Handbreak cable. Which one does fit

Featured Replies

Hey guys.

I have a rather urgent question:

TO make the car road-legal, I have to change the handbreak cable on my 1972 Datsun 240Z, but i´m not sure, which part to go with.

I could have one from nearby, which comes out of a 260 2+2 or go with something like this:

Datsun Fairlady Z 240Z 260z 280z 2SEAT Hand Brake 2 Cables New | eBay

My question is: Are they all the same in the 240´s to the 280´s or are there major differences. Can even the 2+2-versions be used, or are they way longer then the ones in the 2-seater?

Maybe its just a detail changed, but it seems to me, that there are numerous different Part-No. This does not necessarilly mean, that the part is really different.......Thats why im asking you guys.

Or does anybody have a source for my part, which doesnt ask 240 bucks for just one cable?

Thanks guys, my adventure over here in germany with the Datsun just beginns......

Best regards,

Arizona Z car says it is 240 only, then 260-280, then 280zx.

They show to have a cable for the 240, but you have to call for prices.

I purchased this cable from ebay for my 71 240z. You will have to drill a slightly larger hole in the mounting brackets under the car. Very easy mod.
