Emblems

Datsun 1200s came with several badges (emblems). The original 1200 badges were metal, but the new ones -- genuine Nissan items -- are a high-quality plastic that looks very good. Aftermarket reproduction badges vary in quality from poor to very good.

Part Sources

* Nissan USA and Nissan Japan are out of badges * Nissan Australia apparently still has some * eBay has them from time to time * Yahoo Auctions Japan always has some * Too Intense usually has some 1200 badges * Aoba Auto * South Yokohama * Matsuoka

Be careful of the quality:

Album 11377 Album 13484

Malaysia repro vs Nissan item: This reproduction badge has has poor chroming and what appears to be hand-painted coloring that doesn't exactly stay within the lines. However, other reproduction badges may be high quality.
