Collectindust240Z Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Does anyone know where I can get a decent set of fiberglass front fenders for my '71? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Battle Pope Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 general consensus is that 99% of the fiberglass fenders that you can buy, will fit like total crap. I think classic datsun sells them. http://www.classicdatsun.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnosez Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 I believe Smoothline and John Coffey's company also sell them. I just sold a set of them that had come off a 260 and had been purchased from Bob Sharp Motors back in the late 70s. They had a bit of a flare and had a molded in semi-mud flap. I test fit them on a spare car we have and they were better than the current metal replacement fenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Nope, I don't make or sell them because: 1. Fit issues - its really hard to find a good, correct OEM fender to make a mold from, plus once you unbolt a fender, it changes shape a bit so it would be hard to make the mold dimensionally correct. 2. Most racing classes don't allow fiberglass fenders. 3. Weight savings - 240Z fenders are pretty light. You won't gain much for the money spent.
