I ordered the genuine one today reason being it is a complete sill panel that goes all the way from under the door hinge to join at the back so it has the recess and all behind the froint mudguard (where the rust is )any other rust Ill be cutting out and rewelding the unrusted parts from the old sill. Rare spares are pretty $$$
It pays to shop around I was pricing some brake rotors this week. My normal suplier who usually looks after me quoted $350 each!!! I got them for $248 in the dba 4000 series sloted.

expensive? have you priced rare spares panels?

I had a quick look
its a bit expensive if its priced each

thought, i'd look into this a little, since the previous owner has done the old bog treatment to both my sills, the whole length of the car. Lazy.

Anyway, here's the address for Craig Vayne: http://www.workin4u.com/rustpanels/

c.v. sheetmetal make sections for most datsuns and they fit perfectly too. ring him and ask for a price list or check out his website. i think it's www.craigvaynesheetmetal.com.au or something real close to it.

Youre right. The only difference is length, the ute sill is about 75mm shorter.

Just go to a sheet metal shop with a cardboard template of shape(out side) and a bit more than you need,thats all i do at work.A few secs with a tape and press, all foldded up ready to weld in place.0.9mm is thick enough 1.2mm if you can not weld to well with a mig

Under the door !!

ok, i'm stupid, where's the sill panel?

does he make any other models?
I want some sills, lower door cover (its like a thin metal sheet kinda aluminum) and some chrome mouldings for my 240K
