I don't remember Tyrone, but I do remember spending about 2 years looking for a decent 240 before finding about 6 of them tucked away in Lindsay's workshop. Rob did the panel work before he headed off to start up the z restoration factory. I had a really nice 180b station wagon before that which I regret selling. Not a sports car by any means, but it had a SSS engine with a bumpy cam that surprised a few commodores at the lights.

Hi folks. I'm just getting back into things after a long time in the wilderness... I've had my 71 Z for about 16 years - 3 engines, 2 rebuilds, 2 roofs... I bought it originally from z-spares in Clayton. The red interior appealed at the time as a bit different. Currently running a warmish L28 with a stack of head work. Recently went back to the old points distributor after the L24E electronic unit fritzed. Working on prepping up a new dizzy. The paintwork is looking very tired after years as a daily driver, with plenty of carpark dings and scrapes, so looking forward to another rebuild and paint this year! Cheers! Gary

Hi folks. I'm looking at installing the R31 rear disk setup on my 71 Z. There are a few sets appearing on eBay for relatively low money. From reading previous posts it sounds like there is some minor modification work needed to get them fitted: - Drill different mounting holes in the brackets and enlarge the centre hole - a handbrake mount needs to be welded on - remove the pressure valve in the master cylinder Is that about all that is needed? Would installing these with the standard front brakes upset the braking balance? I'm looking at upgrading the front brakes with a Hoppers Stoppers kit (PBR calipers and Falcon disks) later on.
