    I have a nice pair from a Series I car with the nuts included. Looks like $100 is a fair price (plus shipping). If you're interested, I can send you pictures. My email is nw.zfan@gmail.com.

    Looks like it may have a casting number, but can't make it out. See pictures.

    I have two new rotors in my collection of parts that I don't know what they fit. There is a part number 16-00508 511-240 on the boxes. They are about 10 5/8" in diameter. The "top" is 5 7/8" in diameter and 1.5" high. My part number searches have turned up nothing. Seems like I tried them on my 240 years ago, but they weren't correct. Assuming I picked them up in a parts lot from someone. You guys have any ideas on how to determine what they go to? Thanks in advance PS. I hope this is the right place to bring this up. Haven't visited this site for a long time. Ken
  4. Dave, The re-skin is looking good. It warms my heart to know the roof has a new rust free home on your 260 project. I know it bothers some when I part out a car, but nearly every part lives on with another Z. If we didn't have spare organs, how would we keep our cars alive? You're doing a beautiful job. I'm glad I could help. Ken P.S to "kenz240z" I have a '71 Series II with a license plate that reads "KENZ240". Too funny. My wife also bought me a t-shirt for Christmas with "Still Plays With Cars" on it. Cracked me up when I saw your signature.

    Thanks for all of the replies and entertaining banter. ) I believe I have purchased a clock that doesn't work and am attempting to secure a refund. You guys are a wealth of information and I appreciate your help.

    I left it connected for a bit and the hands did not move. Do you agree that 12V (ground to black and positive to blue) should make the clock run if it is not dead?

    Thanks. I will try that. I also should note that it says "Quartz" on the face. Does that make a difference?

    I figured putting 12V battery (+ & -) to the blue and black leads should power the clock, but it doesn't move or make any noise. The guy I bought it from says it worked and says I need to connect it to the harness to work correctly. I plan on putting it in my 240, so I will be altering the wire harness anyway. I am just trying to determine if I have a working clock first. Any help is appreciated. Ken

    Yes, I have met Doug and know where his shop is. He has seen this car, so I'll stop by to get his opinion on options. Doug has quite a reputation in this area.

    Thanks Mike. Had I not seen that she was not going to stop, I would have continued through the intersection and probably got hit in the door. As you all know, there is not much protection there. I just spent the past couple of hours pulling the front pieces off. Getting the air cleaner off was a real chore due to the fact that the strut tower was about an inch away. The radiator (3 or 4 row) can be fixed and the L24 w/E31 head looks untouched. I don't think I am going to go through the hassle and expense of putting a new front end on it. If anyone is interested in the shell, I'm open to offers. Otherwise, I will be parting it out. I'll put the motor, 280 5 speed and all running gear into another 240 shell. The spirit of my Lil' Red Rocket will live on. BTW. The car is rust free. That's what really pisses me off.
