mustache bar

[Guest tomjr713]

Looking for: 280z mustache bar that measures 3.5 inches between the mounting bolts on the diff cover.

Bolt spacing is not really a spec or criterion that Mustache bars are referred by.

 

For what its worth, there are only 2 mustache bars available for the 70-78 Z cars including the coupe and 2+2. One is for the R-180 differential, the other is for the larger R-200.

 

 

1) The R-180 Mustache bar only fits the R-180 and the R-160 differentials, regardless of the 240/260/280 Z car it is being installed in, and routes in front of the uprights. (Non of the Z cars came with the R-160, but it can be installed with the R-180 mustache bar),

 

2) The R-200 mustache bar only fits the R-200 differential regardless of the 240/260/280 Z-car it is being installed in and routes behind the uprights and is thicker than the R-180 mustache bar.

 

Side note. The newer short nose R-200 Differentials require quite a bit of fabrication to install in a 240/26/280 Z car including a custom or altered mustache bar as the rear bolt spacing is different yet. A few members here have altered the stock mustache to accept the newer short nose bolt spacing, though it requires techniques best left to professional shops, not really a backyard/garage DIY project.

 

Hope that helps,

Paul
