610StaWag Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Hi fellow Ratsuns, I have gotten tired of finding so many panel fittings that ALMOST fit (e.g. Ford and Chyrsler). Does anyone know where I can find panel fittings that really do fit the door panels and holes on the body/doors of a 1973 Datsun 610? We have an early 1973 (9/72) WPL610. I have been to all the auto parts stores in my area with no luck. 73-610 panel clips by Donald Broz, on Flickr Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Every time I'm in a wrecking yard and find a Nissan I have a mental check list of things like those, that I grab for pocket fillers. A few spares are always good, you don't need fifty of each. Depends on what vehicle you currently have... Glass fuses Door card clips The wire C clips that hold the window wind ups. Brake and turn signal bulbs Dash bulbs H4 headlamp bulbs. Interior lamp bulbs and their lenses Door switches. Plastic relays from '80s vehicles. Fasteners... screws, small bolts, washers of all sizes The clips that the hood support clips into 'Rubber' fill plug for the steering box Fusible links Hood rubber bump stops Rotor (if good quality and shape) 4 Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Whenever I get a donor vehicle in here (for engine swap, etc) I rob it for all of it's nuts, bolts, screws and other fasteners, grommets, wiring clips, hose clips, brake line tees and elbows, etc. After I'm done with it, of course. 2 Quote Link to comment

I did not mind paying an entry fee until the yards quit deducting it form you bill and started taxing it. Quote Link to comment
610StaWag Posted September 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Thanks guys. I looks like the "620" white fittings are the same size/design as my black 610 fittings. I need to count how many I need. Many were missing. I really got a hoot out of what Datzen mike wrote. Our 610 is my wife's car. My car is a 1978 Fiat 124 convertible (license plate CXXIV, CentoVentiQuattro, an old Italian car should have a plate in Roman Numerals), after I bought it in 1983 I was constantly going through wrecking yards getting old style enameled emblems, gauges, trim pieces, and any other parts that looked neat! I never found a Datsun 610 in a wrecking yard. Does anyone have any idea of how many Datsun 610 station wagons still exist in registered/good running condition? 2 Quote Link to comment
