Our member Robin Foote happily announces he has discovered a source for the ultra-scarce neoprene inspection lid clips for the very early Datsun 240Z (built prior to June 1970).

An individual has been located who manufactures them on an as-needed basis. These clips are a MUST HAVE for owners of the very early 240Z, from Oct69 to (about) Jun70, when Datsun changed over to the permanent metal clips we're all familiar with today. If you want your very early 240Z to remain strictly stock and original, you must have these. They break with wear and, for the past 20+ years, they've been unattainable at any price. Datsun no longer makes them and doesn't want to talk to you about these.

Robin is putting together an order for a batch of these NOW. If you need them, you must have your order in with him not later than 01March. Price is $55 per pair, which includes mailing costs. Special shipping is available at higher rates.

Contact Robin before 01Mar:

Robin.raf(at)GMail.Com, or 401-741-1678. (This member's contact info posted with his permission).

The manufacturer of these clips cautions they work fine with original fenders, but might not align with certain aftermarket fenders, which differed in thickness and positioning of the anchor loops.

See picture below.

Looks like I have to place an order for two sets.

Is that $55 per pair the usual price we can get anytime, or it that a
special price based on consolidating a package deal?-- Vinnie and
Clive have kind of cleaned me out the past few weeks.................

You remember better than I do; I thought those on #171 were OK. But
I had better check it out while the checking is good. It will take a few
days due to some very pressing family matters.
