leifi Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Hello! During replacement of the sills of my 510( have had it for 18years) i found rust 20cm up along rear wheel arch, on left side. Would like to buy a rust free piece for this, if someone have a donor car to cut from! I can send pictures of area, if needed. MUST be rustfree! Appreciate respons, still hoping that the car can be fixed...:-) Regards Leif email:leif@hesbynett.no Link to comment
ggzilla Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 why do you want it from a FWD car? Maybe photo will help. Link to comment
yenpit Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 I think he means "forward". Sounds like the lower formed section, where the wheel arch lip rolls down into the trailing end of the sill/rocker panel. Might be a hard piece to find rust free........... Link to comment
Abe Froman Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 I have this piece, What part do you need ? PM if interested Link to comment
leifi Posted June 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Hello,thanks for your responses! I have updated the title of topic, hoping it descibes better now what I am looking for :-) Yenpit described it: "where the wheel arch lip rolls down into the trailing end of the sill/rocker panel."

DISLEXICDIME Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 where are you located Link to comment
leifi Posted June 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 I am located in Norway, so metal piece must be shipped here. There is few 510 left here, and much rust involved. (I picked up my 240Z in California, to find one with little rust). I have new sills for my 510, made locally.The problem is the arch lip from the end of sill and approx 12-15cm up above top of sill.

karnutz Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 That is called the dogleg. They are still available from nissan at a reasonable price. I think I bought mine for about $150 each. Link to comment
leifi Posted June 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Would be great if I still could by this from Nissan! I have checked that this "dogleg" is no longer available at Nissan in Europe, but might still be available in US. Any suggestions to me, regarding Nissan shop I could contact to ask for this?? If not, still interested in rustfree cutouts from donor car! Link to comment
