Guest Jim226 Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 Hey everyone i just got an early 74' 260z for a 150 bucks. Now here is the question? i have a later 260z (big bumper style) and was wondering are the strut cartridges the same(later & earlier)or is it the late model 260z's got the larger ones and the early ones got 240z ones. I ask this because i have a tokico set for a later model 260z but i need one new large diameter cart. and can not find it anywhere. Can i use the set up on early cart????

stony Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 the late model 260 is the same as the 280 and the early 260 is the same as the 240 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synlubes Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 I have seen some differences in the 74 year models, but Stony is generlly right in his statement. Here are a size reference between early and late struts. Z strut O.D. measurements 240 struts O.D. is 2.02" (taken from '73 strut) 280 struts O.D. is 2.185" (taken from ’76 strut) I think there might be some differences with the hights of the spring perch mounts as well. not 100% sure. Either can be used on your car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jim226 Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 So even though i have a tokico set intended for a later 74' with large struts i can use the kit setup on early cart. ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
