Nice dash. I want to get one for my 610/180B. I am thinking about making a mold of the panel,where the gauges are affixed. Got tomake one in reverse,so that the clocks/gauges could be installed on the left side and the small ones ( trio) on the right side. Perhaps with a computer I couldmake a reverse ( negative) mold! :idea:

Not at all. Early (73) 180Bs had the squared gauges on black background. 74 and later came in blue background, always squared gauges.

Nissan/Datsun would had made a lot more money and would had earned a reputation for great sports car accesory lines had they sold all these items all over the world. Round clusters, US/JDM tail light assemblies, twin S/U set ups, all kinds of accesories that would had allowed customers in any country in the world give their 180Bs ( and any other Datsun) that special touch.

:cheers

I've never seen a SSS dash for a 610 (or a 510 for that matter) to suit a LHD car. I'm guessing Nissan didn't see a big market for the SSS in countries that drove on the wrong side of the road ? Perhaps the SSS (with twin carbs) wouldn't meet the USA's anti-smog laws ?
