Since I started this thread, please do not consider this a hijacking! With all the innovation in 3D printing, does any have experience scanning the 240Z Chrome Strip and printing them with high resolution media. If successful, then the strip could be wrapped with a gloss silver chrome product (https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/dc/v100832898/). Thoughts? Keith

Charles, There is no weatherstip above the hinge plates, so they will rust quickly if not painted. The plating is not a substitute for primer, before laying down the paint. Please let me know when you have a pair available. Thanks, Keith

Since I will use an epoxy primer, I prefer not to have the parts plated. (Stripping off the plating is always a time consuming process.) Please keep me in mind if you have an unfinished pair. Thanks, Keith

Do you want original style vinyl or leather? Keith

All, The breather grommet changed during 240z production. Caption is model (not production) year. Keith

I was on a similar search for the brake cable boot for my Datsun 520. My solution was a a bicycle cable boot. I recommend you expand your search to include bike and motorcycle components. Let us know your success and failures. Keith

All, 1) Is the hook and loop (Velcro) sewn to the front (and rear???) carpet or is the stick on type of hook and loop? 2) Which part of the Velcro, the hook (rough side) or the loop (smooth side) is sewn to the carpet? The other side would be glued to the metal floor.) Thanks, Keith

Dennis, I prefer not to offer any negative comments in the setting of a public forum. (Unfortunately, my experience has had it's ups and downs, due greatly to suppliers of products.) I only extended an offer to personally share recent experiences with you. However, if you prefer a sanitized summary of my experience I can document that here. Keith

I am always ready to share the details of my recent conversations with Distinctive Industries, Seatz Manufacturing (Bryan), Motorsport Industries/The Z Store (Greg) and Classic Datsun Motorsports (Les). Keith

I have vast....I mean VAST experience with trying to recover 240Z seats... PM me with your phone number and I'll call you to share my challenges and successes! Keith

Since it is 520 Day the 240Z wanted a photo with his garage mate. Keith

Here is the closest material I have found: http://trf.zeni.net/webcatalog/specials9.35/38.php?s_wt=1133&s_ht=906 Unfortunately, it is light beige/cream natural color. I have found a supplier of natural dyes (https://www.jacquardproducts.com/procion-mx), who previously indicated he was too busy to take on the project of formulating a brown dye to match the original color. Hopefully, in the next few months I’ll have a quote of the pricing for the project. Keith
