74zzz Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 I have a front grill that I think is 240z/early 240z....... The reason for my confusion is i have a 260z and its grill is solid and the blades are all welded to the vertical supports where the spare one i have is flimsy and the blades are thin being held together by removable horizontal pieces......also it is missing the side supports......... is it worth anything? in good nick otherwise......... it looks like the attachment without the outside supports only has the centre "U" shaped braket cheers Quote
George Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 If it is I'd be interested as mine looks like it was dragged behind a truck across Australia. Quote
74zzz Posted September 8, 2015 Author Posted September 8, 2015 no worries george........will post some pics tonight Quote
theremm Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 yep that looks like an early style one Quote
74zzz Posted September 8, 2015 Author Posted September 8, 2015 sorry george false start:) it only has the 2 post not 4:( definitely a 240z though...... very straight and could be mounted as is but iif it were me i'd strip and remount. here are some photos if you are still keen or for anyone else........... will be posting a whole heap of bits and pieces for sale this weekend....

George Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 That one actually looks like the one that came off my car (no idea if it's correct or not for a '70) except yours seems to be missing the outer 2 vertical mounting posts. What is the correct one for a 1970-72 car? I take it they changed in 1973 or am I off the mark there? Quote
74zzz Posted September 8, 2015 Author Posted September 8, 2015 To be honest I'm not 100% sure mate.... Anyone else want to give their thoughts? Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted September 8, 2015 Administrators Posted September 8, 2015 Not that it helps, but I still can't tell the difference between them over the years. I can take a photo of the 1 on #150 and we can see if that helps? Quote
74zzz Posted September 8, 2015 Author Posted September 8, 2015 (edited) that would be good gav......considering the rebuild george is doing he will want to make sure its correct. the blades are folded metal rather than solid like the one on my 260z.......... Yep george it is missing the outside supports.......not really sure why someone has removed them as it seems like its never been bent or copped a hit.....in the pics the blades dont look straight but this is purely because it does not have the outside posts so they arnt held evenly apart......but if you have the supports on your current grill its an easy swap Edited September 8, 2015 by 74zzz Quote
