Stainless steel splash guards

[Riceburner]

Hey guys I'm looking for some pics and measurements of these. I recall seeing a members car at the Nissan concours a few years ago with these fitted, I think it was a stockish mustard 240?

 

Anyway I'd love some pics and possibly measurement so I could make up some of my own.

 

Cheers, Gareth.

+1 think it's very rare they are still fitted to a 240z, would love to see them.

Was it Dale's Safari Gold 240Z, perhaps G-man?

[Riceburner]

Could have been mate, it was a few years ago so im a bit hazy on the details. IIRC it was held at southbank.

[Scoota G]

Yes Dales has them! It's on the front cover of the latest NDSOC mag.

[Riceburner]

Ok must've been his then. Can someone upload the pics, I'm not currently a member.

 

Thanks Mark. I'll send him a PM.

[Scoota G]

Sorry my mistake it was the red 240 of dalee. He is feeling a bit ill but i may be able to assist.

[Riceburner]

I was just after a couple of pics so I can work out what sort of shape they should be. Maybe some LXW measurements.

 

I sent him a PM asking for pretty much the same thing.

 

Cheers, Gareth

Maybe Dimitri has one, he has one of everything else at least.

[Riceburner]

Lol, maybe! I'll give him a try too

I'm having trouble picturing what you are after... my brain is turning into $%^ (& over these past few months..

[Riceburner]

They're basically mud flaps, only smaller and made from stainless steel.

 

I want to try to protect the new paint a little when it's all finished.

Pictures required

[Riceburner]

I actually have only seen them on Dalees car at that concours many years ago, so I don't have any pics or anything to size them from. I've done heaps of searching and can't find any info/pics on them.

[Riceburner]

Yeah I guess they're kinda similar to those, obviously the shape is different.

 

I sent Dalee a PM so hopefully he can post up some pics of the genuine ones when he gets a chance.

I don't know that there ever were any genuine ones???. These SS guards were generally after-market items available from dealers and speed shops and people fitted them to all sorts of cars back in the '70's, looked a bit nicer than black rubber. They came in different sizes and profiles. No doubt Nissan Datsun dealers fitted them too.

I don't see any external splash guards though, I was under the impression we were talking about a form of wheel arch liner.

I've sent a few PM's to Dalee but no reply. How can I tell if they are going through?
