Default Where to buy Datsun Freeway parts?

Must I buy direct?

I'm after this under-strut cover for a stock-looking backside to the Zenclosures box.

Was it the whole complete steering wheel or just a replacement leather cover?

I expect if I buy it through a middleman, it should be discounted.

Middlemen aren't there to lose money........ They have to make contact, ensure availability of product, shipping to the US, shipping to you.....

I spent several months trying to get that steering wheel....getting a few of our Japanese speaking friends on the website to make contact. And DF said they could really care less about selling to the US.

I have no idea about Andy being able to get them.....you'll have to ask him.

But I thought Motorsports Auto was set-up as DF's distributor here in the US. That's why alot of their products (DF) is on their website.

Anyway.....good luck.

Middlemen also get discounts for buying in bulk.

I was referring to the part itself not Datsun Freeway items specifically. I know I inquired about this same exact part with Andy sometime ago as I would like to have that divider in my hatch as well so that I don't have my overnight bag sliding back into my subwoofers.

I want it just because it looks OEM as can be. Carpet doesn't exactly look OEM on a vertical surface.

Datsun Freeway contated me about the rear strut wall piece.
Thet import it from Germany. The cost was so much. I have not posted.
We would have to sell it for $300-$350. And that is not making much at all.
You might try to find it yourselfs. Like I said they import it from some German Company. Good luck. If anybody is interested in the piece at the price showing, Let me know, And I'll get it for you.
But I dont expect any pm's.
