| Sill plate for rear hatch. Coupe only. They can be made to fit the 2+2's, call for details. Be advised that we sell two different versions of this piece. Each style has it's own part number, and it's own individual price as well. When you open the rear hatch and look down at the plate that sits above the tail lights, there is a panel that is welded to the body and has the hatch striker sticking up through the middle of it. This panel is called the hatch slam panel, or hatch threshold or sill plate. The hatch sill plate is a common rot area so we consider this a very important piece to have in stock for our z customers and for our own use as well. Parts Comparison to original factory piece These panels are almost an exact copy of the original panel, but they are not an absolute perfect copy. I've taken the time to set this reproduction piece alongside an original factory unit and they are almost exact. Unless someone sets them side by side and studies them very closely you'd never know that they weren't an original part, so keep that in mind for you concourse people, these units will pass the test. I cannot tell the difference in these panels vs. the original unless they are set side by side. These units will fit all coupes from 70-78 but they must be spot welded or glued in place with a special body panel glue. We do have lots of pics on file of these units installed. They are designed after the 240 piece, but they will still fit in the 280 coupes. We have these panels hand made in Europe specifically for us by a 3rd generation tin smith. This version is not available anywhere else so don't be fooled by what some other companies say. There are two versions of this panel available through us. We also sell the same version that they sell at a much lower price than the version on this listing but it is a stamped steel version, NOT a hand built version. The hand built version is considerably better but unless you're picky, the hand built version isn't neccessary, especially for the extra price. We have lots of other sheet metal repair pieces in stock and can order lots of other pieces. Most of this isn't listed on our store yet, so if you want something just give us an e-mail or call us direct and we'll be more than happy to answer your questions. We also have many pieces available for the 2+2 models and also both models of the 280zx and the Z31's as well. If we happen to be out of stock of the hand built version, please allow an extra 4 to 6 weeks for delivery. The manufacturer has to make them and then ship them across the pond to us.
