Consider 3M double sided adhesive. Using the barrel clips or other pins may remove the paint in the hole and expose the bare metal to potential corrosion. Keith

I first spoke to Dave at Dallas Car Care in 2012, he was rebuilding the car for his own use. He sounded like he wanted to do the build correctly, rather than slap the car together and resell. You are very fortunate to have bought the 240Z, there were several people interested in it. Keith

Jim, This is a great resource, thank you for sharing. Keith

Is this heel pad original to the 1970 240Z carpet that was installed prior to delivery to the original buyer? Thanks, Keith

Does anyone have the part number for the Gas door bumpers? Thanks, Keith

Steve, I am working on a couple of other Datsun/Nissan projects. Do you have an interest on reproducing some other rubber (neoprene) small parts? Keith

Now available: The chrome strips are also available individually. Link to Kip Motor Company web site: Category - Datsun Keith

Stacey acquired a Yellow Nissan Patrol (Updates: Rescuing the Yellow Nissan Patrol | Stacey David's GearZ). It would be great if you could inquire on the status of that project. Thanks, Keith

Here is one that pretty close to original. Slide Show Keith

If you get a passion for Patrols there are some outhere that need a bit less attention to start enjoying. Keith

A fellow Texan is always welcome to the Forum. If you have a bit of time, take a look at jfa.series1s posts. He has done a wonderful job documenting the preservation of a Z car. Keith

Montezuma, PM sent. Keith

Keep me in mind if you find any 1966-1972 PL520/PL521 or 1963-1974 Patrol L60/G60 parts. Keith

Jerry, I would be interested in the template to add my VIN and other info. Thanks, Keith

If you are looking to restore a post August 1974 Z car, this is your chance for a NLA strut insert: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-240Z-56105-N3725-Strut-Cartridge-New-OEM-/181000655158?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2a247ad136&vxp=mtr Ad: "Datsun New Strut Cartridge in its origial packaging manufacturers part number 56105-N3725" Keith

Welcome. What part of Texas are you in? Keith

Pete, Welcome. Photos of the Hatch Hinge Boots would be appreciated. Keith

Congratulations Jim Keith

Back in 1987 I was visiting the Henry Ford Museum and came across this model “Datsun 240Z”. I failed to make note of the details on the exhibit card. From the rear bumper rubber finisher, it appears to be a 1972 or 1973. Note, the lack of fender badge and rubber bumper trim. Does anyone have additional information on this model? Thanks, Keith

Z-man, You may consider starting a Poll to determine interest in specific items. Keith

For a Series I: Throttle control handle Battery cover Seat guard (pair) The above could be easily reproduced if there were enough people interested in purchasing the parts. Keith
