"Yes, you'll need some machine work to get the Z-car drums to fit. IIRC,
basically you're opening up the center hole on the drum because the raised
section on the end of the axle is larger in diameter on the roadsters than
on the Z. I'm pretty sure that the drums for any 1st gen 240/256/280 will
work."

Hi folks,
240Z/260Z drums will go straight onto the rear of a '65 SP310, axle flange
is flat so centre hole is fine.
Dust lip engages backing plate like it was made for it, i.e. NO MODS.
Front will require the finned drum centre to be enlarged to 78mm diam, from
68mm diam.
Looks like the dust lip will be OK once you enlarge the hole as above.
If you have front disc brakes, fitting the finned drums will be a real
problem, heheheheh!
