Just bought a rear slam panel for a 240z / 260z
I assumed it was the same as a 260z panel
Looking on the net other sites also list it as interchangeable panel, but how?
The 240 slam panel I got is curved on its rear edge, above the lights ?
Whereas my 260 is straight - to allow the lights to attach down onto it?
I can't see how it can fit :unsure:
 
are you sure its the original one on the car as my early 260z is curved on the edge

tbh i'm not
Spent ages now looking at panel pics trying to work out whats what
So far I've only seen 280z's with straight-er edge, like mine :confused:
 
i see what you mean,i will compare mine in the morning as i have that slam panel fitted on my car.
 
The slam panels on both my '78 260Z 2+2 and my '74 240Z both have the same curvature of approx 20mm. Neither of these are original panels but both work just fine.
 
checked mine today that i had removed and it is curved,but they should be curved as the tailgate is aswell
 
Ok peeps, many thanks

This is what i've got



As I found out today after sanding it back, its been made out of 3 diffo sections !



I assume to keep it straight or just cos it was easier ?




Still if a curved panel fits and works, or is how it should be then that'll do me :)
 
Wyn, finding things like that makes the tidying-up project so much more worthwhile.

What I can't understand is why did the previous owner botch that panel without sorting out the rusty ends?

Keep up the good work.
