Boaty Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 At Canby this year, there was a guy selling metal Datsun emblems that were reproductions from Kuwait. Are you on here, anonymous seller-dude? I'd like to get a hold of this guy, but I have no idea who he was or where I can find him. If somebody can pass along his information to me, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment

Do a search for his handle (THATSOON510) to find his for sale thread. Quote Link to comment
Boaty Posted July 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Thanks for the info! He had a bunch of metal emblems if I remember correctly - even had some gold plated ones. I figured mine were fine, and low and behold I re-spray bomb my 510 yesterday and I left my trunk emblem on the stepside of the chevy. It's somewhere between here and town, ~6-7 miles away. Lol. Lucky me? I figure if they are affordable enough, I'd just get new emblems and maybe my lost'n'lucky will turn up on the road somwhere. :) Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 The genuine Nissan ones are plastic. Nissan been making them out of plastic for years. Quote Link to comment
Pedro Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 I have got aus spec guard badges and 68-69 rear beaver emblems reproduced from metal (pic below). Should be able to ship internationally if anyone is interested. I got a die cast mould made from a NOS Set of badges. $110 AUD + shipping for guard (fender) badges. $65 AUD + Shipping for rear badges. Sorry this isn't a thread highjack, offering to the original poster, any questions please PM me for more info. Quote Link to comment
Boaty Posted July 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Well, I have early 510 USDM badges, the slim metal variety. Plastic looks alright but they are 3x thicker and look like giant blocks... me no likey. On the other hand, I found my Datsun emblem tonight. On the road, broken in two pieces :( Quote Link to comment

Boaty Posted July 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Ad expired, before I could take a look-see. So I suppose it's down to asking if anybody on here has any metal fender badges they'd be willing to sell? I can't seem to find anything but the huge bulky plastic ones. I only need one good one, but I'd be willing to purchase a good set of two or three for a fair price. Quote Link to comment
