MATTY Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I'm on the hunt for a another front bar if any one in around brissy has one for sale in fair condition? ill be cleaning it up and it will get painted so the finish isn't crucial. mine is bent and its starting to annoy me enough to replace it. dont really want to buy a new one if i dont need to Also anyone have any updated suppliers for the Rad support and the infill sheet that goes along with it?? the bottom is fine but the top appears to have been "repaired" and filled with bog and the in fill sheet that goes with it is also bent and distorted. i did see that nat0 was doing some a while back but the posts look to have gone quite. any pointers on a supplier would be appreciated.

Rickers Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 A guy from VIC had a few NOS 260z radiator support panels a year or so ago, I can PM you his number if you like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilltech Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) FWIW those ones for sale were for the later 260Z type front bar rail which dips down; early 260Z ones were more the 240Z style as in straight across.

MATTY Posted September 21, 2018 Author Share Posted September 21, 2018 It would be the early 260z ones I’m chasing being a ‘74. Is that for the bumper it’s self you’re talking about or the rad support?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilltech Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) Sorry, poor wording/typo on my part I wrote bar when I meant to write rail across the bottom of the radiator support panel. I don't know how many variations there were of the radiator support panel. There were several of the later style advertised a while back, I was tempted myself but I don't know if such can be utilized somehow on an early 260 (which I have) or not; certainly the splash pan is made specific to each type as is the radiator. I suspect the early 260 one which you're wanting is much the same as the 240 or at least the later 240 which might help widen the net for you.

My lower rad support is fine surprisingly it’s more so the top and the infill sheet the radiator bolts too is my main concern. I might need to suss out my mates older 2+2 to see if there is any differences. If I have to re make one I guess I can just thought I’d try my luck first as I’ll be doing extend floor rails to suit at a later date as well.

dattocam Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I had them, there may be 1 left if you're interested, early 260z were the same as the 240z item. If you're only after the top section it may be worth looking at your mates 2+2. Cam 0457516014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
