Posted March 14, 200520 yr comment_116710 Hi All. I was wondering where I could source a set of new tail light panel tabs for my 240z...the ones that are actually welded to the body in which the tail light panel clips connect to.The body shop removed these tabs when they replaced my rear pan, and I'm having a hard time finding replacements.Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/15305-tail-light-panel-tab-source-not-panel-clips/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
March 14, 200520 yr comment_116734 How about having the body shop that removed them, complete the job and reinstall them. Did they think the tail light assemblies were just going to grow new ones or something! :tapemouth Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/15305-tail-light-panel-tab-source-not-panel-clips/#findComment-116734 Share on other sites More sharing options...

March 14, 200520 yr comment_116752 That is what they are paid to know better than to do!Did they just open? With a problem like that I would have to be right over their shoulder-who knows what they goofed up that you don't know about.I guess you will after a couple of rains-I hope you got a guarantee that is enforceable.I hate it for you.

March 14, 200520 yr Author comment_116767 That's what I thought too. The bodyshop manager, the body man, and the painter worked on a few of the cars for the Datsun restoration program. I tried getting some tabs from Danny Datsun, but they were in poor condition (pretty much rusted out). :disappoin Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/15305-tail-light-panel-tab-source-not-panel-clips/#findComment-116767 Share on other sites More sharing options...
March 14, 200520 yr comment_116775 If you can't find some good ones in the Pick N Pull yards of So Cal, I'd be surprised, but try someone else then. There is a thread in the Tech Articles forum listing Used Z Parts Sellers.Eric Neyerlin's Z Parts, Z Barn, Bad Dog, etc, etc. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/15305-tail-light-panel-tab-source-not-panel-clips/#findComment-116775 Share on other sites More sharing options...
