Sparks280zt Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 OK, i did a search with "doors" and found tons of posts about how the 240 to 280 Z door swap dosent work without alot of modification. But I did not find any info regarding an early 260 door going on a 76 280z. Any help would be great, the reason I am asking is my painter said if I could find some descent doors he would paint them for free, as mine turned out not so good.

sdawson Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 You can use a door from 1973-76. The problem with the '73 is that the 260z arm rest is different but can be made to work. The 75 and 76 doors should work well. The latch mech. changed in '77 and the lock pull moved about 3 inches forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks280zt Posted April 22, 2005 Author Share Posted April 22, 2005 Can anyone verify this? The 260 the doors would be coming off is an early one with the small bumpers, my 280 is a 76. When I say can they be swapped, I mean bolt on with no mod to the latching mechanism and door strikers etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks280zt Posted April 25, 2005 Author Share Posted April 25, 2005 Well I can answer this my question now, YES early 260 doors will fit a 76 280z. I used the 280z door hinges, 260 door, and striker plate. Fits like a glove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
