Can anyone identify the model year application for the left throttle bell housing pivot (TBHP) ? (The right TBHP appears to be from a 1970 240Z.) Thanks, Keith

What is the production period this pan is appropriate for? Thanks, Keith

Is this jute sewn to the carpet of your Dec 1971 US 240Z? Also, heel pad appears identical to mine shown in #138 above. Keith

Kats, I believe the "L" vehicles had some "luxury" features, including the driver and passenger floor carpeting. My 1970 circa heel pad is shown below Please post a photo of Watanabe san’s car's heel pad. Thanks, Keith

Kats, Is Watanabe san’s car a Fairlady Z-L( https://global.nissannews.com/en/releases/release-13d7bc8a1f613356fb7f04775611b5c4/photos/1)? Regards, Keith

The thickness of my reproduction jute is 9.59 mm. Keith

For USDM, the early Z (Series 1) was delivered with a rubber mats. A California based trim shop (Chester and Herod Auto Carpets, not located in Texas) manufactured a five (5) piece carpet set which was generally installed or included in the rear hatch area prior to the vehicle being delivered to the dealer. Some dealers overlayed the carpet on the rubber mats. Some dealers removed the rubber mats prior to installing the carpet. It is still unclear whether the jute underlay was factory installed under the rubber mat. Why would Nissan have an underlay (that could potentially trap moisture) under a rubber mat? Sound deadening perhaps? Keith

Prototype: Natural color Final color: I have not yet trimmed the cutouts….I am still attempting to confirm the actual cutouts based on my 240Z production date. The material I source is 39+/- 1" in width, currently I can purchase 10 yards, imported from overseas. I then have to have the material color matched. I then have to hang the material outside to reduce the fumes. The materials, chemicals, and labor for the two front mats shown above are approximately $450 all in (this is a set I plan to use). As I have discovered on some samples, the color did not penetrate 100% of the material, leaving some of the original uncolored material evident. Therefore, I may have to have the material color matched after cutting to pattern. I have not tested the color for colorfastness, off-gassing in an enclosed vehicle, and water repellency or absorption. Therefore, I consider any sample and my set a prototype. At this juncture, it is not feasible to offer large pieces to others. I want to get some samples to Z owners for their feedback. Once I have confidence in the process and product I will make it available to the Z community. Keith

I have this one. PM me an offer if you are interested. Keith

I recently visited the International Motor Racing Research Center (IMRRC) in Watkins Glen, NY (https://www.racingarchives.org/). Unfortunately, their collection of Datsun/Nissan information is quite limited. (I have attached photos of the titles currently in the archives.) Should you (or your family) decide to donate your Datsun/Nissan literature, please consider IMRRC a worthy caretaker of historical racing (or other) publications. Keith
