Posted June 11, 200816 yr comment_250415 So i was replacing the struts and bushings on my late 260Z and i had put the control arms back in and called it a night, well today i walk out into the garage and my left control arm is touching the ground, a quick inspection shows my mounting insulator has separated. My question is can i glue or epoxy the insulator back together. (im a student and dont have a job, and the only replacement i can find is $186) I dont think that it would be a problem since the weight of the car keeps the two pieces together anyways. Your ideas are appreciated Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/28386-broken-mounting-insulator/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
June 11, 200816 yr comment_250420 Well, isn't that pooey:angry: Unfortunately, I don't think a back yard fix is possible. That item is originally a vulcanised rubber to metal part. Don't try to use the damaged strut top even if you do manage to glue it with anything:finger: No option in my opinion, but to get a replacement:rolleyes: Oh, you might need to seriously think about doing the other side too. I know you don't want to hear that but... Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/28386-broken-mounting-insulator/#findComment-250420 Share on other sites More sharing options...
June 11, 200816 yr comment_250421 I've got some used 240Z insulators-depending on you date of manufacture, they could fit.They are yours for shipping.Will Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/28386-broken-mounting-insulator/#findComment-250421 Share on other sites More sharing options...
June 11, 200816 yr Author comment_250448 Well when I looked up replacements they have two insulators for the rear struts the first are for 70-7/74 and the other ones are from 8/74-78. My Z has a build date of 12/74 so I don't think that the early ones would fit. What do you guys think?
