Hi Michael,

Congratulations on geting a Roadster! I live in California so I don't know about good Datsun shops in your area but I have heard it has some of the best driving roads in the country. As for parts Ebay and DatsunParts.com have everything you will ever need. If you are looking for just some cheep used parts I would post in the classifieds/wanted section of 311s.org there are also a lot more people on that forum.

Rallye Roadster in washington is good too. http://www.datsunroadster.com/

Just remember! As a 1967.5 you will have the metric fasteners, not the familar SAE fasterers!

Welcome to the world of Datsun Roadsters! Check out 311s.org as it seems to be a more frequented forum. They have a vendor links page with a long list of parts sellers/suppliers/etc.

If you have the stock SU carbs, you can find rebuild kits on ebay, or from vendors like Datsunparts.com and datsun-roadster-parts.com. There is also a company that does complete re-furbishing of the carbs, you can find them on that vendor page on 311s.

You can also find gauges and gauge sets on ebay. There is a seller McBoulevard that usually has a large stock of parts. He is 311s.org member MCB. Some people also send their gauges out to a member, I believe his name is Jon Frampton (but could be very wrong on that name) who meticulously restores the stock gauges. I am in the process of re-doing my interior and have chosen to go with all new gauges from Speedhut.com You can customize gauges on their site as you can on autometer.com

Congrats and good luck!
