So they were welded closed?

not sure, possibly. i went and looked at the hatch a minute ago (its all at my painters). even looking from the inside i cant see or feel where the holes were originally. So, i will most likely need to re-drill them.

 

Have the painter sand the area. If it's just filler, drilling is unnecessary.

last what are small recessed things that hold in emblems. some kinda clips

 

Wally,

We have a '71 series 2 car coming in. It is also missing the hatch emblems. I can take pictures and messurements for you when it arrives. Will this car give you what you need? Is series 1 and series 2 different?

It may have had a spoiler sometime in it's life. Mine does and the holes are filled in, emblems are mounted on the spoiler. 

I'm pretty sure they are the same for series 1 and 2, here are measurements from my 1970. The datum for measurement is the lower right corner of hatch. The bottom edge of the hatch is curved so instead of the that edge I drew a line at right angle to the right edge for the vertical dimensions. I hope that makes sense.

you guys are awesome. exactly what i was needing. thanks

 

CanTechZ,

Nice job. Great grid. Thanks for doing that, now I don't have to.

Awesome idea!

Maybe @CanTechZ could mail you a copy of his template.

 

Here is a scan of my sketch, if you print on 8.5" x 11" paper and select "actual size" it will print to scale.

 

1970 240Z HATCH EMBLEM HOLES.pdf

Hello everyone. I have almost the same problem with my ´72 240Z, but in my case it´s regarding the side fender DATSUN emblems.  they filled the holes when they painted the car years ago and recently I bought a pair of new emblems. The paint itself is in good condition so I´d prefer not to have to sand the area to locate those little holes. I hope somebody can help me. Thank you in advance.
