love-my-V8-280Z Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 I have looked and looked at many photos, I can't tell. Was there more parts that should have been part of the rear tail light assmebly that I have misplaced? It seems there should have been a black plate that goes behind the Lincense plate. Thanks in advance for any help! Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datsunlover Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 I have a 75 280 and There are two pieces in the middle. One is a black piece of metal (with a square hole in the middle of it) that the plate bolts to, and then the other piece (plastic I think..) that has the licence plate lights in it. hope this helps.

280Zone Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Yes, based on your pictures you are missing a piece. Here is what it looks like. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7900418531&category=34207&sspagename=WDVW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love-my-V8-280Z Posted April 19, 2004 Author Share Posted April 19, 2004 Thanks Guys, That Ebay pic was perfect, I don't think that center piece was ever on my car. I could not figure out why I could not see other peoples car color from around there plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poundz9oh9 Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Hey, if the piece from my 73 parts car will work and is decent I'll send it out with the hood if you want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love-my-V8-280Z Posted April 20, 2004 Author Share Posted April 20, 2004 Thanks! I was just wondering how I was going to get one with out buying the intire rear tail light assembly! I'm in a no go mode over here, I have a LT1 ready to go in except I need to install 3 pulleys to reroute the belt to run the A/C. I have a e-mail buddy who is working on making some pulleys, I sure hope they are cheap for how long I have been waiting.... when do you think the hood will ship?

Poundz9oh9 Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Well, assuming that the bank processed it today. I'll call them tomorrow and check the clearance status. I have no idea how long it takes to clear a check (I don't usually deal with them too much). But as soon as it clears it'll be heading out.!! You seem to be a bit further into your swap that I am. I'm just planning and drooling at all the V8 stuff right now. Hopefully I can get started on a short block sometime this summer. I only wanna do it once ya know, the right way the first time....
