Current revision

The bonnet (hood) of the Datsun 1200 is a classic design: an elegant flat sheet with a strengthening ridge down the middle. You can use the ridge to aim it down the autobahn. For 1972 japan-market, a new style bonnet was used for all sedans & coupes, including STD, DX, GL and GX.

If there are any actually available, you'll want to verify it has that specific design, as Nisan may consider the original style a valid replacement part. Let us know what Nissan tells you.

  • 1200 pickup/ute (B120) continued to use the older plain bonnet
  • 1972 Van (wagon) continued to use the old bonnet even while adopting the new 1972 grille

The line just below the Cowl Top Grille differs too:

Excellent Bonnet

Sunny Excellent 1400 (PB110) bonnet has a sharper peak and is about 50mm longer (4 inches). It is the same with at front, but a bit wider at the rear (implying the fenders are less thick at the rear).

Wider at rear | Underside looks similar with same bracing style

Hood Latch

The bonnet latch is in two parts and operated by a cable release from inside the cabin. B210/120Y latch differs from B110/1200.
