Fuel Filler Area Profile (2 Seater Vs 2+2)

[gav240z]

Hey Guys,

 

This question probably got lost in amongst the other stuff going on in this thread.

 

Q. Is the profile of the lower half of a 2+2 1/4 panel the same as a 2 seater in the fuel filler area?

 

260z 2+2

 

I am guessing they are the same profile, but not 100% sure?

 

Here is the area on my 240z I'm wanting to repair. I could probably fabricate it, but an off cut will be much easier.

Hard to say without overlaying one over the other.

The 2+2 fuel door is a different shape, and the filler pipe securing system is different, compared to my 260 2-seat I know that.

You really need to measure up the internal layout behind the door.

It fits Gav. I chopped a 2+2 section and welded it in. Bardan (import monky) now has the car.

 

In relation to Gilltechs comment its only different if you use 1975+ where the recirc chamber was fitted. The 1974 models have same gauge steel and fuel door as the 240z. Later ones didnt.

Well given that the 2+2 didn't launch until late '74 I guess that means that the vast majority of the 260s are different.

Depends how much re-shaping you're happy to do I guess.

Just looking for a lazy way out of fabricating that section if possible.I have a spare fuel filler section I got off Ashley ages ago, but the other quarter panel shape is what I need. However it could be fabricated.
