Steering Column Cover

[Pomorza]

Hey mates

Quick question. Is there any difference between the steering column covers between years (as in will a 240 one fit on a 280)? The lower section of my 76' was left in the Arizona sun (...yea smart on my part) and deformed to the point where its unusable.

Thank you
Jan

yes. 240z has wiper stalk go out at 3oclock (covering key), 280z is at 2oclock not blocking key.  Lots of differences for connector and wire  routing inside the housing too.

That's a good pic of the wheel color we talk about, pretty definitive evidence but mine is darker said the defense.

I know there are least four different column covers. 2 240, 2 for the 280. The 240 ones are interchangable with careful wire tucking inside

The 77-78 is viturally huge compared to the 74=76 version to allow lots of room for larger connectors on the wiring harness inside.

@Pomorza, I tried to adapt a 280 cover to fit a 240 and it looks terrible so I have bought the proper cover. I don't think I had to modify the lower cover at all but I'll check.  You are welcome to the 280 lower cover which I think is in very good condition, you pay the postage and I'll ship it to you.

@grannyknot DMed you

No I didn't modify it in any way, the only real flaw is the broken top for one of the screws.

Mate that looks fine, I can more than likely fix that. If you're serious about sending it let me know

Cheers
