bumper interchange 240z 260z brackets

[zgeezer]

My Z is a 71 Series I. I replaced the front clip with a 72 or 73. The bumper mounts are now rather heavy pieces that bolt to the "frame rails" and have the large "tube" that fits into the front bumper. I do not have any front bumpers. I have an opportunity to purchase a set of 260Z thin front and rear bumpers that are in excellent shape, but still mounted on the vehicle.

 

My 72-73 bumper mounts appear to push the front bumpers forward about 2 inches over the original early 71 "body" mounts. I can live with this if the 260 bumpers can be bolted on the to the mounts; so my question is: "Will the front thin bumpers from a 260 bolt onto the 72-73 240 bumper mounts without cutting or drilling?

 

Thanks,
