Just had the front end of my 1200 ute fixed up from a bit of a front ender and slowly piecing it back together, but Im missing some various widgets.

I need another 3 of these plastic thingies to put the headlights together.



Also the bit that holds the bonnet stander-upper bit steady when its down(have I got the terminalogy down pat yet ;) ).

Where do you get these bits from people ???

it's called a head lamp adjusting screw nut.
you should be able to still buy new ones from the dealer, or at a "REAL" auto parts house. if worse comes to worse, you can use the plastic nuts that are used to attach license plates on some cars.
the other piece sounds like you need a Prop Rod grommet, this too should be available from a dealer.

"Real" Auto parts store...like repco ??? or Autobarn ???

Does a normal Nissan dealer still stock datto 1200 parts ??

yeah a nissan still supllys datto stuff i forgort to tell you that

i cause i was looking for a new tailshaft and they wanted $1400 for a new one!!!!

The plastic widgets in the pics are the same on the 120Y.

I bought 3 of the bonnet stay things from South Africa last time I ordered stuff. But I'm sure if you wander about at the wreckers, you'll find a suitable replacement from something else.

I have managed to buy from the Nissan dealers in Brisbane most of the small parts for my resto if you ask for a 85 ute they will track down the bits you want and if it is trim items the only difference between the ute and early models is the colour, As a rule Repco and the like only supply mechanical parts that are non genuine.
If you want the genuine part numbers let me know as I have a set of microfische.
