1963 datsun WP312 australia

[coronaowner]

G'day people,

 

Im a newbie here though not new to datsuns.

I have been restoring the bluebird for some (to many years) now and am very close to it being finnished.

 

question time, has anyone replaced the quarter window rubbers, or know of what can be used in place of the originals.

will work out how to get some phhoto's up of the beast soon.

 

Cheers, Andrew.

Welcome Andrew. 

 

I doubt anybody on this forum could even tell you what a WP312 bluebird even looks like, let alone ever even touched one. 

 

As far as the window rubbers, I'm gonna guess no one makes a replacement unless it's on some corner of Ebay I can't seem to find. 

 

I'll make some calls to some companies at work and see if anyone can locate a set. I've got a few friends at Nissan that have been able to find me some tricky stuff.

 

Either way, we would love to see some pictures of the beast! 

 

 

Good luck! 

 

 

 

EDIT: Didn't take long to find pictures. Very nice!

Looks like there is one other on on Ratsun, so you may try PM'ing him to see if he's ever had to track them down.
