Bonzi Lon and fuzze, Do you have a close-up photo of the original Nissan fastener/rivet used to attach the original rubber seat strap to the seat clip? I am most interested in the head shape (positioned close to the seat foam) and the washer/crushed fastener end that is positioned on the opposite side. Thanks, Keith

From my research all 1970-1978 had the protectors. The later model 240Z seat that had the reclining mechanism had a different shape to the clear plastic, but same gauge material. Keith

Nice!!!

The WSJ is very restrictive on access to their articles. Try this link: https://amedpost.com/when-datsun-met-corvette-sparks-flew/ Keith

National attention from an authoritative publication. Enjoy reading the Wall Street Journal. Keith https://www.wsj.com/articles/when-datsun-met-corvette-sparks-flew-11569942100

To clarify, my quest is for the 2-3/8" metal clips...not the fastener (rivet) or the hog ring. Thanks, Keith

The clip material diameter is 1/8". It would require considerable time to create a jig to hold the steel rod immobile for the tight bends of the clips. Keith

I need sixteen (16) Datsun 240Z seat strap metal clips. Does anyone have a resource to share? (Zeddsaver will have some stainless steel ones soon, but I prefer to continue on with my project in the next couple of weeks.) Thanks for the referrals. Keith

I have a set available. See: 1972-1975 Fuel cap and ring (new plating) Keith

Any recent development to report on the Jute topic? Thanks, Keith

Kats, I have obtained a sample of a light blue/green cloth. Do you still have the original cloth on your seat bottoms to confirm the color match? (If so, I would mail you a small sample for verification purposes.) Keith

January 2019 orders completed. Thanks to all. I have to research a way to simply the production, these pieces require custom cutting and it is very difficult to make all precise cuts. Keith
