Re: Power Windows in my 330 GTC

First I want to thank everyone who responded to my posting, months ago, about the repair of the power windows in my '66 GTC. After months of working on this intermittently, admixed with some "approach avoidance anxiety", I finally got in some solid wrench time and they both now work great. While re...

Re: fuel pipe

Ferrari used 10mm OD copper plated steel tubing for the fuel pipes that run from the front of the car to the rear. The fittings on these pipes are silver soldered on.Some of fuel pipes that have tight bends in them are made from 10mm copper pipe that is cadmium plated (for example the Y pipe that t...

Re: Coils... again

I have tried to mimic the color difference. When stripping the paint off the resistors, I found the color to be a very dark red. These colors are "Regal Red" for the coils and "Burgundy" for the resitors, both by Rust-Oleum.john John, in my monitor the colors look very correct, but i am not sure ab...

John, It would seem the tubing would be 10mm OD and 8mm ID, steel tubing. Is this the run from the rear to the front. Fittings soldered to the ends?

Re: The 2009 Radcliffe Motorcar/ Tomyang.net Spring Event

I am sure Tom has a slot for you Craig to do a power point of the finer details and minutia of Italian car electrics. We expect it to be at least 2 hours long and have foot notes! :wink: Yale, i was preparing for the annealing of vintage upholstery hog ring seminar, but lack of interest has squashe...

The 2009 Radcliffe Motorcar/ Tomyang.net Spring Event

This looks to be the highlight of May 2009! Is anyone signed to be there? I don't have a Ferrari to bring at this time, but the 23 T speedster might do. I see there are some seminars? Maybe the instructor can share some crimping guidelines? Can we bring our heads to be rebuilt on the spot by Baltimo...

Re: You do not have the required permissions to read topics with

Yes, the achieve seems fine now. I would suggest that the Crimpin thread be moved to the archive, if it is important to preserve it in its current succinct state.

Re: Coils... again

Two more photos from Cornelis, thank you. first is a clearer view of the BZR200A red top coil and its stamping. second is a closer view of the 6P resistor with full oval ( i dont know if the full oval at the bottom of the resistor is really a dateable trait or not as the sample we have is too small ...

Re: Coils... again

A question about the stamping on the resistors... is it just a surface/superficial stamp or is it a stamping into the ceramic casting of the unit, done before baking. Mine was painted over and once I removed the paint there was no trace of any lettering. Thanks.john John, my research so far seems t...

Re: Coils... again

A couple more great coil photos from Cornelis. The red coil seems to be embossed - 12V B20D8 note: the truncated Marelli logo on the bare white resistor. This is an early sixties trait, my guess 1962 thru 1965. The black coil is embossed - 12V BZR200D My later coil with black Bakelite and red metal ...

When i try to access the Archive folder? forum?, it says i do not have permission. I thought i remember browsing this Archive, so as usual ,...

Re: Crimpin' 101

Damn Todd where were the close ups of the date codes on those connectors? Craig baby, I think a 40 page string of pictures of the different crimps made by the different brand of crimping tools, along with the full names of the Italian companies abbreviated monikers, ads for these tools through the ...
