Datsun 510/1600: NOS vs Aftermarket Indicators

[travm182]

I posted this on ozdat and thought id post it over here too!

 

I havent seen a thread like this on here, so i decided to make one as i have recently i've acquired a set of NOS 1600 indicators from Japan and a set of aftermarket ones from Singapore.

 

NOS: http://www.datsport....hting-list.html $89 ea

Aftermarket: http://cgi.ebay.com/...sQ5fAccessories Around $20/$25 pair

The most obvious difference is the fact that the aftermarket ones have two screws on the lense.

 

Aftermarket:

 

NOS:

 

The rubber around the aftermarket lense doesnt sit as flush or look as smooth at the NOS one, its also made of a worse-quality material.

The rubber on the housing is a lot thicker on the NOS ones also, so it would have a much more flush/solid connection to the front guards.

 

Aftermarket:

 

NOS:

 

The wiring on the NOS ones has a grommet, tubing and connectors on the end, unlike the aftermarket ones.

Let me know if you have any more questions or anything.
