Hub Pullers

Would anybody be able to confirm or deny if the original RW hub pullers supplied with the Ferrari tool kits had any stampings on them. I have "heard" that the originals had "RW" stamped on them. However I do know that some handles were fixed and some were not leading me to think that the stampings m...

Re: seat belts

Peter, are your klippan belts labeled with a tag? If so what model are they and is there a year stamped on it. I believe the Daytonas all used Klippans but the model of belt changed from year to year: Klippan model 517,562, etc. I was curious to see what model Klippan the earlier 330 ferrari would u...

I think you are correct regarding the Irvins and Kippans. However I have noticed a subtle difference in some Irvins. Difficult to describe. Seemed that the GTC and 275's are a little different. I will see if I can find some pics to post.

Sorry on the spelling. Its Klippan

Re: seat belts

While we are on seat belts does anyone know if there were different styles of Irvin seat belts? If so was each meant for a specific model? I have seen the clip buckles that were all natural in appearance. But I have also seen some Irvins that were chromed and a little different configuration. One se...

Re: Door Handles

Hi
Mine were also bent from previous over tightening. I, very carefully, brought them back to form and then installed a spacer between each mounting hole and casting. There is also a rubber gasket that goes between your bent portion and the door.

I would like to pass on a site pertaining to the laycock overdrive units. http://www.worldphaco.net. I found it by a simple google search of laycock overdrive units. It is in PDF and is 19 pages and is a must copy for anyone with one of these overdrives. It is common knowledge that Ferrari used the ...

Re: speedometer drive

Cory If the odometer is accurate as you mention above, then I would suspect the gauge again regardless of the assumed restoration. + 1 I want to clarify my initial comment about the speedometer. While driving, the odometer tenth and mile counter clicks off appropriately. That is to say it is workin...

Re: speedometer drive

C. Thank you. Great pictures. I was told by the specialist that rebuilt my unit that the gear in your pictures is "free floating". There was no mention of a wedge for anti rotation. I too hope it was not forgotten. Can I assume that the only way to get to that gear is by taking the back part of the ...
