Re: Need contact for vintage guages

I want to locate a couple spare oil/fuel/temp Jaeger guages for my 1960 OSCA 1600 GT Zagato. I've done some Google research and came up with very little.

Re: Front Rotors and Hubs

Hi Cornelis, what are the "balancing holes"? Ed, I am unable to understand what is to be gained by turning the units as hubs/disks alltogether. Swapping the disks (left to right)... who cares. Once you turn the disks it's all starting from anew anyway. The hubs, of course, are unique to each corner...

Re: Front Rotors and Hubs

Hi Ed, I washed mine in solvent, sand blasted them then had them shaved. I couldn't resist painting the naked metal, so I used the leftover paint from the fuel filter to cover the non-frictioned surfaces. As for the hubs and the hardware, I understand they should be black oxide treated. john http:/...

Re: Heater installation...

The glass wool really is not thick enough to space the heater out. If I tighten the screws, the box will come too close to the body. There must have been something in between and so far I don't know what that is. Tom? Best wishes, Kare Yeah, Kare. On the isolation material is ALSO the Wilson carpet...

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 ...
