Hi All,
Sorry not been on here for ages, but I thought you guys would be able to help. I just picked up a spare wheel cover for the 280zx from a mate. It's in poor condition and the zip has disintegrated, but I am going to have a go at refurbishing it.
What I am after is a reference photo of the decal as shown in the image below. This is the only image of a spare wheel cover in a 280zx I have been able to find anywhere online. You can see the decal is sticking out from under the targa cover. I am going to draw up the decal and print it on some silver self adhesive material you can run through a printer.
Here is a before and after of the newly acquired cover....
And after a bit of a clean with vinyl cleaner...
280zx Spare Wheel Cover
I have one that might still have the sticker on it, if you don't hear from me send me a PM to remind me. I don't think the US cars came with full size spares and only early Japanese ones did as well before they went to a inflatable spare. All the original covers I've seen have been pretty much in the same condition as yours.

Thanks for that. Even if the sticker is rough a picture of it would be a great help. Having looked at the spare wheel cover, I think it is saveable. Going to need to hand stitch in a new zip by reusing the exiting stitch holes in the vinyl.djz wrote: ↑Sun Jul 26, 2020 9:26 pm I have one that might still have the sticker on it, if you don't hear from me send me a PM to remind me.
