The thickness of my reproduction jute is 9.59 mm. Keith

For USDM, the early Z (Series 1) was delivered with a rubber mats. A California based trim shop (Chester and Herod Auto Carpets, not located in Texas) manufactured a five (5) piece carpet set which was generally installed or included in the rear hatch area prior to the vehicle being delivered to the dealer. Some dealers overlayed the carpet on the rubber mats. Some dealers removed the rubber mats prior to installing the carpet. It is still unclear whether the jute underlay was factory installed under the rubber mat. Why would Nissan have an underlay (that could potentially trap moisture) under a rubber mat? Sound deadening perhaps? Keith

Prototype: Natural color Final color: I have not yet trimmed the cutouts….I am still attempting to confirm the actual cutouts based on my 240Z production date. The material I source is 39+/- 1" in width, currently I can purchase 10 yards, imported from overseas. I then have to have the material color matched. I then have to hang the material outside to reduce the fumes. The materials, chemicals, and labor for the two front mats shown above are approximately $450 all in (this is a set I plan to use). As I have discovered on some samples, the color did not penetrate 100% of the material, leaving some of the original uncolored material evident. Therefore, I may have to have the material color matched after cutting to pattern. I have not tested the color for colorfastness, off-gassing in an enclosed vehicle, and water repellency or absorption. Therefore, I consider any sample and my set a prototype. At this juncture, it is not feasible to offer large pieces to others. I want to get some samples to Z owners for their feedback. Once I have confidence in the process and product I will make it available to the Z community. Keith

I have this one. PM me an offer if you are interested. Keith

Here are three (3) variations of fuel/gas cap chains used to attached the cap to the retainer ring. Does anyone know the model year/series/production year of the various chains. Thanks, Keith

I recently visited the International Motor Racing Research Center (IMRRC) in Watkins Glen, NY (https://www.racingarchives.org/). Unfortunately, their collection of Datsun/Nissan information is quite limited. (I have attached photos of the titles currently in the archives.) Should you (or your family) decide to donate your Datsun/Nissan literature, please consider IMRRC a worthy caretaker of historical racing (or other) publications. Keith

I am still seeking guidance on Model Year or Production Timeframe the chain feature was added to the early style cap. Thanks, Keith
