    Looking for 240z hood latch

    in Parts Wanted

    Posted

    When you pull the hood release in your car, this would be the shark fin looking piece that is on the hood directly (on the underside, close to the windshield) and would then be released allowing the hood to come up. This shark fin looking piece is spring loaded. The spring is missing or not working in mine and need to be replaced. So I might as well replace the whole piece.

    I don't know which Z you have but on my 1971 240z (and the other models) its called the "Molding with Seal" in the Black Dragon Automotive Catalog for Z cars. It will come with the Chrome molding with the Fuzzy/rubber stuff stapled on it already. It's complete, you just snap it on. Page 17 in Catalog, Illustration number is 8. Or www.blackdragonauto.com

     

    I ordered mine last month and it came in a week later.

    Body work vs New body Kit

    I've decided to stick with the panels I have now. The only thing I replaced was the hood. I bought that from Black Dragon auto parts today. I tried to buy used but the price for used was a couple dollars less than new. So I went new. So I'm going for it. 2 of the panels are finished. The wheel wells had rust removed, cut out and repaired. There was some unexpected fabrication that had to be done. Window from hatch has been removed to clean up rust there. Now it's a real restore. I will try to swing by the shop and take some more pictures.

    Buying a new kit and trying to make it work can be more expensive accoding to the shop. I am going for a full restore since I came this far. I was looking for a way to save but. According to the response I've gotten so far I might be making out pretty good.

    The car has a bunch of small dings, and 2 very small tares. The doors need to be lined up. No rust, body is straight. There are no major/big dents anywhere. It is a ding festival, small ones about the size of a penny all over it. Shop extimates 60 hours of body work plus materials.

    I am trying to make a decision on whether to get body work/repair or just buy a body kit for my 1971 240z. It is a lot of work that is needed. At this time I don't want to pay $4500 in body repair. This does not include paint. I am going to buy a new hood because the existing one is damaged. But at $4500 I can possible buy a kit and have it installed before paint. Either way I still don't want to pay $4500 period. As you can see it is to the metal now.

    Any ideas would be very helpful. My apologies if the pictures are too big.

     

    I'm in San Francsico bay area (Antioch)

     

    What I mean by kit is, new fenders, panels, and possible door skins.
