Has anyone got thoughts on these, item 7961632663? I see they're over $300 with 2 hours to go. I was thinking that maybe a japanese product might fit better. Seeing that they're ss trimmed I figure they must be older when quality counted for more than it does now. I just bought some of the single screw covers for my 71 240Z and they don't fit properly (bulge out nearly 1/2" at the bottom). I'm very disappointed although the price was decent. I tried fitting them to a set of metal scoops too and the poor fit was the same. Guess I'll post them and hope to recoup some money.

Can anyone tell me if the 240z colour combinations were common to all countries. The reason I ask is that a friend of mine has an early rhd car (#99) which is 907 green, all the area's that would not normally be painted as part of a respray are also green which leads him to believe that this id the original colour but this car has a black interior, the only references I can find report green cars as having tan interiors. The paint code sticker is very worn but could possibly be 901 silver which would explain the black interior, however, the car has just had a bare metal respray and there is no trace of any old silver paint anywhere on the car. He has just had the car pain…

Z Car Home Page list Paint Codes and Interior Colors for 1970 Through 1976 model Zs but no interior colors. I'm I wrong in assuming they were black? The reason I ask is, there is a 260Z for sale on E-Bay that show a fabric interior of Blue and white stripes. I'm hoping Carl Beck will respond, as he is the contact person at Z Car Home Page. :nervous: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=4538628324&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT 1970 and 71 Model Year Cars 901 Light Metallic Gray or Silver Metallic 903 Blue (till 8/71) 904 White (till 7/75) 905 Red (till 8/71) 907 Dark Green (till 8/71) 918 Orange 919 Yellow (till 8/71) 920 Gold…

I have two sets of covers. One set mounts flush with the scoop edge rubber edged aftermarket type). The latter (JDM chrome trim ring) mounts overlapping the scoop perimeter. Is this correct? Did the OEM covers mount this way? Does anyone have pictures of OEM chrome trim ring covers installed?

I have an Aussie 73 240z which I believe is similar to the early US z's when it comes to the fuel tank vent hose. It sorta looks like a walking stick... Does anyone know where to get these and how much they are? I've checked VB and the catalogue doesn't have them in it. MSA's site has no pictures. Help, I'm p*ssing fuel everywhere!!

SEZ i weighted the 2+2. without bumpers, without AC system, all under carpet hard sound deadening was removed, and some engine componets, such as vaccun canister and things like that (see my engine picture). anywho, this was with me in the car, and with my stereo, subwoofer, all seats, and a half a tank of gas. only thing not installed was the center consol weight: 2710 lbs. i weigh 155, so that brings it down to 2555. that is AMAZING for a 2+2. they are NOT over weight at all. when my friend and i took the seats out and my stereo stuff, i got it down to 2610 with me in it. just wanted to put to rest the theroy that a 2+2 is heavy!

I read most of the comments regarding replacement of the rusty floors on my 72 240z on this website and appreciate the good information. I ordered a set of floors from Zedd Findings and will follow the recommendations for replacing the floors and supports on this website including treating them with POR 15 on both sides. I also want to prime them with 2 part epoxy primer. After the floors are in, Where can I get the replacement insulation? Are you using heavy felt tar paper and making them or using the aftermarket soundproofing material? I would also like to know if the support rails are painted the body color. Mine are black but they could have been painted the blue…

Hello all, A question to all the Z enthusiast out there... I have a 72 240z, and all that's needed is a paint job.... My dilemma is that all the paint shops in my area are collision shops only and won't do full body paint. Which leaves me only the local Macco, and the local full tilt restoration shops. The price for painting the car is either $1000.00 for Macco, or $6000.00 for the a really good job from the restoration shop. All the major body work has been done..ie new sheet metal on the fenders to take care of rust behind the front wheel wells on both sides of the car. There is no major rust that I know of or can see (the cars always been garaged, and maintained since…

With all the discussion about Headlight Covers, a Factory Option for the Early Z's, I thought we could "pool" regarding what we think this auction will end up selling for: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4534911997&fromMakeTrack=true Since it's already at $350US, let's take a poll as to what it finishes at.
