If anyone on here that has a Datsun 160J coupe could do me a quick favor it would be most appreciated.
Can someone please measure the length of the door rubber that connects to the frame of the car. I can't get to my car very easily as its locked away in storage while i work on my sedan,
Any help most appreciated,
Thanks
Brett

Hi Brett

Ah year shit good point you just reminded me they are pillar less.
I was going to order some rubbers for my 140J sedan i have found universal rubbers on a roll that fit perfectly. And figured that i might get enough to do my 160Js as well.
But now that i think about it they are a totally different setup so prob won't work i really need to have a good look first.
Thanks for saving me a hole lot of money was going to just guess at 4m/side and order the lot today.

yer they have a moulded end to them i was thinking about trying to find somthing with a similar profile and cutting mine and using good old superglue to join them together as it's only the top of mine that have gone looks like Keas have had a go

I'll look into the joining on 160J
Th 140J stuff is easy. I should have some offcuts left over of the universal rubbers to give me an idea if it will work out.
Now i just have to order the dam expensive things. But hey brand new rubbers got to be worth it.
