Ed Posted June 19, 2004 Share #1 Posted June 19, 2004 Found this on e-bay and thought it was a weird way of repairing the frame rails. Notice the notches. And is he just covering up the old rusted metal? What do you guys think? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/12268-frame-rail-repair/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ManyZs Posted June 19, 2004 Share #2 Posted June 19, 2004 The rear section looks like a full replacement of the under floor rail. The front section looks like a patch to be put over top of the original rail. Probably not a good idea if the rail is rusty, but would work fine for those rails that have been "modified" by someone that didn't know where to put a jack or jackstands.

mdbrandy Posted June 19, 2004 Share #3 Posted June 19, 2004 He's been offering these for over a year now - I see them offered every few weeks. I'm assuming that he's manufacturing them, and that it isn't actually the same set over and over. It looks to me like the small kerfs (cuts) in the metal are his way of making the bends in the metal. Not particularly professional. I'd go with Charlie Osborne's (and in fact, I did!).

lordbiotree Posted June 20, 2004 Share #4 Posted June 20, 2004 For $85 I think I would go with the better qualty Zed findings ones. If the reserve was set at the current bit price($55) I would have to problem purchasing the rails for a daily driver. By no means would I put these on my resturation project.-Brandon 71 240ZP.S why is does he have a 280Z but selling 240Z parts. Where is the tranny at?
