September 21, 200618 yr comment_183219 Using some 'forensics' the bar you've pictured is for a 12/74 and up 280Z. I'm pretty sure you can use that one but hopfully someone who has actually done the 'fix' will chime in here.

September 21, 200618 yr Author comment_183220 Thanks, Stephen. In addition to the correct moustache bar, what other parts should I get for the "fix"? I understand I need different mounts as well?

September 21, 200618 yr comment_183233 That looks like an R200 moustche bar to me.You should probably get a cureved transvers link bar too.Some homework reading for you:http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15869 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/21652-moustache-bar-for-fix/#findComment-183233 Share on other sites More sharing options...
September 21, 200618 yr Author comment_183240 If it is an R200 moustache bar, will it not work or do I need a specific R180 moustache bar that is post-1971?

September 22, 200618 yr comment_183344 A R200 mustache bar will not fit a R180 because the R200 has wider bolt spacing on the rear cover. The correct R180 mustache bar sit just in front of the 2 vertical risers and the R200 mustache bar sits just behind the vertical risers.You will also need the curved transverse link brace.

September 22, 200618 yr Author comment_183374 Anyone out there have the correct R180 moustache bar and curved transverse link brace for the differential mounting "fix" they want to part with?

September 22, 200618 yr comment_183387 I must have missed something. What is the issue that prompts the "fix"? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/21652-moustache-bar-for-fix/#findComment-183387 Share on other sites More sharing options...
September 22, 200618 yr Author comment_183389 The series 1 Z has the differential mounted slightly forward and it causes stress on the half shafts, as well as potential vibration and noise. I believe that anything after 1971 does not have the problem.
