Radio Bracket for 260Z

[MariaAZ]

The Pioneer radio that came in my 260Z is basically held in place by the console. I'm sure there's supposed to be a bracket in there, as I saw mention of someone looking for one for THEIR 260Z.

I'm hoping to talk hubby into going salvage yard hopping today. Any idea of what years of Zs would have a bracket that fits a 1/74 production date 260?

i do beleive that 74-78 will fit in to the 260,

If I remember right, the 260-280 console had what amounted to a cradle that bolted to the front end of the console that held the radio...

I've still got a console from my 75 in the shop, I'll look and see if the mount is still on the console tomorrow and post a pic if it's there.

Seems I put my foot in my mouth again, as the console isn't in the shop... I guess when I sold the 280 I just started throwing all the 280 stuff in the back of his truck to get it out of my way and the console must have been in the pile....:stupid:

Guess one thing I should do this spring is an inventory of what I have out there.....

We went salvage yard hopping this weekend, and there is indeed a metal bracket that bolts to the sides of the console itself to support the radio. By the looks of it, the 280Z bracket will fit the 260; unless the bolt holes are just SLIGHTLY different, the bracket should fit fine without any modifications. Of course, the RADIO may not fit the bracket though.
