[Roadsters] OT - Australian 240Z question

[Lee Ehinger]

The change was made in 1970 for the 240Z.  ALL my high windshield roadsters
had the nad throttle tooo.. Apparently DOT rules were stringer, and since
there was no way to "shut off"  the throttle by pushing onte brakes, Nissan
had to remove them.

When was this change made?   (Makes some sense, just wondering.)

My '68 (and "earlier" '69) Roadster has a functional hand throttle
installed.
