Thank you for the PM's and reply's guys. These seats are now spoken for. It is good to see these going to fellow Datsun enthusiasts. Regards, Ash.

ITEM: Datsun 240z seats (Pair) CONDITION: Need rebuilding REASON FOR SELLING: I have decided to stay with the stock seats in my Datsun 1000 PRICE AND PRICE CONDITIONS: Free. Local Pick up only. EXTRA INFO: LOCATION: Gold Coast CONTACT: Reply Here PICTURES:

Good call on the bending. I plan on getting the plastic covers and repainting the new brackets. In the distant future I will have these re-trimmed and i'll post pics here. Ash.

I received the Brackets today Scoota G. Thank you for going above and beyond for a complete stranger. They bolt straight up and work perfectly. The lower section is a little tight beside the lever because im guessing everything on my old seats is squashed and bulging from a long life of hard use. I'll point this out to the trimmers and it shouldn't be a problem. Now I need to save up for a re-trim. My old brackets are now surplus to my needs, so I am willing to send these off for the postage costs only. Six_Shooter, Scoota G said to me that if you wanted these to offer them up to you. So let me know if you want my old brackets. Below is a pic of the new brackets on my old seats. Ash.

I have already offered my current set of seat brackets to Scoota G, (once I sort out a replacement set). If he decides he does not need them, then you are welcome to them. But I must give him first preference as I have already given my word on this. My set has one plastic dome on the adjusting wheel missing. Either way these will be free to one of you. Ash.

Six Shooter, I will give things a week or so to see what comes of Scoota G sourcing some locally. If all falls through here, then I am keen. I had no idea these were intriguing, As far as I can tell, the set I currently have are the early 240z type. ...And for future reference, I will post up pics of the swap. (If successful, & once i get it sorted out). Thank you Scoota G, you are an absolute legend. (He has been looking through his workshop and mates places trying to help me find what I need).

Thank you Scoota. Ash.

Thanks Scoota G. Text sent, but the number must be wrong. The number I sent to didn't know what was going on. For anyone else wondering about the sizes in the future, here is what I have. 118mm centers on the base & 130mm centers on the back. (starting 143mm above the bolts on the base).

Thank you for your quick reply Six_Shooter. Here is a picture of what I have. Ash.

Hey guys, I have just bought myself a set of 240Z seats from ebay. The seats that I bought have a large winding knob to adjust the angle on the seat back. (I believe these would be early 240z seats?) My question is... Can I swap the Recliner Mechanism from other Z-car models onto these seats? And if so does anybody on here know specifically which ones will fit? Pics of the seats that I bought in the ebay link below. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Datsun-240z-original-seats-/140976606304?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item20d2dc4c60 I would like to know what I should be asking for before placing a wanted to buy advert. Thanks in advance, Ash.

Thank you for being kind to me, (No "Z" and on a Z-Car forum) I am interested in some front seats. How much were you after for a pair? and do you have any photos of them? Regards, Ash.

My name is Ashley, I run Datsun1000.com I thought I would join this forum as I intend on buying a set of z car seats for my Datsun 1000 some time before finishing my build. This seems like the best place for me to find a set. My little brother also runs retrojdm.com We are both lovers of Japanese cars (mostly from the 60's and 70's), which is what has led us to take the time to make what information we can get our hands on available for anyone into old Japanese cars. I hope that by buying a set of Z-Car seats im not upsetting the Z-Car community. (Making one less part for the guys with the original car for the seat). Ash.
