260Z Front Quarter Badges

[Brabham]

Am chasing some of these to restore, need to have all three pins intact. Will buy NOS ones if anyone has any.

What do they sually go for?

[Brabham]

Depends on the condition Jason, if you have any good ones PM me some pics and I will make you an offer. NOS ones are obviously better than used but haven't seen any. I regret not buying them a few years ago when they could get them in. Now NLA.

Very hard to find I'm afraid. I'll ask around.

I hope you've got deep pockets Alex:

Ouch not that deep. There is a guy in the states that restores them so that looks like a better option. Trouble is the pins always break if they haven't been removed properly.

I asked my friend in SFO to look out for a few, he said he's seen a few but never bothers to buy them. I asked him to look out for ones in good shape next time. The pins issue seems to be a common problems for all S30Z badges I'm afraid. So might need to get creative in terms of repair work.

 

You could get the '280Z' ones that look the same but obviously have the 8 instead of a 6. Depends how much that would bother you I guess.

 

The real problem is that the 260z was a transitional model for North America so spares for them are thin on the ground. Unlike 240z or 280z's where spares are a plenty...

I've actually found someone that may be able to machine items such as badges, I was planning on sending them a Datsun badge soon to get an indication on price and then ask here if anyone was interested in a group buy but have been busy at work..

I think the limitations of the mill were 0.3mm radius and 0.6mm line width and can be done with brass, alloy, acrylic nylon etc etc..

Sorry

Only have these,

[aircobra]

have a set, just posting now

[Brabham]

_{Was specifically after "260Z" ones, does the bonnet badge still have its pins on it Jason? PM me a price if it does. PM sent to aircobra, waiting on pics.}

Google them I got mine from various places brand new. Some even come from the middle east. Might not be there anymore. Check out my build thread for details.

Thanks Gav, looks like I missed out though. Still chasing a pair if anyone has some.
