280z frame rails

Does anyone sell the front engine frame rails individually

[Namerow]

I know of two vendors that offer the LHS and RHS rails separately...

ZeddFindings (https://www.datsunzparts.com/services/frame-rails/)

KlassicFab JDM (https://kfvintagejdm.com/shop/datsun/front-chassis-rail-left-side/)

Neither offer rails that are specifically identified as '280Z'.  Perhaps others will offer opinions as to whether or not the 240Z rail can be successfully adapted to a 280Z.  IIRC, the main design difference is a reduction in width over the front-most 6" of the 280Z rail, required for clearance for the wider 280Z radiator.

I have heard bad things about canadian vendors. There are a couple up there and unreliable.

Charlie Osborne at ZeddFindings has been in business for many, many years.  I don't think I've ever heard anyone accuse him of being 'unreliable'.  That certainly wasn't my experience.  Until the recent arrival of KlassicFab on the Datsun scene, he was the market's leading supplier for Z frame rail and floor replacements.
