Hi,

my father left me a Datsun PL411 1967. While I have confirmed the model number, it seems that in other parts of the world parts actually belong to model 410. I have been collecting parts to start a rebuild. The parts that i need now are mostly the front turn signal covers and the tail lights, plus the hood release cable. I will also need to rebuild the complete electrical system, so a diagram would be great.. Do you know where can I get them? I have been looking for the parts on ebay, an the ones listed there are quite expensive and will consume a lot of my budget.

The ones that i need are identical to the ones of the car shown on the pictures (of course, mine is far from this beauty)




Thanks!

Welcome aboard, J!

I have a 67 as well. It's a neat little car.

Wiring diagram will be tough to find. Most people rewire their early Datsun with a universal-style harness (I used EZ-Wire). Taillights show up on ebay from time to time, and front turn signal covers occasionally show up on some of the overseas auction sites.

It's not a cheap car to restore, but it's fun and simple!

A hand cranked 411 ! Must be a J1300 engine.

What is your location ?

If you were lucky, you got a copy of the glove box driver's handbook. It contains a complete wiring diagram.

My best source for repair instructions and wiring diagrams for early Datsuns is Chilton's "Datsun 1961 to 1972". ISBN 0-8019-7 is the publication number. It is obviously out of print but a good book seller may find one by tracing the IBSN. For411s it has several variants . Their wiring diagrams even give wire gauge albeit in metric not standard wire gauge.

Good luck with this car! I have been lucky enough to have bought my RL411 new and kept it as close to factory delivered condition as possible after 53 years.
