A rather large pickup truck completed an unauthorized modification to my driver's side headlight scoop last summer, so I'm looking for a replacement. I see that MSA sells them, but I figured I'd check with people here in case anyone is trying to clear some garage space. The car is an April 1971 240Z, and currently has fiberglass scoops, so that's my preferred replacement material as well. I'm not worried about colour, because it'll be painted anyway. The car is the one @grannyknot documented here. I'm in Canada, but have a US mailing address I can use if anyone has a scoop, but doesn't want to ship to Canada.

Do you still need the scoop?

Indeed I do. I gave up on finding one used, and ordered one from MSA, who originally said they had one in stock, but a week later found that they didn't and are now forecasting 6-8 weeks to get one. If you have one, I'm interested!

So Driver’s side fiberglass. Let me put a magnet on it just to check. I have both left and right hand sides. I’ll check it out when I get to my shop today.

I've got one that is in fair shape, It is FRP. It does have a few cracks and one of the studs is broken off half way down, but definitely still useable with a bit of repair work. Let me know if you would like some pics. I'm in BC.

I'm sure I could manage to do the necessary repair work on the scoop, although I'd prefer not to! @CanTechZ , if you could send a couple of pictures that would be great. @Yarb, let me know whether yours is fiberglass and what sort of shape it's in. Thanks to both of you for responding! I'd really rather have a used part than a newly manufactured one!

Hi Dave, I totally get that about the repairs. Here are a few pics.

@CanTechZ It's certainly better than mine, and it looks like it could be cleaned up, although I'm no body repair guy! @Yarb were you able to check the one you have to determine whether it's fiberglass or metal? What sort of shape is it in?

Sorry about that friend. It slipped my my mind. I’ll make a note to check it today.

Fiberglass repairs on the early scoops are very easy as is replacement of broken mounting studs. I've done several. I currently have one I'm prepping for JDM style headlight covers that has a few cracks that I'll cover with fiberglass cloth before moving ahead.

No problem. I really appreciate you guys doing what you do to help out. This, among other things, is what makes this particular forum so great!

I've never done this sort of repair, but I'm confident that I could do it if I had to. These days there's so much good material out there on the internet (interspersed with the other stuff) that you can learn to do almost anything if you're at all handy, and are willing to put in the time. I'm not worried about the mounting studs. One of my original ones was broken and a fix looked pretty straightforward. Of course, I might have the luxury of sourcing one that doesn't require any work, and I might take the lazy path if it's available! I moved to a condo a couple of years ago, so I no longer have my three car garage or my enormous basement to work in. ☹️
