i organised a piece of this seal from Cicognani to provide a sectional view. It is definitely the make of the rubber seal that prevents a proper fit. I modified the pic a little to give better visibility - the trim does not hook into the rubber deep enough. Does anybody have a recommendation for a s...

This was exactly what I was looking for, thank you very much.

Thank you very much Kerry!

My car was sold through the Italian dealer Crepaldi to the first owner. I will reproduce the dealer sticker to attach it to the rear screen as shown in the picture. Does anybody have a better pic from this sticker to reproduce the correct typing? I reproduced several decals/stamps for the GTE in the...

The top frame to hold the battery down is missing in my car. The bottom frame seems original and indicates to welcome the correct group 27 size battery (see pics). As to what I learned from older threads in this forum the top frame is of other/smaller dimensions than the bottom frame. Can anybody ad...

Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts and expertise! We will try installing the seal again based on your hint.

I have problems with the fit of the rubber seals for the front and rear screens. The rubber is not shaped correctly so that there is a gap between the chrome trim and the seal.

I received the replacement rope with 5mm and it is too thick. Seems that the original zinc plated metal rope for the drop stop of the rear axle is of dimension 4,5 mm 7x19 and not 5mm as described initially.

Thank you Tom.

The body of my GTE will soon be ready for the paint job. I have read a lot here in the forum but do not want to miss out asking you for tips & tricks what to take care of when painting the car. This question is about both, body color and black satin finish for the engine bay. Any experience and know...

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...

GTE with Webasto sunroof.

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.
