280z sway bar on a 73 240z?

[Sonic]

will a 280z sway bar fit in my 73 240z? it has two brackets, on the body, next to the front diff mount and holes in the rear arms. what does the 280z swaybar look like? i would imagine it to have a "bend" in it on the front side so it would clear the diff mount. i bought a rear sway bar the the guy claims to be a 280z bar but it looks like this shape ] and it won't fit!

please help.

thanks

Does it look like this?

[Sonic]

yup. exactly.

i guess i need a 260z bar.

anyone have a 260z rear anti sway bar? i will buy it!

[Mr Camouflage]

I had a look under my 260z and the bar looks the same as the 280z in the photo.

Why wont it fit?

The bar runs just in front of the diff mount.

I have a '73 also and wanted to install a sway bar. What you need is a swaybar from a early '74 260 . My 240 shows a build date of 8/73 and must have been one of the last '73 built . The early bar you need is shown on page 83 at the bottom of the latest Victoria British catalog. It has bends that allow it to clear the diff. .:classic:
