Differences between 240 and 260 bumper.

[beezee]

Just looking at a msa catalog states early 260 cars were manufactured up to August 74 and the late 260,s with the 280 type bumpers were built from September to November. I have just removed an early thin 260 front bumper ,brackets including the 260 shock absorbing mounts from a 77 280Z , it was a direct bolt on , the shock,s were collapsed to bring the bumper into the body.

The 280 that had the 260 bumpers was for sale in the canadian classifieds http://www.classiczcars.com/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=2469&cat=23

My apologies for giving you the how-to. I didn't realize you were a shop owner or employee. You probably already knew how...

No apologies needed. I have many customers for everything from the Upgrade harness's to basic maintenance to Automotive Audio/media, fiberglass, body work, paint, custom parts (Cowl induction hoods, aluminum grills, speaker pods and enclosures) etc, etc.

I do what ever it takes to pay the bills. right now I'm trying to finish up a set of 280Z Euro LED taillights, fill an order of 10 Headlight upgrade harness's, 5 ZXP's and 10 SCP (sidemarker conversion plugs) on top of some other small orders. Next week I have to do a full back seat fiberglass enclosure for 4) 12" subs with 3) 800 watt amps, 6 monitors, 4 Farad Capacitor, Air ride pump and 4 gallon air tank, 1/0 gauge power wire, and maybe a PlayStation in the rear. I don't take days off.

Thanks for all the answers, just a little confused but I think I got it now. Being as how I'll also be building MY 260Z to a raod worthy machine, I figure I should start paying attension to the 260 info available.

Thanks again,

Dave.

For what it's worth, my "Precious" is a 8/74 260Z and she's about as stock as possible.
