Re: Vintage Style Battery Manufacturers

Thank you for the link on ebay, this seems to be what I need. As an reaction to obviously some of us watching the item the seller increased the price to EUR 150,00 in the meantime. The greed we are confronted with at virtually any part we need for our cars is disgusting und sometimes harms my pleasu...

Re: Vintage Style Battery Manufacturers

I could not find a source for the original type plastic screw plugs of the Baroclem Battery. Does anybody have one of these screwed sealing plugs? The classic batteries available today have red round plugs, I want to have the original type reproduced but need a sample to manage this.

Lower rocker panel /sill trim for 250 GTE

Does anybody know a source where to get a good replacement for the lower rocker panel / sill trim? It is made from alloy and fixed with hidden screws that slide in a rail on the underside. A replacement from stainless steel would also be acceptable as this trim is finished in black semi mat varnish.

plating of screws

Hello, the screws at my doors (see picture / screws 16 - 20) seem to be chromed. The same type of screws are used at other positions than the 2 doors and are cadmium plated there. The question is whether these visible screws at the doors have been chromed originally from the factory or if one pre-ow...

Screws during the paint job

Does anybody know whether the screws for trunk lid, engine hood and fuel filler flap are originally covered with the paint from the paint job or are these black oxide? My assumption is that the engine hood was removed from the Ferrari factory after receiving the body from Pininfarina for better acce...

Re: Red rubber protection hose

Yes this is most likely factory fitted. This red hose shows spatters of black undercoating and looks 1960‘s throughout. It would be helpful if others with knowingly original GTEs could inform about their red hoses.

Re: Chrome bumber iron covers 250, 330…..??

Hello Chris,

can‘t particularly answer your questions, but mine from a series II GTE (#3631) look different in size and shape for both, front and rear bumpers. See pictures attached. I am looking to either restore these ore find some in better condition for a reasonable price.

Best regards,

Martin
