Hello,

I am trying to find a scuttle panel or wiper cowl to suit a 81 Datsun 1200 ute.

mine is rusty, and the plenum chamber below is rusty.

the plenum can be repaired, the actual scuttle/cowl is more difficult.

anybody got any leads on where I may find this panel. Am happy to come and remove it / cut it out.

Does anybody repro blanks with/without the vent holes?

due to the compound curves I would have great difficulty making one up.

if it comes to the worst I may even try to make a fibreglass one up and skiaflex it in place.. trouble is the thickness of the fibreglass would make this a difficult proposition too.

Cheers

We removed one from a sedan in good nick by drilling out the spot welds and cutting below the lead wiping at the bottom of the A pillars. Can upload a pic if its still about. We have been clearing out the factory so it may have gone in a wreck with other scrap. Providing we are talking about the same section.

Andy,

That is the exact panel I am after. If you have one that would be excellent and I would be very keen to buy it from you. thanks for your reply.

Cheers

Cool I'm at the shed today so will have a look for it just hope its not squashed under piles of other scrap.

Again, thanks Andy.

Much appreciated.

Cheers

Ed
