anyone know where I can get a sill for a SWB Z, the bodyshop cant get any. got thhe dreaded MOT in Jan.

LOL!!!

You'll be lucky, you can't even get them for the 2+2!!

 

Do you need one due to rusting?? as the SWB must be an import, that's worrying as these don't usually rust much.

 

Best bet is probably get a good body shop to make one up from sheet metal, good luck!!

thats not good news as i need a sill as ive had a fight with a post and lost and now the sill needs replacing

does anyone know where to get one they must sell them and i hate going to nissan to ask as they were only put on this planet to rip us of.

To my knowledge, no one does aftermarket sills for our zeds yet, Nissan will only be able to sell you the whole panel the sill is part of I would think, so could be half the side of the car, you could of course buy this and cut down to size as needed, but as for the cost, I really dread to think!!

 

I would have a word with a good body shop, some of the better ones will be able to shape sheet steel to suit, it's just finding a good one. Someone who restores classic cars may be a good bet, as they often have to hand fabricate panels!!

i gave up after months of trying to get hold of sills,

 

ended up having to fabricate them from steel at work

 

as far as i know nobody does them :( :(

the sill is now going to be repaired at the body shop ive got the worse out so now some filler and paint it should be good as new.
