Jim,
If you're not already, get on the Bluebirds list:
<http://dimequarterly.tierranet.com/maillist.html>
And that may be the price you have to pay. There was a recent discussion on
what rubber 510 parts are NLA/hardest to get/most expensive/etc, and wagon
rear hatch seals were on that list. Here's the beginning of the thread from
the archives:
<http://datsun510.com/bbmail/2006%2D2/3802.html>
This may be an opportunity for roadster vendors who are having rubber parts
remanufactured to branch out a bit. Just a thought. Here's another....
Merry Christmas.

Subject: Was Patrol Parts, now its Datsun Parts...ooops let me be quick to
add:
I am by no means saying CDM, Dean, or Stan was asking that $200 price for
the wagon hatch weather seals.....I was looking in other places and that is
the price I saw!!!
Who knows, perhaps that is the price I will end up paying! Thanks, Jim
