Best source for a "hood ledge and fitting" for 1986 Nissan 720?

[Battlecat]

Also known as a "wheelhouse", sometimes and "Inner Fender". Anyway I had a leaking battery some years ago in my 1986 720 which not only ate away a lot of the battery tray, but the entire support underneath the battery tray is rotting away as well.  Although I can find it listed on all the Nissan sites (part number 6410010W00) and even a Rock Auto site (aftermarket),but there seem to be none available. Are junk yards the only places I'm going to find one? Does this part "bolt on" or is it welded? I know I'm not the only one who has rust issues in this part - what did you guys do?

64100-10W00 is the pass side inner fender assembly. Of which the battery tray is part of.

 

Try 64130-06W00.... this is the battery support bracket. (battery tray) About $45 if Nissan has one. Have them do a company wide search. There may be one sitting in a parts department somewhere.

 

 

It's spot welded into place so.... Probably just as easy to make something up and MIG it on.

Thanks, datzenmike! I certainly need the battery support bracket, but the inner fender assembly has got some serious rust, too. I'll try having the dealer do a company-wide search for that (the entire assembly).

I've had good luck with them finding odd parts.

 

They don't charge your card if they don't have it.

NC... I imagine 720s are rare as rocking horse shit out there.

Yeah, I don't see very many of 'em.

Not too many years ago [yes a subjective term] you could coerce the local Nissan parts counter to inquire into the "Foreign Parts" department of Nissan.  Yes, it requires a parts counter person with more than a sixth grade education to do this!  Yet if you persist you might luck out.  I did this many years ago and got all the parts I needed to rebuild my RL411 starter.  Nissan Yokohama sent me a complete list [which I still have] of all unique RL411 parts they had which were used in the RL411 starter and asked just which parts I needed to  rebuild my factory unique starter.  Now that was the original Nissan support network!  They even apologized that they were out of both original OEM and rebuilt starters!

Thanks guys, I'll give those suggestions a try.
