It is a gasket between the sugar scoop and the fender.

Any idea on a source for those? Those aren't the ones for the headlight to bucket are they?

NLA at Nissan. Not for the headlight, a thin gasket where the sugar scoop fits against the fender. They had completely disappeared from my car by the time I took it apart. I made no attempt to replicate for my build.

Are there any pictures around for what they looked like? I might try to replicate them.

I dropped off the remainder of my panels at the paint shop today. I suspect they will be ready next week.

I dont believe that is the same item. I believe there is supposed to be another seal a the bucket to fender joint

 

Edit: checking car parts manual shows totally different part numbers

Worked on the fuel tank and vent lines today. Made gaskets for the wiper pivots

Expander in the filler neck. A tip for the future, put the tank straps into the car body before lifting the tank into place. They are difficult to get in after the fact. I made some progress on the tank but I need a spring to keep the top front port on the tank from collapsing and I didn't have enough double wire hose clamps

Does anyone know of a source the marker light screws? I would like to purchase them in bulk...

BelMetric doesn't seem to carry that kind of screw

All of mine have come from rotted out / damaged lights that I parted out. I have a small supply of the shorter ones.

I believe the 300zx might have used a similar stainless screw in black. If I could find those, I would bead blast them or buff them...

Ordered 10pcs of 01451-00041 from Courtesy parts. We'll see if they're black or clear finished. They're not real cheap
