If they are 5 lug, which I think they are, you have a few choices. You can either take the cheap route and get 4 to 5 lug adaptors, OR.... Swap your stub axles for ZX 5 lug stub axles and in the front they make a 5 lug assembly but I'd check with HybridZ.org for more info on the swap. Plenty of those guys have done it already. Dave.

Removing the Valve cover for Polishing

Eastwood Makes or sells a Crystal Clearcoat that is specifically for hi temp polished aluminum applications. Just make sure that the surface is absolutely Clean of oil, wax and grease. one is called "ZOOP" http://www.eastwoodco.com/jump.jsp?itemID=5158&itemType=PRODUCT&path=1%2C2%2C607%2C1549%2C1560&KickerID=494&KICKER They also have other clearcoats or you can use what I used, Dupli-color Hi-Temp clear. Eastwood also sells the new reflective chrome Powdercoating. here's a picture of it on some familiar items. -
A 19mm rear bar will work wonders when coupled with the front sway bar. You might want to think about apgrading the front to a 23 or 25mm while you're at it. And Please use the Urethenae Bushings when you do the upgrade(s). You won't be sorry. Dave.

My 70' came to me with the Aftermarket kit already installed but it had rubber so I replaced them with Urethane and urethane end links. Just improving on the improvements. My Early 74' (2/74') came with what appears to be a Stock rear sway bar with the usual rubber equipment. Where do I get the front Urethane brackets for my 25mm upgrade for the 260Z?? Anyone? first are the 240Z and the second 2 are the 260Z

I'm also doing the Rear disk brake set-up on my 260Z. And from what I've read. You really need the extra fluid push of the 79' to 81' ZX Master Cylinder. I can't compare mine to yours as of yet because it won't be done till spring. I wil also have the Toyota 4-pistons on front and ZX calipers on the rear. ZX MC in front and the Willwood? adjuster in-line to the rear.

Front diff crossmember, diff mount and counterweight? painted and assembled. I cleaned the all the bolts using a 1 gallon container of "GUNK" Carb parts cleaner, it removes grease and paint beautifully. -

Painted "Ultra Silver" after POR15 coating -
240Z crossmember before blasting and POR15 then it goes into the 260Z -
You'd have to desribe it better than "A 280" Cuae there was 3 or more styles of switches for the 280Z's between late 74 and late 78'. The early models had small 9-pin connectors, similar to the late 240z and all 260Z's. Then they changed to a 10-pin 9-wire connector around 76?ish. The Turn signal went from the 240Z/260Z style to a solid metal chassis. Value depends on the market. There are plenty of them out there and not a big demand for them (I know, I have tons and no interested parties as of yet) Price them according to what people offer and their shape (good/bad, dirty/clean etc/etc.... I sell my completely rebuilt ones for about $75, where as the 240Z switches start at about $100 and go up from there. Dave.
