My apologies before for making a poorly thought out and ignorant comment. But the French were not the only ones to "sit this one out". I am Canadian, and so did we.

Rear early 260 bumper
can anyone tell me if the rear bumber guard are interchangable left and right. I need new ones. I can spot no obvious difference between the two, but when I look in Victoria British catalog they have a listing for the right hand side only. Oh, another thing I just noticed, they list them for 119.95 US$ . So now my next question, does anyone have a restored, or restorable pair of these they are willing to part with? Thanks all.

A/C Question
Ok, the A/C in my car has been disconnected and discharged for as long as I have owned it, and as long as the previous owner has owned it as well(since 1984). I am doing a restoration on the car and have removed everything to sandblast the body. I dont have any intention of putting the A/C back in and have identified all the wires and components involved. My question: Is the heater blower and the A/C blower shared, or are there two seperate ones. Do I have to find a heater from a non A/C car and install it? This is an early 1974 Canadian model 260Z. I am guessing this has been done before so tehre will be someone out there who can help me. Thanks!

Does anyone have any idea where I can get color codes for the 350z. I am considering mixing the old and the new when I paint my 74 260. i dont have a dealer within 3 hours of me, so I cant get em from them. Thanks.

New to this
Hello all. I am the proud owner of an early 74 260z. I just wanted to let everyone know that I am saving it from certain future in rust heaven. When I bought it the guy told me it had rusty rockers, and the front fenders could sue a little work. Well about a week later I heard a grinding underneath my feet whenever I would take a right hand corner at speed. Well I had a look and it was the floor pan scraping along the highway. GREAT! Whenever I would drive above 50 miles an hour the pan would get sucked down and make this noise. I took it into a body shop to see about getting it patched.. well he just looked at me and flat out said no. He wouldnt even look at it unless I was going to do it right. Well, to make a long story short, my car is down to the body, both exterior and interior have been removed and I am going from the frame(unibody) up. This car has a racing history(hill climbs I beleive) so it is no longer stock. I have already ordered the Energy Suspension master bushing set to replace the shredded rubber ones that were on there. And my girlfriends uncle has 3 45 mm webbers(brand new) sitting in his machine shop that I can get for "close to family" price (to prevent jealousy I wont tell you exactly what price)I am basically looking for any suggestions or helpful hints for when I put it all back together. My main concerns this summer is header, carbs, and suspension, and braking. I am hoping to switch to rear wheel discs. Any help or hints feel free to reply to this thread or private message me with anything you have. I want to thank the owner of this site for the opportunity to share and learn information about the Z car. I have already learnt a lot just by reading other threads. Thanks all, and looking forward to hearing from you
