Administrators gav240z Posted January 13, 2014 Administrators Posted January 13, 2014 I think I've seen some on eBay or Yahoo! auctions around the $200 AU mark. Let me know if you want the links to the products and I'll look it up. Quote

red76z Posted January 14, 2014 Author Posted January 14, 2014 Thanks Gav240z The link you sent has the right style but the english is a bit :-\. Cheers mate. Quote
sydney mike Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Thanks Gav240z The link you sent has the right style but the english is a bit :-\. Cheers mate. Left, near top of screen there is a "overseas customer" translate button. Quote
dat2kman Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 You okay with paying approx $300 Aud for the inspection lids? Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted January 15, 2014 Administrators Posted January 15, 2014 You okay with paying approx $300 Aud for the inspection lids? Yeah I'd also consider taking a set of stock ones to a metal fabricator and asking them to install the desired vents. Gotta be a cheaper option? Quote
C.A.R. Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 As I have posted in another thread on this topic before, Historic & Vintage Restorations in Melbourne have the machine that puts the flutes in panels. It's not an expensive process: http://www.historicvintagerestorations.com/contact-us.html Quote
peter t Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 My mate also does them as I have posted before. dfecustoms@gmail.com Quote
red76z Posted January 15, 2014 Author Posted January 15, 2014 Thanks guys I have sent a email the businesses mentioned. Thanks for the link. Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted January 16, 2014 Administrators Posted January 16, 2014 Another option. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-Z-1970-78-Louvered-Inspection-Doors-Lids-6-Louvers-/321238986322 Quote
red76z Posted January 17, 2014 Author Posted January 17, 2014 Gav I sent a picture of the eBay lids to the croud that louver these lids but I want them to put them on a angle instead of being straight. They should follow the line from the rear hinge. Should look cool. They will get back to me next week with a price. If it is realistic I will let you guys know. Quote
red76z Posted January 22, 2014 Author Posted January 22, 2014 Hi guys I just purchased the set that gav has posted in his link. The fabricator was going to be $275 + postage for the pair of lids to be louvered with 5 not 6 louvers. thanks every one for your help. Regards Scott. Quote
