I bought several rubber seals from vintagerubber.com before i painted my car. However after a year of installed i have found some of them broken due to bad installation or quality. Any better source for quality and fit?

My 1972 240z has both the original bumpers and bumper guards. I have already rechromed the 4 bumper guards and they were finished nicely. Nevertheless, the chrome on the rear bumper on my 1972 240z is already worn due to its age and lack of maintenance of its previous owners. Is it recommedable to rechrome the full bumper or should i buy a new one. The shop that rechromes in Panama charges US$275.00 and needs the cut the bumper as it does not fit completely in the chroming tub. I have read that the new ones have issues and are made in taiwan and not the same size and quality as the original ones. Is this true? They also have fitting issues!

Can anyone help me ID this front lip? It came with my 72' when I bought it and it's painted to match, but when I hold it up under the front, I don't see how it could possibly line up. There seems to be some lettering on it as well.

Just got my car back from the paintshop and noticed that even though they covered the dashboard during the paint procedure, my car got really dusted and i found some tracer of spray paint on top of the dashboard! Anyone knows of any product that can help me remove the paint without damaging the dashboard of my 72 240z? in the picture shown you can notice that there was a tape that covered one space the rest is sprayed. Thinner or varsol????

Yesterday was a rainy day. Drove my 240z for a while and discovered 2 water leaks on the rear window. All my gaskets are new and were bought to vintage rubber which is supposed to be high quality. How can i fix this???

My DIY windshield replacement project is off to a rough start. This evening I went about installing the new Precision gasket before doing anything on the the car. Once I got across the top I felt I had a problem but went ahead and pushed the rest of the gasket on thinking the arc in the glass would take up the slack. It did not! If anyone has a windshield sitting around can you give me some reference measurements? I need to find out the glass is too small or the gasket is too big. The windshield is a FYG piece that is made in China, part# FW241. Based on what I can find this a good quality replacement and a seller on Ebay has sold 56 of them. Any help with some me…

hey all, I am bolting both front fenders back on my 71 240z project today, and I can't remember where these funky L spacers go? I know they came off the front fenders because I bagged and tagged them with the rest of the fender hardware during removal 12 years ago and I have 2 of them per fender. But to much time and too many beers ago, so any help here will be a start and thank you.

I would like to replace the hinges on the driver's door of my '78. On eBay, you will see them listed as Datsun 240z 260z 280z RH side door hinge set so you either ignore that one or look into the microfiche, which I don't have any more. Sometimes the later models have a similar part but are different than the earlier ones. In stead, I'll ask if they are all equivalent. thxZ

I have the body panels left from my parts car (a 1978) and I won't be needing them, along with all the lights and some other things. Since there is basically no way for the ordinary person to box and ship things like wings and bonnets, I thought that I could take all but the bonnet to a reseller for a bit of cash. Otherwise, it's only worth the price of scrap steel. Besides an automotive reseller, is there any other place that might accept good-condition Zed sheetmetal?
