Fenders

Mudguards (guards) are called fenders by Nissan. The stock steel fenders are thin and light. A nice compromise. All 1200 fenders fit coupe, sedan, van/wagon and pickup/ute to March 1978. Fenders for USA differ by having larger side light holes.

Overview

Aside from the size of the side lamp hole, all fenders interchange.

North America fenders have larger holes for larger side lamps, to meet FMVSS 108 Lighting Standard of 1970

Care

Foremost, take care when working on the engine. Leaning into the fender will cause a dent.

The fenders tend to rust in two spots: Front lower corner and bottom rear. So wash these spots of dirt, grass and other matter occasionally.

If rolling the fender lip, you might consider sealing the crease:

Removal and Installation

Bolts: There are ten (10) bolts per fender: 2 at front (behind grille), 4 along top edge (visible with hood open), and 2 at the back edge (visible with door open). Also two bolting the apron to the fender. Total of 20 per car, 10 per side.

Fibreglas

The Datsun Competition fibreglass fenders were reportedly heavier than the stock steel fenders. Advantage is that they can be more easily repaired after each race.

There have been some thin aftermarkets, too thin for street usage really, but light.
