    Please take a look at the pics in my gallery 240 Z flares I need to cut the bottom 6" of the flares as they will interfere with 16x8 wheels. What do I use to cut the fiberglass cleanly? Also, do I need to seal the cut edge after sanding it down, before paint? Any help is appreciated as always. uberhahn

    I found your wheels: 15" x 8" They are $1600 for the set new from usacomp.com the only US distributor.

    given enough time, you can make anything fit. I don't think it's a direct bolt in. I've heard very good things about Miata seats. Would be kinda cool if you can get the ones with the speakers in the headrest.

    I'm in the process of doing this. However, the lap retractor from the 280 does not fit into the pocket of the 240. The shoulder retractor from the 280 may be installed somehow either on the rear strut tower, or the original mounting location abover the quarter window. You'll have to keep the 240 lap belt and retractor, unsew the buckle, and sew in the 280 buckle in, so that it all becomes one unit. Do a quick search on zcar.com. There are several posts regarding this issue within the last 60 days. No pics yet. Good luck.

    on zcar.com someone did the following creative sowing. using the original 240 lap section, they combined it with a 280 2+2 shoulder section. basically he sowed in the 280 section such that he can use the shoulder section. Here's the post " I kept the lap belts from the original car in place because I realized that the newer style of belt requires a recession in the floor. Therefore, I concentrated on just the shoulder belt. In my car the original shoulder belt has to be adjusted by hand, which drove me nuts. The shoulder belt is attached to the lap belt via a triangular shaped metal bracket that allows the shoulder belt to be removed. Disconnect the shoulder belt from the lap belt, then remove the bolt that attaches the shoulder belt to the "A" pillar of the car. I acquired a set of 260Z seat belts, which has a retractable shoulder belt assemble that can be bolted onto the "A" pillar without any modification. I next removed the stitching that held the shoulder strap belt on the 260Z belt assembly, keep the shoulder belt assembly and toss the lap belt part. Then remove the stitching that holds the triangular metal bracket from the 240Z belt. Place the removed metal bracket on to the 260Z shoulder belt assembly. Take the new assembly to a upholstery or shoe repair shop and have them re-stitch the 260Z shoulder belt assembly to attach the triangular metal bracket. Then simply bolt the "new" shoulder belt assembly to the "A" pillar and connect to the lap belt using the triangular bracket. You will still have to adjust the lap belt by hand, but now the shoulder belt will allow you to lean forward and adjust the radio"
