A new 260Z is born - Jeffrey R's 260Z

[Mike Mackaman]

Good to see another Z driver. I have a 260 that I drive once or twice a year, and I maintain David Spillmans 240. Let me know if you need anything. I make some nice camber plates, David's old car had them, the new tub we are looking at has them and I put a set on Parish's car this winter. Supposed to get Donnelly's car up here when the scheduling gods permit. I also make caliper cooling ducts that drop the caliper temp by 200 degrees in July at Road Atlanta and weigh like 1/2 an oz each. Fiberglass with high temp epoxy resin.

and I can powder coat suspension parts pretty cheap, sooo easy to clean!

Thanks guys for the info and encouragement. Lots of little things to do but I just keep plugging away at it. I do need that brake shoe locating block. Not sure what to call it other than it bolts to the rear backing plate and the top of the rear shoes pivot against it. Found one and asked Jeff about the other side. He says its there but I just can't find it. I will ask Dr. Earp Monday when he gets back from Roebling. Unless one of you guys have a junker you can grab one off of. Sometimes the simplest things are the hardest to source and hold you up the most.

If you do still need it I have it sitting on my dining room table.

Yes I do. So what is that little doodad called? You take paypal. I can send you an email with my address. I am humbled by your expedience on Friday especially.

Hi Ed, welcome to the fun as a Z pilot

I am just now reading this and since Chris has got you fixed up, I don't need to go look for a pivot block, which I know I have.

Hope to see you at the track, come on over to Nashville in June if you get the chance.

Blind luck really. My brother was stripping our parts car which is parked where I work, and literally was taking the rear wheels off when you posted. We have other rear brake backplates buried inside, but they would take an act of God to find. I'll figure out what shipping will cost and send you a PM. That's all it will be. I'm just happy to see more z-cars out there.
