The "ridiculous" details are the coolest ones! Looks great Tom.

Re: 1965 330 GT 2+2 Series 1 iterim car radio
Speakers were installed by the factory, radios (if fitted) were installed by the dealer. I believe S1/interim should be mono (single speaker in console and I believe single speaker in rear-shelf -- easy to confirm by looking). Becker and Blaupunkt were a most commonly use. Becker Europa is a good ma...

Re: 250 seat/ball bearings
I don't know if it's the same as the 250, but on my 330 GT there were 4 ball bearings in each rail. I don't remember the specifics, but from my notes, the bearings were difficult to see until I removed the allen bolts on the seat rail. The bearings can be tapped into place if they fall out. I think ...

Re: Restoring the Dash Wood on a 330
Thank you peter, then i assume that when it soaks in the darker color will begin to appear and potentially match to the unexposed areas? Would any sanding of it be helpful? Hopefully a few more people will chime in so you can advice from a few people before taking action. My thoughts are below: Yes...

Re: Restoring the Dash Wood on a 330
The 330 dashes are just plain teak, I believe they were treated with only oil at the factory, with no stain or clear applied (somebody correct me if I'm wrong). Teak does get dried out rather easily, but it's easy to restore back to new even if it looks awful. This is why teak is used in marine appl...

Re: Fitting 205VR15 CN72 HS Cinturatos to a GTE
You can use this tire size calculator to compare sizes -> https://tiresize.com/comparison/ 185/78-15 is 26.4" in diameter while 205/70-15 is 26.3", so they should be roughly the same for filling out the wheel well. If the original tires were 80 series rather than 78, then the 185/80-15 diameter woul...

Re: thoughts on attaching rear license plate?
I would figure out what the factory or dealers used in period to mount the plates and use exactly that, which will likely require drilling. For the 330GT, the factory made a frame specifically to mount US plates -- it is a super thin surround (stainless or chrome, I'm not sure) and it curves slightl...

Re: 1965 330 Series 1 Sun Visor repair
Here is the heat seal you get with the cheap heat sealer I posted previously. I used it to cut a 45 degree corner on a vinyl folder that is fairly thick. The sealer "heat seals" the edge and cuts the outside portion to create a smooth edge. In the photo below, the portion in the middle is the heat s...

Re: 1965 330 Series 1 Sun Visor repair
I don't know whether it would work for the thicker vinyl on the visor, but believe it or not, these cheap handheld "heat sealers" (https://www.amazon.com/Premium-Heat-Sealer-Food-Saver/dp/B01I2GFIZA/ref=sr_1_3_sspa?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1507835765&sr=1-3-spons&keywords=heat+bag+sealer&psc=1) wor...

Re: Air trompets
It would be helpful to see an end picture of the base to get a better idea. From the picture you have, the base looks like the right era Fiamm horn for 60's Ferraris. The trumpets with the bend at the end don't look like any Ferrari horn I've seen. The only Ferrari trumpets I've seen have straight t...

Re: How to search for phrase?
Most forum search tools are not very good. The forum software that Tom's site uses seems to have a better search function than most, but often the best way to search forums is to use a site-specific search on Google like this -> "water temperature" site:tomyang.net (<- enter this into Google).

Re: Trunk latch
There is a noticeable protrusion on mine that is not on your's . That is why it stays open that amount for me. This must be from a different model Ferrari , anybody have an extra Latch.

Re: Trunk latch
That is possible, it was disassembled when we have it refinished. I will try to switch it in the morning but that sounds like the best explanation. Thanks guys I will let you know in the morning .
