I've found that some aftermarket panels fit better than others and the preference is always to buy original datsun panels if you can find them.

But, my understanding was that their is only one aftermarket manufacturer of Datsun 1200 panels and they are a Taiwanese
company. Can anyone confirm this because if it's true then either their dyes are gradually getting out of wack or the quality depends on whoevers pumping them out that day!! Neither of which can be controlled by the people selling them...(although a few complaints might help them tighten up their quality control).

If someone can advise that there are different companies producing parts it would be nice to establish which company produces the best quality panels!
