Re: Securing plate for droop stop rubber

Those parts looked familiar, but I guess not! Probably comes from all the time I spent with those drawings...

By the way, the Baroclem sticker is from Kilamanjaro design.

Re: Vintage Style Battery Manufacturers

Got my new "old" battery today from Jim's Battery. Yes, it is not exactly like the one in the Owner's Manual but still looks great in the engine bay. Expensive yes, but it gets a lot of comments at shows and makes me happy.

Re: Vintage Style Battery Manufacturers

As luck would have it, my replica battery just died. It lasted 3 1/2 years and I am sure it would have lasted longer had I not left the lights on in the car overnight... I emailed Jim's Battery again and this time they responded in only 3 1/2 weeks! They say it is still available and lead time is 3-...

Rebuilding a pedal box and other parts

When restoring my GTE I found it so satisfying to do a job like you just did. Yes, it would eventually make the car work better when finished, but just watching it go from a messy, crappy looking pile of metal to looking brand new was exciting. I used to leave the finished parts sitting out as inspi...

Re: Vintage Style Battery Manufacturers

I sent an email to Jim's Batteries (aabmfginc@gmail.com) just under a month ago and got a reply today saying they are still selling reproduction batteries. Don't know the details and I don't have another month to find out. I do like the one they sold me, however!

Re: Vintage Style Battery Manufacturers

I checked my build sheets and my Series III GTE did have a Baroclem ?11 Battery. I couldn't read the first number but other Series III Build Sheets confirmed that it was M11.

Re: Vintage Style Battery Manufacturers

Yes, Motion kept the Kilimanjaro name and web site. I have the Baroclem sticker and I think it looks great. I actually am not sure when Ferrari switched battery suppliers. I went with Baroclem because that is what is shown in the owners manual. You can see from the manual picture that it was the ear...

Re: Vintage Style Battery Manufacturers

I purchased my G67P/RF/DS Red Caps battery from Jim's Battery in Youngstown Ohio who appears to be out of business. It looks like the photo you have and and it is a 67P. The RF means the positive terminal is in the right front, P stands for Plain and I don't remember what DS stands for. Regardless i...

Re: Factory Ferrari visit tips needed

Kerry, I think you and I have already swapped build sheets but we should catch up. Dyke, if you have any GTE sheets I would love to compare.
