Maiden, Welcome.
 
These would be the main three places to check.
 
ebay
About Time Spares
Yahoo Auctions Japan (Will require an import company like import monster)
 
Check out our links page for some other sellers.
 
Are you after anything specific?
If you post up specific items that you are after, people will be more likley to know if they have what you need.

welcome Maiden sounds like an early model 66 with round guard indicators, if you cant get those ones try early fiats they are virtually the same items copied by the japanese

Hey D thanks!
its a 67 model and I was lead to believe it originally had the round indicator as opposed to the "spear" indicator? I could be wrong though? 
Awesome I might have to have a hunt and see what fiat stuff I can find

Perfect, it shows enough of the tail-lights to ID them.
 
There are two types of tail-lights for the sedans. "Early" & "Late".
 
You have the late model tail-lights. (Which is what I was expecting to see as you also have the late model dash-pad & speedo-surround).
 
This will date your Datsun 1000 as Sept 1968 or later.
 
The correct Guard-Idicators to suit the late models are the spear shaped units.
These come in two lengths, 10cm & 13cm depending on year. (10cm. 1968,1969) (13cm. 1970).
The spear indicators are more often listed on ebay as 1600, 510 or 520, 521 units.
 
Datsun Roadster (SPL311) Guard mirrors are similar to the 1000 ones.
 
And Finaly... this is a guess so i would suggest contacting the seller for bolt centre distances.

You can check from the chassis No.

Awesome thanks! But now I am confused....
my chassis no is 060346 shouldn't that be a 67?

G'day Maiden and welcome to the world of the coolest Dattos there is!
It is a perplexing paradox you have mate; 67 chassis number stamped in your engine bay, 68+ rest of car. 
 
There isn't a continuous weld just behind the firewall, is there? The only thing I can think of is it's a cut n shut. It was commonplace back in the day. Nothing to worry about if it is champ. It was probably done 30-40 years ago so it's probably stonger than factory!

Hey guys awesome thanks for your feedback
I'll check when I get home to see if I can find a seam. That does make a lot of sense and an option I hadn't thought of. 
Dundee what can I take photos of to help identify my 1000?
cheers
