Just received a pair of interior quarter panels from Z Car Source for my '71 240. Problem is that they're about 3/16" too tall as measured against the originals. Not wanting to go through the hoops and expense of returning them - I'm in Canada - I'm going to try to make them work, and am wondering if anyone else has had this issue? I could cut a strip off the top (the bottom has the rivet holes), but they seem quite light and fragile. How much cutting or bending with a heat gun can a guy get away with? Any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated. Richard

bought some jute from Mac's used the old beat up jute as a pattern. the little rubber heel guard was shot so I just cut up a junk yard mat for now. I have found that hook of hook and loop grabs the carpet very well so I will end up getting some replacement rubber that is a better fit. The OE carpet had it sewn on. The rubber backing on the carpet is about 20% gone, the plan is to try some plasti dip spray to add back the missing rubber backing.

Hi everyone: I thought my speedometer was broken so I removed it from the dash in anticipation of having it sent out for repair. I spun the drive shaft on the back of the gauge and it worked perfectly. So I thought maybe the speedometer cable was broken and I tested by spinning it and it and saw the other end spin just fine. I then realized that the square shaped head that goes into the slot on the back of the gauge was actually not long enough slot into the back of the gauge. I tried pulling on it with needle nose pliers but I can't get the cable to extend out any further. It's a steel cable so I don't think it shrunk any. I can't think of any other any other w…

I am working with Z Car Source to get me a new carpet set. I have the side skirts and the rear deck but I need all other components so they can replicate them. Does anyone have an original used set in decent condition that i can purchase so they can use it as a template? I have a '75 Fairlady Z 2+2 and i will have the sides reversed of course. I am keeping the diamond vinyl on the tunnel so basically i only need the front floor mats, under the seat section and rear floor.

my attempt at refurbished horn button. It had several raised bumps like inverted pits in the black area, and the chromed lettering and border were in not so good shape.

The paint on my stock front left and right speaker panel is pretty worn. Is it worth painting it in black matte spray and installing them again?

Fellas just wondering why so many choose to use sound dampening/Insulation and plush/heavy carpet in their Z's? I have recently aquired my 1st Z, a 1978 280 and I'm trying to lighten up my interior but to my surprise there are no lightweight carpet alternatives. I have owned many early Porsche 911's and most Porsche owners look for ways to lighten up there cars by removing all sound dampening material and replacing heavy plush carpeting with light weight alternatives or deleting the carpet all together. I understand the noise would increase in the cab but to be honest I would think most would love it! Hell I've even removed my a/c, factory radio/all speakers from my…

I stopped by motorsport auto today and picked up a replacement strut for the hatch on my 1970 240Z. When I opened it at home I realized it was different from the original strut in how it attaches to the car. At first I thought they gave me the wrong one, but now I think this is their suggested replacement. The original used a simple bolt and nut where it attaches to the body and a pressed pin to attach a “wishbone” to a bracket on the decklid. The new one uses a ball and socket connection on both sides. I assume it will work fine, but I am a little concerned about the extra torque it will put on the brackets - especially the one attached to the door opening, which alr…

does anyone have any pictures of the rear seats folded in a 260z / 280z? I want to know how much storage space is available when you fold the rear seats. Thanks!
