This looks identical to the knobs on the several series II 330 GTs that I've seen (including mine).

A conical lock nut holds the knob at the angle desired by the driver so his/her fingers fit into the grooves properly.

Well, several things have happened with regards to the PF coupe project. I actually have 2 PF coupes right now. The first one I tried to buy ended up here in the Seattle area. It turned out to be a bigger project than expected so I ended up with it. So the bare metal car is a quasi parts car (or at ...

I'm not sure what the number on the passenger side is. The 1816/62E is the numero interno (internal motor number). This is what Ferrari calls the engine serial number. Usually the chassis number is also stamped nearby. When the block was cast and cleaned up, the numero interno number was stamped on ...

There's a wiring diagram on P. 87 of the GTE owner's manual. This can be downloaded from the Ferrari Owner's Site (http://www.owners.ferrari.com).

It is the same company, but comparing the web site to an older catalog I have, they've moved and changed ownership.

Since the engine is in another car, I would suspect that this is now a replica or parted out.

Another choice if you can determine where the loops go at each end is to take the cable to a good marine hardware store. They can swage fittings and connectors on almost any cable. These are the same fittings that hold masts up, so the strain from a Ferrari window winder shouldn't be a problem.

For the plastic vapor barrier behind the door panel, buy some clear heavy duty plastic (10 mil or so). It should be available at a building supply store and use double stick tape (office supply place) to go around the whole outside. Just be careful and check that it won't show once the door panel is...

Lowell Brown made some up using Word and then printing on glossy picture paper. Maybe he can send you the file. The only trick is getting the right font and size and then not getting the number exactly in the center as they always seem to be off center.

In the front of the 330, I set the pads under the frame just behind the wheels (where the splash shield is). In the rear, there are two stubs that stick out from the frame ahead of the differential that I use. In both cases, I use 4" extensions so the arms don't impact on the pinch weld of the rocke...

Although I didn't need to, I also had the concrete thickness under the posts doubled to 8" thick. For my lift, the requirement was 4" of 3000 PSI concrete. The normal concrete used for a garage floor is only 2000-2500 PSI strength so I specified the extra strength (at extra cost of course). If you a...

When I built my shop in 2002, I spent quite a bit of time looking into what type of lift I wanted. Basically there are a couple of questions you need to answer: 1. Do you want to use it mainly for oil changes, detailing, etc.? If so, a 4 post drive on lift would be appropriate. These also have the f...

Just keep in mind that these cars were all handmade, not from perfectly machine stamped pieces. So the pretty lines that Pininfarina turned out were not because of the straight metal underneath, but the lead and thin layer of filler that they put on and then sanded smooth.

Michael, here's the story about taking apart the front suspension and springs on my 330 GT: http://www.parrotbyte.com/kbc/ferrari/FrontSuspension1.htm As for the spring compressor I used, there's very little room to use one that fits on the outside. I tried an internal one that I couldn't make work....
