Worn Shift Boot - your experiences 1 2

My interior looks quite good apart from the shift boot which looks rather old and tatty, it is also splitting around the top where the leather strips tie it down around the shifter, nasty! I am sure it is the original one, can someone confirm whether the original item was made of vinyl and not leather. Anyone had experience of purchasing this item new? Were you happy with the fit and originality of the replacement? And any recommendations as to where I should get one from? Thanks!

Interior rear tail light panel, how should it be attached?

After going over the car replacing things that need to be replaced I've come across a lot of the previous owners "creative" solutions (substituting random fasteners is the big one!). The interior tail light panel on my car is screwed down with some silver/chrome screws that don't seem like they belong there. This seems like a place for some plastic rivets, not a screw with a pretty long pitch and a point at the end (to my untrained eye at least). On top of that, the holes these screws attached to underneath the panel didnt look like they originally had threads at all. I looked over my FSM and the microfiche CD and couldn't find a diagram or description of how it was origi…

Alright, if you saw in the main discussion, I posted a link to my datsun, the 280zx. Anyways, my interior is in poor shape too. Vinyl and carpet is no problem, but can anybody post for me a link to where I can get a new dash and other interior pieces? Also can somebody tell me what goes in the spot to the right of the ashtray?

Where can I find 280Z interior photos ?

Ok, I know tfhis is very basic, but I've searched the forums and can't find the answer. Since I'm a newbie at Z restoration (3 days !) I would like to see photos of stock 280Z interiors. While most of my interior components are in good condition, I'm not sure they are correct - for example, my interior is Coffee Brown, but the door arm rests are black. Is this correct? TIA, Ken:stupid:

Allright all, A few questions regarding carpet replacement. 1. What is the best replacement carpet available? 2. Does the carpet cover the areas where there is diamond vinyl/plastic? 3. Do the carpet kits cover the shock towers? 4. I recently visited a site where i saw electric blue carpet kits as well as many other colors. Can anyone lead me in the right direction again?

Man, I'm just full of questions today. I LOVE THIS SITE!! I need to remove pan rust as well as rust on other spots on the interior. 1. What works best for removal (wire brush on drill or elbow grease)? 2. Should I prime and paint after removal (entire interior or spot)? 3. Should I install noise dampening material or OEM type padding before laying carpet?

Alternative for Door Panel Attachment Clips

Those clips that push into the doors and hook onto the door planels should go. Well, most of the slots on my door panels are broken from whoever worked on the car before. So, I had the idea of some kind of threaded insert that would go in the hole so you can use some decorative SCREWS to attach the door panels, and whatever other panels, like the ones behind the seats (speaker panels), and maybe even some of the plastic parts. Maybe something like a 10mm diameter pop-rivet with a threaded shank? thx.
