That's part nr: 43 on this exploded view.. if anyone is interessted in a complete nr: 41 set of left and right. brandnew.. i got a set.. 😉 

I ditched the original boxes and i have painted them an extra layer of black but they are never used complete front legs.. (sorry not for cheap..)

( Sorry, no pics of them as they lay on a attic over (above) the 4 post lift and  has not easy access.. )

Got lucky with this purchase this morning - a NOS hatch lock!  And it comes with two of the old style keys!  I bought a lock from Kuwait recently for a Cedric that came with two of these keys.  Using a lock tumbler kit, I started rekeying my locks (which is not difficult).  And now, this comes along.  🙂  Sometimes this happens: I buy one thing to solve a need (need two old style OEM keys), and then find a better deal that solves another (hatch cylinder even after re-keying was quite worn).  

So, now, I will have two sets of these old style keys, but a new hatch cylinder without wear (and no need to have the lock cylinder outer sleeve re-chromed).  I also was able to find another Datsun tumbler kit.  This one has the ignition switch tumblers.

Is this that mirror?

It's that one sure enough.

 

Says the auction is blocked because it may not be shipped internationally.

 

And I really don't want to spend that much...

Regarding the block, I have found that in some cases, you just have to request Jauce to look into it, and it will become unblocked.  In other words, just because it says it may not be shipped internationally, doesn't mean that is actually the case.  I was able to buy a couple of items recently that were both blocked for the same reason, initially.

Price is what it is.  Maybe another one will come along, or somebody here may have a used one to sell for less.

Good info about Jauce. 

Price is always what it is...I've got something in the interim and I can make a good custom mount that'll go where the original did.

two cents,

ebay and other market places maybe losing inventory / listings of good/rare parts with all auto brands. 1099K required on a single/accumulative sales $600.00 (to release the funds).

That's capitalism for you in the US, the Fed's involved in your depreciated/appreciated 50 year old parts. Wonder when they'll get around to tracking your overall purchases/dollars spent on the these platform?

Moved away from these market places to local clubs and communities, cash and carry. Making discovery of good parts more difficult.

Until cash isn't an option 😞

Was that keying kit an eBay find?

I have this belief that, generally speaking, successful selling and buying should be getting easier, not more difficult.  If I had to source parts by dealing with local club members, or my local community, I am afraid it would cost me more and take me longer, and actually, I doubt I could source everything I need.  

It is apparent to me that the classifieds section of our forum is not a hot location to look for parts.  But why is that the case?  It seems to me that it has a couple of advantages over other options.  For example, there are no seller fees, which is like 12.9% of the sale price on eBay.
