Hi Katz,

Is the jute you have a roll of still available from the manufacturer?  I'd like to source some.  I am able to source this jute from a British car specialty shop (the CUF1/J - Underfelt), named the Roadster Factory, but it is a bit different.  It is not as thick and would also have to be dyed brown.

Hi inline6, unfortunately my roll was discontinued some 15 years ago. I wasn’t told the name of the manufacturer , I was just told this was provided by the manufacturer who made for Nissan as genuine parts .

This roll is 10 mm thick , the well known shop “ Revive Jalopy “ in Japan used to have them and cut them to bespeak for each individual car . 
 

Now Revive Jalopy has an alternative solution for the jute , they finally found 5mm thick jute and they glue it together, and dye it with brown special liquid. Price is on request (probably not cheap for the jute ) if you are interested in , let me know.

By the way , this 919 yellow 240Z is so nice . What makes me feel amazing is , the dashboard and seats . They are unbelievably beautiful, and intact as more than 50 years old car . These items are everyone’s top concern if someone wants to be purist. We can’t have them restored 100 % original. We have to find periodically correct perfect dashboard or seats . Otherwise we have to compromise on results of restoration some how .

inline6 , you may already see this thread ,https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/8002-original-jute-material/#comments

post # 99 and after , our members provided useful link for the jute .

Please note the correct orientation of the Nihon radiator decal.

I checked it . The decal shows 0 K , November 1970. So a heater box should have the same “ 0 K “ or could be “ 0 L “ on a decal . 


NIHON RADIATOR, they called themselves “ NICHIRA “ . I am guessing this 919 yellow car should have “NICHIRA 20100-E4100  70  11 (or 12)  “ on the surface of a rear muffler.

This car also remains a center muffler , so we will see 70 11(or 12) on it as well . This car is very original. I wish I could have it .

Now they're arguing over the color and wood specie of the shift knob!?!!

It's a dirty job, but somebody's got to do it.

Seriously, that's just the type of rivet-counting that we need to be doing here at classiczcars.com. Here today, gone tomorrow posts on the likes of Bring-A-Troller and Farcebook are just not good enough.

There are plenty of things still to be understood regarding the S30-series Z, and plenty of myths still to be dispelled.

Is that in all locations, or does it vary?  Like in the hatch area - same thickness as floors?

I measured my 03/70 jute , and my raw jute . I can’t really say what thickness  is “correct “ because it is varying depends on place .Rear deck is 7.42 mm but under seats area 13.74 mm .Probably the place where we pushed down tend to be less thickness. And I may not measure it correctly anyway.


My raw jute is 12.15 mm slightly thinner than the one on my car . Does special liquid would increase volume?
According to Nissan service Shuho Fairlady Z , it said the jute is for sound deadening and it is “ Asphalt jute” .

Asphalt , was it dipped in Asphalt? Interesting!
