The roadster got finned aluminum drums starting in 67.5. Part No.
43206-25500

Anyone have a Z parts manual to compare?

My 67.5 has aluminum finned drums... are these the same or not?  I'm
confused!

I did a quick Search in the 311s.org forums on "240Z drum*". Found 11
matches, but this should answer your basic question:

"The Z drums will bolt right up with out any modifications using an adapter
plate which contains the correct boss and counterbore on the backside. I'm
going to get the pair of adapters machined on the lathe in the new year."

Here's a link to a drawing of the adapter:

Early roadsters had steel drums. To use the 240Z drums, you need to modify
or replace the backing plates.
