Do you want to sell the louvered ones?

Also - many of the other suppliers will simply put the part on "Back-Order" rather than cancel the order. Then you wind up waiting months to find out that it is never coming in.

We have found that Nissan Canada is a different parts distribution system - in the past they have been able to order parts from Japan -that the US Nissan Parts System would not order from Japan - even if the parts were still available in Japan.

Frankly it is amazing that any parts for a 40 Plus year old car are still avaliable.

Good luck,

I can get just about any part I need from the dealer for my 1969 Volvo 1800S. They are expensive, but they ARE available. Nissan doesn't seem to be as good about it, but they can't be as bad as VW/Audi is. As far as I understand it, manufacturers are required by law (at least in the US) to supply parts for 11 years from the data of manufacture, and VW/Audi cuts it off on the dot, and when you ask about older parts they just tell you to buy a new VW or Audi. I have a 1985 Audi I can't get a lot of parts for because the local dealer up here threw away a whole bunch of parts for anything older than 1995 a couple years back!

I tend to keep everything, but I'll let you know you if I decide to sell them.
