Wheels & Brakes

Anyone? I've seen "green" referenced as the OEM color on the 510s calipers wondered if that was consistent across all models at the time... :sleepy:

I have a set of these I got with a 260Z parts car, they are Westerns, 14x5.5, unsure of the offset. Was wondering what kind of interest there is for these? I know if someone wants them, they probably reside on this forum.

Ok, I've replaced the wheel cylinders, put good working calipers up front, replaced the master cylinder, put on steel braided brake hoses, bled the car (240Z) three times now. Seems to be a good flow of fluid with no air bubbles, etc., etc., etc. The brake pedal still feels soft. I know the brakes are working because when you hold the pedal down I can't turn the discs or drums. I know it's been a while since I've driven a Z but I don't remember the pedal being that soft. What I'm I missing?

I have a set of 14" American Racing Libre wheels I'm thinking of selling. Three are Very nice and one has a few blems on the bead I think from a tread separation and the tire went down. Anyhow, what do you guys think these would be worth realistically? No pics as of now.

I'm asking because I have a set of American Racing Libres (yes, they're the real item) with the spinner caps in what I'd consider excellent but not perfect condition for used wheels (no road rash, corrosion, pitting, etc). I mounted new Goodrich tires ($400). I used MM spacers and bolted on my 17x7 Racing Hart C2's and the 71 Z looks awesome. Anyhow, I haven't decided if I really want to part with these wheels but could use the money for other upgrades.

Hi everyone! I finally got a pair of REAR wheel cylinders, but just noticed afterwards that it was sized 13/16 inch against the correct and LARGER 7/8 inch! now, i'm not an engineer or anything but i do know that using SMALLER Rear wheel cylinders will weaken the rear brakes and thus affect the front/rear brake bias. being that my only choice is to order from abroad (more time and money) i'd like to ask your feedback on how this would affect the CONTROL and POWER of my brakes/car during everyday driving (of course occasionally i'd like to stretch my cars legs a bit, even on the twisties! ) thanks a lot! patz p.s. can you recommend a website for more…

Hi all, I have a set of 70's slotmags and stamped on them are these numbers 6.50 x 14 x 0.355 OUT. I am assuming 6.50 is the width of the rim in inches, 14 is the diameter of the rim in inches and I do not know what 0.355 out means?? Anyone know? If a set of 225/60/14 tyres can fit on a rim which is 6 inches wide then whats the maximum tyre width I can go for?? Also bearing in mind that I have the normal 240Z fenders with no extensions. Thanks..

Can anyone tell me what these are made of (steel, alloy, etc)? These are original 240Z mag wheels if this helps any.

When I got my Z, they were supposed to come with 4 extra "stock" rims, aside from the ones that are on the car now. Anyways, the guy kind of flaked out on me and I was left with only the 2 that were in the car at purchase. I was kind of bummed to only have 2 now, because I wanted them on the car if they were originals. I do like the look of them and will hope to come by 2 others. So, are they the original 280Z stock rims? The positive is that all the tires on the rims are in really good condition, so I won't have to buy new ones anytime soon. Thanks! This one was the spare in the well. Rim in question All three

Hey guys, I took these off 797 and want to sell them but have no idea what they are called. If anyone knows please let me know so I can write a description in the classifieds. Many Thanks, Randy

How much are these wheels worth and are they desirable? They have the 1970's era tires which are in excellent condition and almost new thread (uniroyal tiger paws)

Hey guys, I'm going to sell my spare set of wheels and tires. I'm wondering what price I should be asking for these. I'm selling the wheels, tires and nuts (including 4 locking nuts plus the key). They are in good shape except for one that has some discoloration shown in pic#2. Two of the tires probably should be replaced soon and the other two don't match (manufacturer) but are in good shape - I'd guess 80% tread left?. I think they are 225/50-15. Anyway here are links to my pics and thanks a lot for any help!! http://www.utdallas.edu/~perdue/wheels1.jpg http://www.utdallas.edu/~perdue/wheels2.jpg http://www.utdallas.edu/~perdue/wheels3.jpg http://www.utdallas.edu…
