Gerardo is right on. The 67.5 units are closer in shape to the early ones with
a satin silver finish. They are a different shape and size though. It never
ceases to amaze me at the apparently stupid number of changes that
Nissan/Datsun made to these cars. For the entire production run of Roadsters,
there were no fewer than 8 different rear bumpers. Damned near everything was
changed repeatedly. The only things that I can think of that did not get
changed (and I could be WAY off here) are the bumper uprights. Heck, even the
"rare" 67.5 headrests came in two versions - the more common that had a single
screw retaining the rear pan and a more obscure version that had two screws
holding the pan on. I can actually understand that change though. The 2 screw
version would be a PITA for production as the screws went down from the top of
the pan - meaning you had to use either a stubby or an L shaped screwdriver....

Mike the washer jets are not the same, They are actually different from
all
other roadster's. They were very specific for 67.5 roadster's, you
could
say a special run was mdae for the 1600 and 2000 for the mid year model.
Guess thats what makes a 67.5 so hard to restore sometimes, very linited
parts for the half year cars.
