Thank you, especially for the picture. It's too bad some of the older pictures from this thread are no longer available. I went ahead and removed the passenger door panel to get a look at the "good" part. No clip that I can see, but it looks like the builder put a set screw on the assembly to hold the part in place. Since I found the window roller (bamper) at the bottom of the driver's door, I can take a day or two to ponder things while I get a new part if they are still available. BTW, I have been watching your build for some time while looking for a car. Now that I have one, I appreciate how you're going about it even more.

Resurrecting this thread to ask for some help. I recently bought a 1975 280Z that was converted with a 250 GTO body and a Chevy 327 V8 in 1992. The driver's door handle backed out of the door about 1/4 inch, but would push back in with no problem ...... until the door latch would no longer work with the outside Honda door pull. Today I opened the door panel and saw the plate that actuated the latch mechanism has slipped over the button from the Honda door pull. How is the door pull locked into the door? This one just seemed to have been pushed in and was relying on friction. There are no clips lying at the bottom of the door and the cylinder end seems to be about flush with the inside of the door making no room for a retaining clip. I hope anyone that has used the Honda door pulls can give me some insight so I don't have to pull the passenger side door apart. The driver's side wasn't pretty and don't ask how long it took for me to figure out how the window crank handle came off - not a standard Datsun part with a clip.

jagster, While surfing today, I came across this that might interest you: Alpha kit FS It appears to be in Florida. No connection with the seller, but I'd love to see that manual.

I thought is was just me being a new member. I just accidentally discovered, though, that the pics seem to be available with the search function. For me, many of the pics here show up just as links in this thread and when I click on them, a board message appears saying I don't have permission to view them. Today I was searching "headlight trim" in the 250 GTO thread (I want to replace mine this winter) and many , it not all, of the previously unviewable pics appeared! Don't ask me why, but it seems if you can't see a photo, search with a key word from the post, and it may appear in the search results.

That seems to be the preferred route. I have yet to see a photo of a N. American 250 GTO with a front plate and I am still looking (just to see how they went about it). I'm hearing lot's of people getting tickets locally though as it's a big revenue generator (bridge tolls, red light cameras, etc). Gary I'll have to ask a Viper owner how much the fine is.

Hello, Long time lurker recently joined the forum. Although I can't see most of the pics posted here, the ones I can see are great and have kept me going a long time. I just bought a car that became available locally and am getting it back on the road. Has anyone found an elegant way to attach a front license plate - the big rectangular North American ones? Local police are fairly good a spotting non-compliance. Gary
