Thanks gentleman, and thanks for the welcome! Well that's a load off. I'm not really that much of a stickler, but i'd prefer to maintain a healthy degree of originality so it's good to know the PO didn't just stick a 280Z gas door on there or something. No offense to 280 owners of course!
Howdy! I'm in the process of "refreshing" my 72 (series II) and am in somewhat of a quandary. The gas door on my car was replaced at some point by the previous owner (obvious color mismatch) and simply has a finger indent that it is pulled open by. As far as i can tell this is one of three different gas doors made for the Z and i can't find a solid reference as to which is correct for my car. I searched "gas door" and the only real concrete thing i could find was that 70-71's definitely had the lock. The only reference Wick Humble provides in his book is that "early Z's" had the lock or latch. Whether he means 240's in general or just series 1 240's is a little unclear. Any 72 owners out there care to clue me in?
