Datsun-240z Vs Fairlady-z432

[Gav240z]

Hi Kats,

I found 2 more photos of the boot after it was removed from the car.

Perhaps it's not OEM as you say and aftermarket? I always thought it was original but now I think you may be correct?

[Gav240z]

By the way Kats, have you seen this?

Gavin, yes I checked that one . Nice boot 

I wish it used more bold thread,  with wider parallel stitchings along the joint .

Here is a development of the boot.

I think I can replicate 2 more from the vinyl sheet if I have the two grommets.

Each boot has each stitches. The NOS boot (shown on the left)  has decent stitches than my used boot. 

And this is the point , if it has decent stitches, you will see the square around the grommet.

I received the two grommets from Mike and I will be reproducing both. There is a slight .5mm difference in the heights of each.

nix240z, that is a great news, I am looking forward to seeing a reproduction grommet. 

And thanks to Mike  provided sample grommets.

The grommets turned out very nice.

Since there is a slight .5mm difference in the heights of each, I will offer both as a combo.

Hi, seeing those conversations of  'reploduction' here and there, now something is coming up in my mind.

I am having fun to list parts which are NLA from Nissan and other venders today, not only that , I picked those parts up which are visible at a car show and are very likely missing or deteriorated through the years.  

I do not want nix240z to feel that he is obligated to do it. Do not take it seriously, just I want to show what is in my mind.

1/battery cable clip

2/fuse cover 

3/fuse cover stopper teeth 

4/flasher knob

5/early spare tyre holder rubber cover

6/luggage belt clip

7/door dove tail original style

8/ 1971 and later shoulder belt clip

9/seat belts clip

10/early shoulder belt anchor washers 

11/early tyre stopper rubber band

12/ early seat bottom side cover

1/battery cable clip - I have never seen this but could do this one. I would think it is metal with a rubber coating. More pictures and a size drawing would help out. 

2/fuse cover - the white lettering would be hard so leaning to no.

3/fuse cover stopper teeth - could do this one. 

4/flasher knob - I cant figure how to get the knob off

5/early spare tyre holder rubber cover - working on this one right now.

6/luggage belt clip - could do this one

7/door dove tail original style - no

8/ 1971 and later shoulder belt clip - could do this one

9/seat belts clip -could do this one

10/early shoulder belt anchor washers  - could do this one

11/early tyre stopper rubber band - would pass on this one, new urethane rubber does not like to be stretched for a long period.

12/ early seat bottom side cover - working on the set right now. 

 

I really comes down to what I need for my car  and then the demand.

While my two 240s are far from stock, every time I read a post showing NLA parts being reproduced makes me smile. Who knows I might have a third Z in my future, one I keep stock. Of course I would have to keep a third Z a secret from my wife.

A tip of the hat to nix240Z.
