280z 75 dovetails

[Dave WM]

I need one for the passenger side (missing) and the one on the driver has a broken mount hole (common from what I read).

So how do you guys like those billet ones that I read about? I am sure they have been around long enough to get some comment on fitment and function.

The OE's look nice but not sure I need to worry about that level of originality on my DD.

Thx

Dave

What's a dovetail?

the door latch on my 75 has this http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/classic02o02e02/10-9008

use for taking some of the load off the hinge pins when the door is closed from what I understand. Mounted on the bottom of the latch on the door.

I've had a set of the billet ones on my 73 for 5+ years. No sign of wear or damage. Much tougher than the originals.

I got the billet ones today installed, look great, work great.
