Try Jeff H build thread, he did a lot of modifications to his doors.

Jeff made his own frames, and later deleted most of the thread.

Jack, try a PM to Andy Sharrock. He has put a few together I think, all pretty much standard trim.

Contacted Chris, got some advice. Will give it a go.

Thank you!

Jack

Hi Jeff, any progress on the Datsun 250?

Thanks Geoff, have a go at it tonight.

Good evening Molleur PM sent Geoff .

Any interest in your 250 SWB yet, surprised it hasn't gone by now.

Mine is a keeper!

Jack (USA)

Casamolino, above, has his car on the market.

Cool!

But that isn't the whole story. :icon_wink:

Any words of wisdom for 250 SWB window frame door seals?
Are the Z-3 seals used or aftermarket?

How do we seal the bottom of the window frames, do they interfere with the door push button locks?

Getting ready to cut more on the already bonded door skins (again, thanks to unsolicited "help").

HELP!

'glassed the huge cutout for the fuel fill that I had to make. All good there now!
Perplexed about the door window frames, still.

Finally some progress.

From that to this.

Make sure that the opening catch and the lid don't touch the bodywork when yo open the cap, otherwise, it will damage the paintwork. It doesn't look as if you have enough clearance.

No worries. Plenty of clearance there.
Good point for all to follow.

Getting ready to order the flocked door aperture bulb seal trim from CBS,
How many meters should I get for both doors?

Anyone, anyone?

hi there.

here at c.c. we buy it on the roll and cut off as needed but as a general rule for door trim/boot trim/seals
measure doors and 15 cm extra to be trimmed off when you're happy with the fit ��better too much than too little

happy building

Should have made my question more clear.
Is the complete door aperature trimmed with the bulb seal, or just the upper area where the Z3 door seals are present?

Thanks

Thank you Jeff

Jack

Good luck with the build. I am a month in, very slow I’m afraid but trying to sort out the interior first. Want modern features in a classic form.

My progress has also been quite slow as I am fixing things after "help" by some friends.
Good idea to get the interior finished first. Mush easier than doing it later (as I must do).

Working out what to put where on the dash and centre console is causing me some headaches. I am going to put the electric seat switches behind the handbrake and hide some switches in an ashtray. Double din head unit looks great but. It at all in period so may try and conceal it.
All part of the fun in building a car 😁👍

Be persistent and try to accomplish something everyday.

Weather permitting, of course. Facing new or unknown challenges is part of the feeling of accomplishment!

sorry for delay
 

Hi jack, sorry for delay its chaos here since taking over from Nubodi ref the tribute builds and sales so I am a little behind on forums!

Jeff H is spot on, keep it uniform, looks better and less leaks.

(Sorry about the thread hijack Jack)

Dave

WILCO!

I'm building a Tribute 250 SWB Coupe. Received the flocked bulb seal from CBS today. Slow build as I'm correction some "friends" help! Jeff H was spot-on with his advice too.

No worries Dave!

Hey Mr P...

how's it going

always most welcome here! 😊.
the cars a stunner and just back From paint.. can't show pics here until owner seen it though. just finishing off.
hope all well with you xx

..

ps... coupes at my house... bare car with plastic topper at the mo and a cover on top! .... hoping to use her as a magazine spread for publicity. x

Weather cleared, managed to get my small bonnet mould finished and make a part. A little left to do on it. Fit is now perfect.
just propped up with paint sticks in pic.

Nice work. :cool:

But can you remind me why you needed to make your own?

Good luck, Paul. :)

'Need to make a new small bonnet. Upper skin was sucked in when bonded to the inner skin.'

He beat me to it Paul.

Small update
Cutout for the Grassbank rear window made (nice). Previously bonded parcel shelf removed. New pattern begun.
Side fender vent slots cut out. Getting there.

Last few days grinding/sanding/lots of Acetone & paper towels
removing the bed liner spray my "friends" coated inside the entire body. More needed too.

Preparation prior to bonding the frame channels to accept the very nice Grassbank rear window.

Good to hear you are making progress. Severe lack of photos tho! Would love to see some of how you are doing the window.
