Adding Forward Foot/kick Panels to a 75 280Z

[HusseinHolland]

I've seen pics of interiors that have the trim panels under the pedals & covering the wiring on the right (for example in EuroDat's HEI conversion thread, pic showing his ICM wiring). I'm going to add them to my 75, I just can't find any pics that show the mounting point itself. Are they secured directly to the floor/bulkhead, are there raised mount tabs?  If anyone has pics with the carpet out where the mounts are visible, that would be awesome. There are 3 mount points per side.

IIRC, you should see tabs below the dash for mounting. They might be shown in the body section of the FSM.

This picture from the parts manual may help.

Are you sure the larger panel is for a 280Z? It looks quite different from the parts manual drawing. As a matter of fact, I have my doubts about the smaller panel, too.

Are you sure those aren't the panels for a 280ZX?

Thank you, Steve. Certainly better than nothing, just not clear

Okay, i don't think the parts manual drawing I posted shows those panels. I was thinking of the knee panels that mount to the bottom edge of the dash.

I see - my 75 didn't have any under dash panels, period. I was interpreting the schematic as illustrating complex bracketry for the floor panels - that would have sucked 😄
