I agree with @Yarb the T3 spacers fit between the hub and the rotor. Thereby spacing the rotor back in to the car. This will move the caliper back to the spot where it will clear the strut housing bracket. Do install the correct pads too.

Steve sells a kit for the mechanism. https://www.240zrubberparts.com/product-page/240z-lock-mechanism-set

I just run the +8 on solid rotors and have had no issues. I guess I must not drive hard enough to have brake fade, I still have fun though. As Zed said, brakes are not one of those items you want to have hacked together.

There are two different S12+8 calipers one vented and one not.The S12W is a vented only caliper. The Toyota rotors are 6 lug. You would need 300ZX rotors. Here is a snip from a Hybrids post.

Of note are the vent holes above the strut towers. These look like speaker holes but are for the C pillar vents. The bump out for the expansion tank is larger than the early 70-71 cars that had the plastic tank. Also I believe the 77-78 were different as well. (Raised Floors) Your 260 should be the same as late 240 (72-73) to early 280 (75-76) and the 260 of course. 1974 Bump outs for the taillight access too. Early cars were flat panels.

95 degrees out there right now. Here is one overall pic, I can send more detail via PM. A little surface rust but overall in good shape. I don't see any cracks.

I'll double check what I have available after work. Supposed to get super hot here today (100+), so bear with me. I live in the NW because I like it colder. lol so much for that.

Thanks Yarb, I might have another used balancer, nothing in a single groove though.

Not so silly, They are a sheet metal screw for some reason, about 2cm long I can't determine a thread pitch, but course is the appropriate term. They thread right into the bracket.

You should like the way they are stored Mart. They fit better in the bin.

My signature line does say 15 parts cars + Piles of parts

So it looks like I have about ten 8 blade and only four 7 blade fans. Seems to me I have an 8 blade in my 70 with a stock radiator and a metal shroud. Works well. I will PM the pictures and discuss a possible transaction there.

I'll look through my bin, and send some pictures. It wont be until after work today though. Do you need the clutch? or just the blades?

I don't see to many "drive" posts on the forum, it seems to be more technical. I thought I might add a post from a recent ZCCW drive. We rent out Maryhill Loops Rd. and drive up and down all day with no worries of cars coming the other way or the like. A fun weekend for sure. https://www.maryhillmuseum.org/outside/historic-maryhill-loops-road Skate boarder's fly down and cars fly up. Interesting story about the origin it in the post above. Here are a few pic's and one video from the weekend. Out there having a blast in my 6/70 driver. We normally only have one car at time, but I talked the officers into letting me follow the other early (71) S30 up the road for a video shot. Reuel and I going up.mov

Those relay kits usually have another in line fuse (blade type) between the battery and the relays.

I have DI's headlight and rear light harnesses. Both work great. H4's in the front and the rear kit really brightens up the sides and tails. I had heard he stopped making them and now MSA carries similar harness kits.

I just have to hold out on mine til you big time sellers run out of stock, so I can get a sale or two lol🤣

I have a bunch of seven blade fans if you end up needing to source one.

The ad is gone now.

The seller does say to email him through CL but to include your phone number for him to call or text you. For any questions, comments or concerns.

That would figure, scammers are all over. I was not looking to buy, but how does the scam work on CL? Normally I would go there and pay cash on delivery. If it is not right I walk away. Do they ask for a deposit, and then disappear? FB scams seem easy to spot, "pay me and I'll send the part" NOT!!

71 240Z near Bend OR. on CL https://bend.craigslist.org/cto/d/bend-1971-datsun-240z-manual/7754666674.html

2.83" long outside to outside .05" diameter

I still have the one circled in green, The other one was sold further back in this thread. It is dirty but still feels strong, I have a 240Z so I use different springs.

CO I think the OP might be referring to the hi-lo switch clicker, maybe?? Lost the little nubbin part?
