Replacement Frame Rails

[texasz]

Anyone got good recommendations for frame rails for a 240Z? I'd like some heavy duty ones that just fit over the existing rails to add strength and rigidity to the car. I know of only one place to get them off hand and that's Bad Dog Parts.

Anyone have experience with their rails?

Anyone have a better suggestion (i.e. superior product, cheaper price, etc)?

zmanofwashington I believe was making some and as well, Charlie at http://datsunzparts.com/NewParts/summary.htm

You can make your own very easy with some 16ga sheet metal and a small brake. I replaced one side of mine and it took about 4 hours to make them and weld them on.

These rails are made of 12 ga.

Thank you for the replies guys!!

gnosez, those links were great!! Very helpful and informative.

Blue, I already knew about Bad Dog and was preparing to order I just wanted to make sure that was the right part and from the links from gnosez it appears as though it is.
