A to Z Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 In a day or two I will tackle fixing the driver's side door on my 1972 240Z. The latch needs to be replaced, as the spring is broken and hence the door won't close. From what I have gathered there are 3 rods attached to it. Can any of you give me any tips on geting it out?

Miles Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I recommend to all Z car owners to buy this book available at Amazon: How to Restore Your Datsun Z Car by Wick Humble It details how to disassemble, restore and re-assemble 240z cars. It contains step by step instructions. It has saved me hours and hours of research. Remove the black door lock plunger knob Remove the arm rest, door handle chrome cover under door handle and then the door panel. Remove three bolts holding the door mechanism to the door Remove the activating rod pivot screw Remove two bolts holding the door release handle and unhook the activating rod from the door handle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
