Hello!

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between the 240, the 260 and the 280 front cross member and control arms? I am doing a full restore and I need one (mine is bent) but all I can find are ones out of 280s. I have a 240 and I am sure they can bolt up but the part numbers are different and I would rather have what was on the car.

Any info is more then what I have now!

Thanks!

I recently came across a guy down here (Van Nuys near Los Angeles) that has a bunch of Z's. I'm sure he would have a cross member and I know he has control arms. Let me know if you want me to ask him.

The 280 takes different steering rack bushings. I don't know if the crossmember or the rack are different. It does have additional reinforcements on the steering rack mounts which makes the 280 crossmember stiffer and therefore very marginally better than the 240 crossmember. There isn't any geometry change or anything like that as you would find in the early vs late 510 crossmembers.

Yes That would be cool and if he would ship to Sacramento area.
