INSPECTION COVERS, ALUMINUM | DATSUN | 240Z | 260Z | 280Z
Color
Louvers
Skillard produces a louvered or UN-LOUVERED replacement for your S30 inspection covers.
They are manufactured entirely from aluminum, including a new aluminum hinge. Unlike other reproductions, ours have the OEM lip, even on the front radius.
They will replace your funky rusted inspection covers. The hinge is attached to a backplate to help prevent distortion on the top side, in the event that someone opens your inspection covers too far.
SOLD AS A PAIR. Spring clips are not included, but the inspection covers come with new mounting hardware.
Available louvered, in raw aluminum or black powder coat.
Available un-louvered, in raw aluminum or black powder coat.
NOTE: these inspection covers do not fit Series 1 240Z fenders without modifying the spring clip mounting.
* These are made to be a bolt-in replacement, however every car is slightly different and may require some tweaking or shimming to flush up with your other body panels.
**Many of our products are in-stock. However, because all of our products are custom fabricated, they may not be immediately available. Products that are not currently stocked may take 3-4 weeks from when your order is placed to when they're available for shipping. If you want to know the availability of this item, please email Sales@Skillard.com.
You many also call these parts: inspection lids.

They look and fit great, especially impressive given the compound curve of the outboard edges. The shims provided got me close but what finally worked best is using unequal numbers of additional flat washers to slightly "tilt" the covers' front edges laterally inboard.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Mark! And great tip with the flat washers for folks with variances in their unibody, fenders and hood fitment.
Love these, they went on easy and helped lower the temps of my engine bay - they also look amazing.
I needed something to help taper off the heat buildup under the hood during the extremely hot summer months in Texas and I figured I'd give these a try before making the jump to dual electric fans. Well, I am so glad I did. These inspection covers fit perfectly (with a little adjustment during installation) and, on top of that, happen to match the color of my car very well. Build quality on these are just like everything else Skillard makes...top notch without compromise. I am sure I will swap my unvented hood to a vented style down the road, and I know I will be swapping out the factory vents with Skillard version to match these. Overall, 10/10.
