TrevDaddy Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Headlight retainers: http://www.new-datsun-parts.com/datsun-pl620-truck-parts.html That place is ridiculously expensive. 84 fricken dollars for the headlight rings? I'd rather spend 4 and make my own, or find another grille locally. Quote Link to comment
kugelbake Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 I agree. But try finding some in a junk yard. It's tough. The Datsun ones are unique. You could probably take a couple off a Ford or Chevy, carefully pry off the tabs, and re-weld them in the right places. But what a pain in the butt. If you find a different supply, please share it with us! Quote Link to comment
alleycat Posted January 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 yeah, that place has really high prices. thanks for all the replies, but my bad, i actually meant the rims around the grill headlight openings. i don't know what they're called. Quote Link to comment
Braden Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 for you guys that have painted your grills, would you do it again? you know chipping, etc.. also, where can i find 2 headlight bezels (rims) ? thanks why would it chip? prep the surface correctly and use a paint with some give to it and it should never chip, correct me if i am wron but arent they factory painted? i know there is some sort of grey coating on them Quote Link to comment
