I don't know if this helps but I took a sample of the viynal to an Auto upholsterer and we searched through bundles of viynal till we had a good match. I have a 77 2+2. Match wasn't 100% but would take someone that knows to see the difference. I then removed the covers from the seats, cut out new pa...

Hi I've got a 1977 fairlady 2+2 recently restored.

Don't want to be a killjoy but according to Soljans Websight they are at 366 not 336, don't how much of a difference it makes, but does for us out east, we get lost in that side of town. Place looks cool.

Scuff Plates

I have a 1977 Fairlady 2+2 and the scuff plates are steel with plastic covering (black) one of mine had all the plastic pealing, so I cleaned it all of and recovered it with a black plastic texture tape that the signwriters use. Almost the same as original. Does this help.
