Thanks Gav, I had been gathering photos as well but hadn't had any with those two brackets. My radio just has the case without the brackets. That would explain the difficulties. Strangely, no materials on line for it. I couldn't see it on the part diagrams etc, so that photo is great. I suspect we will have to make something to replicate the bracket.

Get it on a hoist or stands and inspect with a torch. Lightly tap and probe any suspect rust areas to check for soft metal, as rails can rust inside and out. Pay close attention to suspension mounts, sills and floor pans. For that kind of money, a professional inspection is worth it.

Holy thread revival, Batman!

And finally... And on the 28th of December 2025, I borrowed a mates enclosed trainer, loaded the 240Z up, drove to Sydney and personally delivered to Tony the mother of all birthday presents: 4 years (with 6 - 8 month break in the middle). 1682 Hours (lots not accounted for). Lots of lessons learnt. One VERY happy owner of 240Z HS30-00211 Would I take on a project like this again? You bet I would.
