RTB Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 I have a 2 door and I need a patch for that area right behind the door to the wheel arch. After research I learned that the Alfa reproductions are not very good so anyone have any other options? I need to include part of the flare in the patch. I heard the Aussies might be doing it but I havent seen anything from them yet. Quote Link to comment

RTB Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 This on both sides, this side is worse than the other side. Quote Link to comment
yellowdatsun Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 What I will say, is that bending up a sheet of steel to make a rocker patch panel is easy, if you can find a sheet metal brake to use. Quote Link to comment
RTB Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Isn't there an internal structure for strength so you can use that area as a jack point? Quote Link to comment
RTB Posted May 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 Can anyone make this patch for me? Please? I'll pay Quote Link to comment
yellowdatsun Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 It's always best to jack a 510 from either the front or rear crossmember, and not the body. It's too easy to damage the body. Being in Kansas is the hard part, you might have to find a non-Datsun person to lend a hand. Quote Link to comment
RTB Posted May 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 In contact with the guy in Australia that makes patches for Datsuns, he might be the answer to what I am looking for. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Yes the Aussies are the best for these parts Quote Link to comment
