Here is the closest material I have found: http://trf.zeni.net/webcatalog/specials9.35/38.php?s_wt=1133&s_ht=906 Unfortunately, it is light beige/cream natural color. I have found a supplier of natural dyes (https://www.jacquardproducts.com/procion-mx), who previously indicated he was too busy to take on the project of formulating a brown dye to match the original color. Hopefully, in the next few months I’ll have a quote of the pricing for the project. Keith

Esprist, Your website shows a set (https://jdm-car-parts.com/collections/interior-trim-nissan-datsun-fairlady-z-240z-260z-280z-280zx/products/datsun-240z-1969-1971-seat-cover-set?variant=1045889564). 1) Are these Distinctive Industries or Seatz manufactued set? 2) Can you provide a link to the "exact matching ones from Japan for a cost of $450 a set"? Thanks, Keith

Went out to the garage to look at the 240Z... Said a small prayer to offer thanks that friends and family are healthy... Said "Good Riddance" to 2020... Went back in the house to to greet 2021 with renewed energy!!!!

Contacted MSA/ZStore to inquire about an upholstery kit for delivery in 2021. Keith

Has anyone purchased and installed the ZStore/MSA Vinyl Seat Kit OEM Style Upholstery Restoration Kits (https://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/CTGY/classic08f01) during 2020? If so, what is your opinion on the similarity of the vinyl grain pattern to the original vinyl that Nissan used? Thanks, Keith

“The little seal for the control rod used to be available from NAPA, but as of 2016 it appears to be NLA.“ What was the NAPA part number? Thanks, Keith

Thanks all. My project is a seat latch assembly that is 3" long. It will not be touched very often, so the finish does not have to be as hard as real chrome. Has anyone used Molotow Burner Chrome Spray Paint https://www.hobbytown.com/molotow-burner-chrome-spray-paint-150ml-mlw443/p823931 Keith

Hog rings...some better than others

Anyone have experience with Spazstix Ultimate Mirror Chrome (https://www.hobbyrecreationproducts.com/collections/spazstix-ultimate-mirror-chrome)? I have an interior trim part that needs a chrome appearance and I am concerned that this paint will not be durable enough to withstand the fingerprint touching. Thanks for your input. Keith
