adam Posted September 24, 2016 Posted September 24, 2016 Good morning all, I am in need of a two seater 240/260z, left/passenger side upper door chrome molding. I went for a drive yesterday and since coming home, it's managed to go missing. I believe it's on the side of the road somewhere through Reefton. Any assistance in sourcing one would be greatly appreciated! I am located in Melbourne. Thanks, Adam Quote
adam Posted October 3, 2016 Author Posted October 3, 2016 Please see piece circled for clarification on part required. Why do I feel like this is going to be a pain to replace... Quote
gilltech Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 Perhaps a 2+2 moulding can be trimmed down to suit a 2-seater? Would be easier to find one of those as there are a number of 2+2s being parted out at present from what I see online. Quote

Unless you don't mind it looking a bit rough at the end. Quote
gilltech Posted October 5, 2016 Posted October 5, 2016 (edited) Yes I realize it needs a very fine cut indeed. Not a DIY home job with the usual hacksaw, but a visit to a suitable engineering shop. There is also a plastic insert to the end, which I often note to be missing on these trims, which helps tidy the end somewhat. Edited October 5, 2016 by gilltech Quote
dat2kman Posted October 5, 2016 Posted October 5, 2016 I have both a long, and a short one. Main issue,,,, are they left/right, and which! If i remember, when I get back on Friday, I'll check,,,, Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted October 5, 2016 Administrators Posted October 5, 2016 I have a rough driver side 1 I think (it's a bit bent / dented) but postage would cost more than it's worth I'd say from Sydney -> Melbourne. Would need to double-check also. I have a habit of forgetting parts I have and don't have. Nearly bought more bumpers the other day, then realised I'd already sourced a spare set and forgotten about it. Quote
adam Posted October 7, 2016 Author Posted October 7, 2016 Thanks fellas, let me know how you go. The two I found on eBay in the US, sellers don't want to post internationally.. Cheers Quote
dat2kman Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Sorry! Both the ones I have are for Right Hand door! Quote
Retro Z Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Adam i think i have a pair. Ill double check. If i recall the chrome is very good but the rubber squeegy part is perished. Quote
gilltech Posted October 8, 2016 Posted October 8, 2016 Dat2kman / Jason, I'll take the RH short one off your hands, mine is distorted & doesn't clip down properly & stay clipped so best I replace it. Am local so can pop over to The Gap sometime to suit. Quote

Retro Z Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 I already supplied Adam with one a few weeks ago. Quote
Cozza Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 Adam i think i have a pair. Ill double check. If i recall the chrome is very good but the rubber squeegy part is perished. Is the rubber squeegy bit available and easy to replace? Mine are in poor condition as are my door rubbers. Mick Quote
