seat frame?

[pjoe]

Is the seat seat frame the same on a 240z and 280z? Mine is rusted pretty bad and before I try to weld it I figured I might be able to find a better used one.

No, the seat frames are different. The 240's have a webbed support structure for the seat bottom and the recline mechanism is different. 280z's have spring supports for the seat bottom and a cam-like recline mechanism. Whichever style you have, I think it would be better to find a good spare rather than weld -that is if you weld like I do!

figures...thanks. Guess I'll try to find a 240z seat or I'll have to weld it. I was hoping I was done with welding

The later series II 240Z's have metal springs on the bottom. You would have to find a 280Z frame and compare it side by side with a 240Z frame

Thanks. I got in touch with Barry at east coast z, he has a seat from a 260 for me. He says they are the same so we shall see. Mine has metal springs on the bottom.
