Out of curiosity, do you know the the flywheel, clutch and pressure plate weighs? I see different fiqures quoted for the presure plates and can't remember seeing what the clutch disc weighs.

The flywheel is 10.5 lbs. I will weigh the clutch and pressure plate for you and post it.

[HaZmatt]

According to my bathroom scale.... the flywheel is about 10.3 lbs and the pressure plate is about the same. The clutch disc is only 2 or 3 lbs.

Thanks. I can't remember what the 280Z pressure plates weigh. I think a bit under 10kg, but I might be thinking of the thinner 240Z early model.

Its a nice looking set-up you have.

Cheers

Here are the receipts from Fastenal and Clipsandfasteners.com for all of my yellow zinc hardware. I bought a little extra just to be safe so this list is NOT exact. Hope it helps someone.

Hey guys, I bought a 240Z steering wheel and i'm in need of a horn pad and the pieces that mount it to the wheel. If anyone has one laying around let me know how much.

Haz, you are doing an amazing job!! You should bring up to my place for the "Aspen changing" would love to see the ride in person. Sorry, can't help you with the steering wheel, I replaced mine with a 14" wheel, but I can't remember the name of the company(old timers disease kicked in). Anyway, my wheel looks very nice and I love the finger grips on it. Keep up the great work.

I would love to but I dont see this thing on the road anytime soon. Hopefully next spring! I was able to find a new horn mechanism on ebay so I will be able to make mine work.

I used the 260/280 horn on the 240 wheel I put it my car, it required making a little mount bracket and was overall a horrible experience where I convinced all my neighbors that I'm a psycho who honks at everyone that drives by, but it works great now.
