Administrators gav240z Posted August 11, 2015 Administrators Posted August 11, 2015 Hi Everyone, Has anyone got 1 of these? I need a lid, as 1 of mine is cracked but the rest of the surround is in good shape. If you have 1 in any condition please let me know? Quote
dat240z Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 I've got a solid surround, but the lid is the same nick as yours. I ended up finding an almost brand new one in Canada for $110 almost 4 years ago. Try USA eBay / Canada eBay?? Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted August 24, 2015 Author Administrators Posted August 24, 2015 I bought an entire console with ashtray and lid recently from the US still waiting for it to arrive. Hard to tell from the photos if the lid is any good. So will wait and see what I've got, the surround is cracked though. It came with a bonus hand throttle / choke knob bracket, which I'll be selling separate as surplus to my needs. Quote
dat240z Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 They're certainly difficult to source in good nick. I wonder if it's too large a piece for a 3d printer to produce?? Quote

I'd say perfect for 3D printing, but I've been thinking about contacting some people about reproducing certain early S30z parts. http://www.240zrubberparts.com/ has reproduced quite a lot of stuff but I've been waiting 3 months for my Hitachi surrounds .

I can mention it, I think the delay is with the chrome plater for the inlays on the face etc. I'm not in a rush, just hope he doesn't forget about me. Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted August 31, 2015 Author Administrators Posted August 31, 2015 Well my console arrived. Unfortunately the lid has been cracked before, although the break is quite clean. I may be able to repair seamlessly, the surround has a chip out of it also. Bit of a shame, but the console was good and it's plastic trim pieces etc.. So not all bad. Quote
