Chart505 Posted April 24, 2009 Share #1 Posted April 24, 2009 MSA is backordered for months on this kit. Black Dragon is out as well. Anyone know where I can get the full kit for a 2/75 production 280? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone_Star Posted April 24, 2009 Share #2 Posted April 24, 2009 I ordered a weatherstrip kit from MSA and was told 3-4 weeks backorder, so will see how long it takes. But while shopping, I found kits at the following venders;www.datsunrestore.comDatsun 240Z 260Z 280Z Weather Stripping Kit Datsun 240Z 260Z (1974 - 6/1975 16pc Kit) 246.95 www.blackdragonauto.com59-741 RUBBER SEAL KIT 1 REQ 299.95 $299.95 I am sure there are others, but those are the ones that I bookmarked.

Bruce Palmer Posted April 24, 2009 Share #3 Posted April 24, 2009 We at ZTherapy are proud to announce that we too have joined the ranks of the weatherstrip "out house". Ever since the supplier moved to the mid-west, "in order to streamline our operations" things have pretty well gone to hell in a hand basket supply wise.

conedodger Posted April 24, 2009 Share #4 Posted April 24, 2009 I think the supplier was Precision Rubber Products or something like that... They were in the PacNW. I guess I should feel lucky to have my box of weatherstripping in the garage... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowCarbZ Posted April 24, 2009 Share #5 Posted April 24, 2009 I waited almost 5 or 6 months last year for my kit to arrive from MSA. Luckily I wasn't in a hurry to put it in and it didn't keep me from driving the car any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zup Posted April 24, 2009 Share #6 Posted April 24, 2009 Try Oliver at: http://www.zspecialties.com or http://www.datsunstore.com He carries the Precision weatherstripping. Jim D. "Zup" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chart505 Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share #7 Posted April 24, 2009 FYI I just scored one thru Black Dragon- I needed the 260-early 280 kit, they have 2 left if you need one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonetreesteve Posted April 26, 2009 Share #8 Posted April 26, 2009 I bought all 3 of my weatherstrip kits for my 240Z projects from the same seller on Ebay called Glendaletruckparts (out of the Phoenix area). All 3 sets made for 240Z/260Z & 280Z. There were a couple of extra pieces for 280Zs only (upper door weatherstrip set) that I ended up selling on Ebay. All 3 sets were manufactured by Precision, were fully complete, excellent in quality, fit very well and at a decent price. The last set I bought a little over a year ago for my latest project was $225.00 plus $25.00 shipping. The 2 previous 2 sets I bought a few years back were $200.00 plus $25.00 shipping. I just checked Ebay and it doesn't look like he has any listed right now. He may have run out again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1970Datsun240z Posted April 28, 2009 Share #9 Posted April 28, 2009 I just got a weatherstrip kit for my 240z from Black Dragon. It was $200. I haven't put it on yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonetreesteve Posted May 2, 2009 Share #10 Posted May 2, 2009 (edited) The Precision weatherstrip kits that I talked about earlier are back on Ebay, still out of Phoenix, but under a different name: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/DATSUN-COMPLETE-WEATHERSTRIP-KIT-DATSUN-240Z-260Z-280Z_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ66Q3a2Q7c65Q3a7Q7c39Q3a1Q7c240Q3a1318Q7c301Q3a0Q7c293Q3a1Q7c294Q3a50QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem4a97536bd8QQitemZ320366406616QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories Edited May 2, 2009 by lonetreesteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNIXZGO Posted May 3, 2009 Share #11 Posted May 3, 2009 why would you use like three different usernames? I noticed they're using another name out of Surprise, Ariz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonetreesteve Posted May 3, 2009 Share #12 Posted May 3, 2009 why would you use like three different usernames? I noticed they're using another name out of Surprise, Ariz.I'm not exactly sure, but I would guess that they changed it from GlendaleTruckParts since they also sell parts for cars and not just the truck market. What's the third name? All I can say is whatever their name is, I was very happy with the three weatherstrip kits I purchased from them and my body guy really likes the quality and fit when he installs the kits on my Zs.
