February 11, 200916 yr comment_273797 There are a few recent threads concerning this piece. This is a topic that comes up frequently. I think if I needed one I would be organizing a group buy and have several shipped from the source in Australia. They are stackable and the shipping cost could be trimmed substantially. Just a thought. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=33228 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/30789-need-a-clue-72-240-tail-gate-plate/#findComment-273797 Share on other sites More sharing options...
February 11, 200916 yr comment_273809 The rear hatch sill plate - or threshold plate - was originally part of the Assy Panel Rear 79100-E4650.Nissan had the threshold plate reproduced for the Vintage Z Program. While they were available, they sold for around $125.00 retail. The last one's that some of the aftermarket vendors had - sold for around $250.00 as I recall.I have a Restoration Parts List somewhere - but can't find it right now...Other then finding one that someone has stuck away - you might find a good parts car to take one out of... or metal patch the one you have...The reproductions from Australia are good - but they are not perfect reproductions.FWIW,Carl B.
