xcyter Posted February 17, 2009 Share #1 Posted February 17, 2009 I have a 72 240. My license plate light cover (black) is held on to the white plastic base that contains the bulbs by way of three screws. Im looking to replace it and Im being told that the 1 screw type is the same. I believe the single screw type is from later cars such as the 260 or 280. They look different, I dont know if they would fit back and forth. Perhaps some of you could help me out on this.

xcyter Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share #2 Posted February 18, 2009 One of you has to know this! The three screws can be seen standing behind your car! The single screw type shows only a smooth finish. Anyone?? Im in need of the three screw type as I believe it to be original, info anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter Moore Posted February 18, 2009 Share #4 Posted February 18, 2009 I remember my 71' having three screws holding it on. I don't know about the later cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xcyter Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share #6 Posted February 18, 2009 This is the configuration on my 05/72 HLS30....[ATTACH]28271[/ATTACH][ATTACH]28272[/ATTACH] Yes. That is how my 72 looks also. Every picture I look at for correct 240Z's has three screws holding the light cover on.. ...the only pics I can find showing no screws are of 260 and 280 Z's. anyone else know about this/ ?

barth4567 Posted February 18, 2009 Share #7 Posted February 18, 2009 Now I am not positive but believe that they are the same 1970 thru 1978. The three screw type that is. I am however sure that you can get a new one OEM from your Datsun dealer. Why not put the original back on? Just my two cents worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Bravo 6 Posted February 18, 2009 Share #8 Posted February 18, 2009 The license plate light on my 74/260Z doesn't look anything like that. There are no screws to be seen.Rick.:devious::devious: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomoHawk Posted February 18, 2009 Share #10 Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) My 78 license plate lamp is held on with two screws that are on the ledge, on either side of the hatch's latch. The bulbs are accesible after you remove the lamp. Sorry, no picture. Edited February 18, 2009 by TomoHawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
