    Default Centre Console

    Hi,

    I'm looking for a centre console for a 1976 2 seater 260z.
    I have posted in classifieds aswell, but i know some of you stop over here more often.

    Also, is there any difference between the 2-seater and 2+2 centre consoles.

    Cheers,
    Kirby

    2+2 has a cigarette tray in the back of it. I believe it may be a tad longer but haven't confirmed that.

    What is the current condition of yours? I ask because you can get them repaired and that might work out better.

    , i have about half of it. It extends to about 5 inches past the gear shifter hole. Where it has been cut off. Not to mention the part i have is cracked and bent to all buggery. *sigh*

    G'Day Kirby,

    Back in January, '02, I purchased a NEW centre console for my '74 260 Z from All Z Parts.
    Total cost, (at that time), was $371.oo including GST and freight to Rockhampton.

    The original console was cracked right accross the console, just behind the choke lever, and continued almost all the way down the passenger side. I took it to a place in Rocky that specialises in plastic repair. It cost me $110.oo and lasted about two months. $110.oo wasted.

    I think you'll find that the same console fits both the 2 and 4 seaters as mine came with a hole in the rear end, (no jokes please), presumeably for an ash tray, that I covered up using a square of plastic taken from the old one.

    Hope that's of some help to you,

    Rick.

    The centre console in my 260 2 seater also has the hole for an ash tray. No idea if this is the original console though.

    I have a brand new centre consol replacement that was made for me several years ago. MY cost was at that time $300.00
    It is a custom fit and may require a little fiddling to make it suitable for you "beast".

    It's surplus to my requirements and I am offering it for sale. Please note it has never been used as I decided to construct a wood consul as a replacement.

    All reasonable offers will be considered.
    May be inspected in Oakleigh, 3166 during normal business hours.
    PM any offers or further info.
