Here is a link to a write-up by Peter Vanderpas about his experience using
brand new reproduction MGB Molding as an inexpensive alternative.

I was looking for any oportunity to
keep costs down, and decided to try using reproduction
MGB stainless steel side moulding instead of the
original Datsun parts. This is a daily driver, and
not a show car, so at $50 for a complete set of
moulding (including all of the fasteners) I felt it
was worth trying to make it work. The moulding
required a cut for the front piece and door piece.
The cut was done at the front of the door and rear of
the front piece, and came out pretty clean.
The moulding came from Moss Motors, part number
453-478, if anyone is interested:

If anyone is looking for a less expensive alternative
to the original roadster moulding, I think these parts
from Moss are worth looking at.
