Door Armrest Chrome Finisher attachment

[882993md]

Hi everyone:

I used carpartsmanual.com to locate the part number/name for this plastic piece that the armrest chrome finisher attaches to and it doesn't list it. Does anyone know if this is possibly used on another Nissan model? What it is the name of the piece so I can try to locate it maybe on ebay? Thank you.

That white attachment piece is a bit of a unicorn to find.  I happened to find a guy parting out a Z on Datsun Parts and Needs (FB) when I was looking for parts and specifically asked about them. That was a lucky day.

Good luck!

Here is the replacement chrome piece if you need that.

The one pictured doesn't appear to the in too bad of shape. Mine were stripped and one actually crumbled in my fingers.  I've wondered how hard it would be to replicate of fabricate these?  I suppose making a mould of a good one would be the place to start but I have no experience in that area.  It's all plastic that is somewhat flexible.

Here is a shot that shows a little more definition.

Looks like a perfect part to reproduce with a 3D printer.
