grdeclipse Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Hello fellow Z owner's. I'm new to the is forum and the Z community. I recently acquired a 72 240z that looks to have been in a front end collision and someone tried to repair it. So to get to my question does anyone know where I can find a replacement radiator support or know of anyone that has custom fabricated one before? Any help or advise would be appreciated.

grdeclipse Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 Trust me I've looked through all the local junk yards. None of them have any z cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rturbo 930 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Put up a thread in the wanted section for what you need. I think that's your best bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Some members here have fabricated radiator supports. Might try searching here and on Google as there are many Z sites. Craigs list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grdeclipse Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 Will do. To bad there isn't more available collision parts available for these cars anymore. Thanks for the advise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grdeclipse Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 Thank you for link. I tried getting ahold of them a while ago, I'll try again . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neverdone Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 just know that none of those parts are for a 72 240z. But...welding on a 280z front support might be an upgrade...so there's that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim.d Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I had to replace my engine bay frame rails, and made my own radiator lower support. 2 or 2.5" square: Will need to finish out the rest of the core support panels at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NW240Z Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I have a few parts cars as well, If you can't find what you need with the other forum member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did get a good front section it's on its way as we speak. Thanks for looking out though. I might need a rear tail light panel and bumper if you have any good ones?

Do you mean the panel around the taillight? Or the sill where you close the hatch? I have bumpers off a 73 but they have some dings and rust.
