I think the datsport replacement seals come with the rubber attached?

1971/05/30 and 1971/05/20 there were many races at the Maze Sea circuit. Small cars, bigger cars, open cars, etc. Nissan of course had a big presence there

Will do Ziggy.

I did find this on Youtube for Z's and 510's. Not quite the same, but they use rivets to replace the original staples in their kit:

Found the ‘Senco Medium Crown Clinch Staplers’ and they look like they would be the correct tool for the job. But, way to pricey for a one time job. I wonder if some of the auto upholsterers would have such a tool.

I’m going to see if I can buy the trim piece with the rubber already attached. Failing that I’ll have a go at attaching some new rubbers to my old trim pieces.

Yes was considering something like that. Or maybe some small rivets.

I couldn’t really bend the original staples with a screwdriver when I tried to remove them, so I assume they were strong enough to pierce through the steel trim piece. Curious to know if these are a special staple and what sort of stapler would be used to shoot them in. I do own an electric staple gun, but I doubt the staples I have would shoot through steel...although maybe it could.

Maze Sea circuit is at Niigata City which I visited in 2006. At the time I didn't know the Datsun 1200 made history there. Didn't even know there was a race track there

Aren't they also stuck on or moulded on so to speak.

Could use a thin bead of sikaflex and some similar staples.

Sit it with the backs of staples on a length of pine and tap the staple ends inwards then wipe excess sikaflex off with prepsol or brake clean.
