blairis Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 Any goon owners have any info on the plastic tailgate hinge cover. My wagon is missing this piece and they are very hard to find. I want to get one made out of aluminum. I'm any kind of dimensions etc I can use as a guide and I can't even find a trashed original cover I can use as a template. Quote Link to comment

Unfortunately I live in Australia. Doesn't look like anyone has any info regarding dimensions that I can use so I will find as many pics as I can, give them to my mate who is an awesome fabricator and see how we go.

carterb Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 (edited) Craig (Tokyo-2u) probably has some. He's closer to you than all us US mainlanders.. You can contact him through facebook or ebay https://www.ebay.com.au/sch/m.html?_odkw=&_sop=10&_ssn=tokyo-2u&item=161319330872&_osacat=0&ssPageName=ADME%3AB%3AEOIBUAA%3AUS%3A1120&_from=R40&_trksid=p2046732.m570.l1313.TR12.TRC2.A0.H0.Xdatsun.TRS0&_nkw=datsun&_sacat=0 Edited August 2, 2019 by carterb Quote Link to comment

I managed to score one from the Datsun Fairy yesterday along with a set of NOS taillights for my Wagon. I will take some measurements this weekend and send them your way. I’m going to try to make some fiberglass copies once I repair the cracks and chips along the edge. Luis. 1 Quote Link to comment
