Yes, it goes on the bottom of the hood where you suspect

Thank you Sid.

Yes, one each side.

ideal to put some appropriate 'dot' on the fender to 'hide' impression of washer.

Happy to help Mike!

has anyone used fasteners instead of bolts to be able to take it off and on easier ? or bolts with wing nuts attached for easier removing later on? I'm thinking I should put something in there practical and maybe cool looking if lucky ..eyehooks might work too ? idk if there's room for anything like this ? anyone ever done or have an idea ?

awahahah to hook the dash back on !! haha oops .. up by windshield

The rubber pad is just laying on the cowl for the picture. What I want to know is, if it goes on the bottom of the hood in the small hole in the upper right corner.

yes

I think there are two fairlady badges. 1 early OEM japanese style, and an aftermarket that fits existing DATSUN holes. Which one do you have?

Here’s the pic I posted in my thread

The holes on my rear panel were welded up so I have to start from scratch. I can’t really tell where the original holes are from the backside

Simon, will you also run the "2000" badge below the script? That can help with location.
On mine and a few others:





Script alone:


Crooked script:

Straight like the gas cap. You KNOW you will add the 2000 eventually
Pitchforks for crooked 2000 script, yes

I wasnt planning on adding the 2000, I like the simplicity of just the badge alone.

The badge alone with no 2000, combined with the fact that I need to drill the holes makes me want to bring it a little lower than where it sits with both the Fairlady & the 2000 badges. The crooked version doesnt look bad either... Hmmm

I'll look for script alone/crooked examples I can remember a few.

Thanks Alvin

on a 1966 1600 was the dash originally Gray or Black? I have tried looking in Wiki but came up short. Thanks for the help.
