silverz Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Hi all, I had a new windscreen and seal fitted to my 240Z today. It was one of the things that had to be done to get my baby registered in QLD as the NT rego runs out soon (no more 24OUNCE plates!) Brian from About Town Windscreens here in Townsville did a great job and I thoroughly recommend them. The people there really liked the Z and were keen to know all about it which was also cool. I was missing some of the stainless windscreen strips that sit in the windscreen seal so I told Brian to leave them out. Once the new windscreen was fitted Brian said it really needs the stainless strips to spread the seal out and stop it contracting and creating leaks. This has me concerned and I am now bringing the stainless windscreen strips up the order of priority on my fix list. Does anyone know where I can source these strips, I already have the drivers side strip, the top strip and the drivers side corner piece. I am missing the passengers side strip, the passengers side corner piece and the bottom centre piece that locks the two sides together. Once I source these items then the challenge will be to get them to Townsville undamaged. I have enquired about getting these items from the US before but was told they are too long to post internationally. I look forward to any advice anyone may have on where to source these items. Thanks Regards Peter Quote
RB30X Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 I've also only got a couple of pieces of the front and the rear from mine. I'll be interested to see if you can find some. Quote
Mr240z Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Missing heaps aswell...Let us know how you go. Quote
RBZ 260 Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 i should have few spares but not sure what i have need to check. Quote
C.A.R. Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 You can buy replacement chromed plastic beading to do the same job - it's looks quite similar to the old chrome strips. Most good windscreen shops have it in stock Quote
aussie240z Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 I bought front and back sets from Warren at AllZed Hornsby a few months back to refit all glass after my roll cage went in. He offered both new and some cleaned up second hand items. He packed them up very well so they survived the carrier no problem. Give him a call to see what he ahs available. Cheers Quote

silverz Posted August 6, 2009 Author Posted August 6, 2009 Hi, Does anyone know if 260Z 2+2 windscreen trim will fit a 240Z? Regards Peter Quote
Brabham Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 I am after the corner pieces off the front and rear. Called Warren and he will not have any more for a couple of months. Anyone have these for a 76 2+2? Thanks. Quote
