Brabham Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Hi, can anyone tell me the specs of the fasteners used to retain 240Z quarter windows? Cheers Quote
Retro Z Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 I used m4x1.25 thread 20mm length allen key mushroom head bolts. You could also just re-tap it to a larger m6 sized hole if its abit rusty. Quote
PZG302 Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Tech screws and perspex, because race car...... Sorry bored at work at the end of the day......... Quote
Brabham Posted February 18, 2016 Author Posted February 18, 2016 Hi Tai, thanks for that, does that pitch fit in the original tapped holes in the windows or did you re-tap it to that? I'm after as original as possible, but will probably go to stainless as I noticed that one of them has rusted in (all the others were missing). Tech screws and perspex, because race car...... Sorry bored at work at the end of the day......... Haha not a fan of the tech screw look, bit agricultural for my liking. If I was doing a track 240Z though I would go lexan with machine screws and nylock nuts If anyone could take one out and measure up an original it would be much appreciated... Come in Gav, master of originality Quote
Retro Z Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 That was the standard thread pitch and I did not re-tap. But the stock ones I removed were phillip head screws and not bolts gav240z 1 Quote
PeterH Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 1.25 is vary coarse for M4 . 0.7 mm is the standard coarse pitch for M4 I can measure mine when I get home on Sarurday if that's any good to you. Quote
Brabham Posted February 18, 2016 Author Posted February 18, 2016 Thanks guys, Peter that would be much appreciated, let me know what washers are used as well please. Cheers Quote

I think you are correct. Its the finer thread of the 2 common sized m4’s. I just said 1.25 as in the larger sized bolts 1.5 is the coarser common thead pitch. Quote
PeterAllen Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 .... If I was doing a track 240Z though I would go lexan with machine screws and nylock nuts ... Or a GTO. Quote
Brabham Posted February 18, 2016 Author Posted February 18, 2016 Or a GTO But sadly we can't all drive Ferrari-Chevrolets gav240z 1 Quote
