Chrome Drip Rails - Where?

[Mike]

Where do I buy the crome drip rails for my '71 240z ? Are they still available from the part houses?

Mike:

I don't think that these are available from Nissan any more, but I do see used ones on eBay occasionally.

I couldn't find a listing in the MSA or Vic Brit catalog for them either.

You might try Eric Neyerlin at ZPARTS.COM He often has this type of hard to find item stashed away. just a thought.

Of course, there are some of us who have a couple extra sets..:stupid:

Sorry but I do not know what drip rails are. Are they the rain gutters above the doors? Can someone please educate me.

[2ManyZs]

owenk, they are talking about the chrome rails above the door that fit over the rain gutter.

Another place to look for them would be Andy Russell, at emailus@zcarsofarizona.com if you don't want to try used ones.

I have a set also stored away, but I'm afriad to sell them because they might get destroyed in shipping. They're very easy to bend just removing them off the car!

[Mike]

Kmack/2manyZs, are they new sets ? Or, at least in good condition so I can use them on my restoration project?

I'm interested if you are willing to sell.

There's got to be a way to ship them safely. Maybe tape them to a piece of wood and put that in a box?

Let me know what you think.

Mike:

Call Mike at All Z East, they're moving out a lot of parts and cars and he should be able to find you a pair in good condition.

His number is 800-533-5659, and you can either drive up to Gresham or have them shipped to you.

Mine came off a parts car. They may have a small dent or two, I can't remember as it's been awhile since I've looked at them.

My first suggestion would be to try and find some locally. Then if that fails, search them out. Shipping safely would be the biggest concern.

[2ManyZs]

Mine are used also. If you can't find any close to you, let one of us know and we'll try to send a pair.

I think I have at least one or two sets, maybe more, so I should be able to come up with one decent set....
