Car looks great Linton. You can also use a can of silicone spray to help get the covers on. Plastic wrap works but can move around and cause lumps under the covers. Also moisture can get trapped inside.
This is the one you want.

Look at the beaming smile on his face. It's like the world has been lifted from his shoulders.
I want to post the happy face for you but at the same time the sad face for missing out on buying that bargain.
Nissan still lists these as available. Last time I checked they were around $25 each.
I have the part number/s written down somewhere but can't find them at the moment. If you have one of them in packaging, you should be able to get the other side by giving that number to any nissan spare parts division
I made some up using some 40x3 stainless flat bar and bent to the same shape as the originals. Went to clark rubber and cut some rubber strips around 45mm wide and glued them on the inside of the straps.
Polished the flat bar to mirror finish and they came up a treat. Not sure about the 'cheap as chips' part as the stainless costs more that $10 just to buy but I guess it's cheaper for a place that just has sheet off cuts 'laying' around.
A 4 inch gauge will fit nicely inside the original cup the speedo and tach comes mounted in. The bigger you go in size, the more forward you need to bring the gauge in the dash hole to make it fit.
A 2 5/8 gauge fits nicely in the cluster ones.
If you want a good job, ie: no short cuts taken and someone who cares about what they are doing then I can pm you the details of someone who might be interested in doing the work in the northern suburbs.
Have you had any quotes yet? I don't know what sort of budget you have but this type of work does not come cheap!
These were off a 2 seater 260z so they have the larger diameter strut tubes. The brake pads still have some decent meat left on them.
What you see in the pics is what you get, nothing more, nothing less.
Looking for $190 for the pair
Pickup from Bundoora, Vic
Here's mine. Basicly just a rectangle piece of 6mm plate welded to the front rail to lift the cooler level with the height of the top panel. Then a hole drilled in it to match the mounting lugs on the cooler.

I'd take the plenum (if it is included in the price) if you wanted to split this up?
Awesome and coronas do not belong in the same sentence in my opinion. The only time they are awesome is when they are the liquid variety and come imported from Mexico.
Sorry to hijack the thread but which lenses did you break? I have a pair of tailights I could sell you or I have a pair of just the orange (indicator) lenses if interested.
