January 4, 200421 yr comment_62711 Not quite sure but I think you have to use the later rear mounting bar and front rubber mount. One thing I've found around here is that if you are wrong you soon get corrected.

January 5, 200421 yr comment_62775 Well the differential is located on the front rubber mount and the rear mounting bar which bolts to the back of the diff. Forgot to mention the tailshaft which would be a different length. How about you compare the parts mentioned above to those from a later model, or have a look at a later model? There is/was a Z car club in Holland, too. BTW Damain, your English is better than my Dutch.

January 5, 200421 yr Author comment_62794 thanks Richard,I shell look under an 1972 z to see the difference.This is still a problem just a few people know.The reason I want to change it is because Iwant to reduce the vibration problem from the differential axles.Thanks a lot for thinking with me.Damian.
