amusing given the license plate frame.
-
I have a few of those too. There are three wires. One ground. One comes from the door pin switch. The other is just 12V to the light so it will come on when you push the lens. If you swap the wires over one at a time you should be fine. You could also pull the fuse, or disconnect the battery if you like.

If you follow the date code : 3C = March 1973 GLWS
