Datsunrides Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Can anyone enlighten me as to if the coupe and sedan front side glass "holders" (the part that holds the glass and connects it to the winder) are interchangeable? 2 cars and 4 holders and they are all rusted to pieces! (looks like a poor design that trapped water) I will probably end up fabricating new ones, but if the sedan ones are the same, I may have some options vs. coupe ones.

Leeroy Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 According to the parts catalogues they are not the same and have different part numbers. I would suggest the holder is longer to match the length of the coupe (or two door sedan) glass. Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsunrides Posted January 6, 2010 Author Share Posted January 6, 2010 I should clarify by sedan, I do mean the 2 door version. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeroy Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Yes the two door and the coupe have matching part numbers for the holders. If you are not able to source the holders in the US (Although I assume you will) I do have a 1976 Coupe parts car. I have not actually checked the holders, however I doubt they will be very rusty, if at all. They are yours if you want (and you pay for shipping ).

Datsunrides Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 Why must it cost so much to ship even light items from down under? I may still hit you up as it will probably cost about the same here if I have to pay for the part and add shipping onto that. Can you check if they are in good shape when you get a chance?

The Beast I Drive Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I have no idea if Gen 1 Brat window tracks will fit, but they are pretty common, and the doors are the same length as the Coupe doors. Also interesting, the Gen 1 Brat units appear to be the same as the Gen 2 Wagon/Sedan front door units..... Might look into it -Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeroy Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 (edited) I have no idea if Gen 1 Brat window tracks will fit, but they are pretty common, and the doors are the same length as the Coupe doors. Also interesting, the Gen 1 Brat units appear to be the same as the Gen 2 Wagon/Sedan front door units..... Might look into it -Bill The Gen 1 Brat is basically a 'Stage 2' in terms of coupes or sedans and therefore has a completely different glass and window winder mechanism. Stage 2 door glass is actually much longer from top to bottom and goes deeper into the door than the stage 1. I think it would take a lot of modification to fit stage 2 door glass and winder mechanisms into a stage 1, although I suppose it would be possible if you could source a stage 2 coupe (For Mark's situation in this thread).
