Ironhead Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) My car has been apart for so long I cannot remember... My car is a '74 260z. What attaches to the bracket I have circled in the photo? There is an identical one on the other side. They are sort of in my way, and I was about to remove them, but I can't remember what they do... Can anyone with a decent memory or an intact car help me out? Thanks! Edited March 8, 2019 by Ironhead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZHoob2004 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Is that even a factory bracket? I scoured google images looking at 240 and 260 radiator supports and I didn't see that on any of them. Maybe an intercooler mount? Bumper swap? Radiator ducts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironhead Posted March 8, 2019 Author Share Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) It looks factory...standard spotwelds and M8 weld nuts. I too perused the 'net and could not find them on other cars... Screw it....I'm takin them off. If it turns out to be a mistake it'll be easy enough to replace them. Thanks much for the input.

LLave Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 My car has those too. I am 90% sure they are to mount the horns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLave Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Found a picture, not my car just a random from the internets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgsheen Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Yup, that's where the horns are on my 260... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironhead Posted March 8, 2019 Author Share Posted March 8, 2019 Thanks guys, you rock! Now I am going to ditch them without hesitation.... Kind of surprising really. Those are heavy metal brackets with dual M8 threads on each. Seems like overkill to mount horns.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pharaohabq Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Yup Horns. I just pulled mine off so I can paint... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgsheen Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 On the 260's there's also an alternate horn mount location on the front of the lower radiator core support. Upside down it puts them a little low... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
