jay28 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Hi All, Just wondering if anyone knows if I'de get a 260z 2+2 carpet kit for a right hand drive in the States? Not having much luck finding any. Cheers, Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 The kit I got from upgrade motoring would probably work fine for everything except the pieces under the front seats. You might try calling them and asking if you can order everything but those and maybe get the front pieces sewn backwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay28 Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 Would the front carpet piece's work? I dont think they would, they would have to be turned inside out, doesn't the drivers carpet have a rubber part to stop ware? I'm not too sure.

Challenger Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Yeah, I meant the carpet pieces that go from the front seats to the firewall. Those woldnt work, like you said theyd need to be turned inside out. Yes they have a rubber/plastic panel sewn in to reduce wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony D Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 The pieces from a coupe TO the seats are identical for a 2+2. So if you get a kit for a RHD Coupe, and use the footwell pieces, coupled with the rear section of a LHD 2+2 kit, it will work. I pieced together two kits similarly for my Fairlady 2/2 from a set of carpets I took out of a Fairlady Coupe in Japan, coupled with a 'missing pieces' 2+2 carpet kit I bought at MSA during their 'garage sale' which was missing the footwells (and was exceedingly cheap to boot!). I have also pieced together LHD kits similarly with coupe fronts and 2+2 rears. The difference is BEHIND the seats. The front mounting rail for the seats is identical in coupes and 2+2's from what I have seen by my piecework. And I got lucky as heck to find someone who was missing the pieces I had left over, and had him pay out the nose to take them off my hands to rejuvinate his car! LOL From what I know about 2+2's and 2+2 Eurospec vehicles, order a 2+2 kit for an EARLY LHD 2+2. Compare your rear seat to what you can find on early 74 260Z 2+2's and Early 75 280Z 2+2's here in the US Market, as the hinges changed, as did how the carpet was trimmed to fit the back seat area. I doubt a 77/78 LHD 2+2 kit would work for a later model (77-78) Eurospec 260Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
