Baz sells the bottom and top for $100 for both from memory.

Well $52 for the upper one and $48 for the lower it says on the website.
The ones we supply are not the same as the original.
We have been supplying this type for years.
They have additional springs & a more secure latch mechanism.
The original 1600 catches were notorious for releasing the bonnet.
Many a datto owner has had the bonnet fly open with expensive results.

Compare the catch in the pic to the one you have.

Note that we are also supplying the new body panels, once we check them out.
We did have a couple of the rear lamp panels & decided not to handle them.
For some reason i thought your latches were from a 720 ute?

Bonnets and guards now for sale on Ebay.
Will be interesting to see fitment quality.
Who's going to be the guinea pig?...

I have purchased rear guards from All Muscle Parts for Datsun 1600's. The main body line is to wide and the lines to the beaver panel need reworking. if you have a pretty stuffed rear guard they are a good thing to use as a basic shape. The sills need a little bit of work as well, but are good.

presently fitting a left rear quarter. It is a pain in the arse. Have had to cut and shut it to get anywhere near a nice fit.

OK. So I purchased another 1600 rear quarter panel in the hope it would be better than the last one. ( I hoped the last one was just a one of problem). Sorry to say, it is just as bad. The box it came in is made better.
