Front Spoiler/Air Dam - looking to buy

Post by Nded »

Looking to buy a front spoiler/air dam for SPL311-00054. I've seen BRE Air Dams on 311s.org, but can't find them for sale. What is available?

Nded, I'm looking also. A year or so ago (could have been longer), JT was selling them and I believe he sold out everything he had/made. At-the-time, he thought he might have a line on one not being used, but I never heard anything more. If you get a source, (or, JT is listening :)), maybe we can get enough enthusiasm to re-energize a small batch run?

Here's a recent thread on the topic. Red Bumper Special (Rob) just added one from Moss motors. Doesn't look like it's cut down, but see for yourself...

Found a good supplier for this:

Les Cannaday
les@classicdatsun.com
760-940-6365

Budget about $300 currently, but subject to change. Allow 3~4 weeks for production of a new for you spoiler.

Les has a lot of knowledge and other parts too.

Datsun Restoration Products tells me they no longer make these.

Not sure what Moss is selling now, but I have one of their MGB air dams from 6-8 years ago, and it is 3 inches too wide, needs to have center section cut out and re-spliced in order to fit the corners. (this would be the "Eddie Wu" style air dam)
That one of Rob's does not look to have been cut, but might just be a really nicely completed splice job.

Yes, that is one I ordered from Moss Motorsports. https://mossmotors.com/475-195-cp-front-air-dam

It has not been cut or modified yet, just test fit.

It is a bit too wide and too low, will be taking it to my painter/body guy for cutting and fitment.
