Re: Rebuilding a pedal box and other parts
Hi Chris,
Much to my wife's chagrin, I managed to make out washing machine last years beyond it's normal service life until the tub rusted out! Try as I might, some things will eventually have to be thrown away!

Re: Need Wiring Diagram GTE
Tom, Laurie Sparke 1961 250 GTE, Australia you may remember. I have no power to the fog lamp switch or fuse. Which of the 5 relays provides the power? Thanks, Laurie HI Laurie, The fog light is not a relay for the GTE. Are your interior lights working? There is a wire that feeds that circuit from a...

Re: Rebuilding a pedal box and other parts
In a world where everything seems to be made to be thrown away, it's satisfying to work on things that can be rebuilt and re-used to as new condition. I also feel I'm not contributing to the piles of things we throw away to buy new things, only for it to break, so we have to buy more. It's a vicious...

Re: Where to go for painting Ferrari vintage wheels
Hi Drew, I've had mixed results with wheels. I have not done a set of "concours" wheels in the sense of exact color matching and degree of gloss, or lack of. You can imagine the rabbit hole of choices and opinions that are out there. I think your Boxer wheels also have decals on the rim? I've been h...

Re: RIP Lowell Brown
Rest in Peace Lowell,
We've met several times through the years in Monterey, and corresponded often. Good guy.

Re: Vintage Style Battery Manufacturers
Thank you Kerry for the guidance on Safa battery being correct for my car and thank you Tom for recommending Napa batteries -- would not have thought to use Napa, but their batteries had the best performance and vintage look. I added some wrap to give the battery case a bit of a vintage look. I wou...

Re: Exhaust originality is an interesting topic
Tom, I think saying the ANSA exhaust is incorrect is interesting, as after all it was a genuine replacement exhaust and there must have been a Ferrari that went down the assembly line and got the ANSA exhaust while the previous car got the Abarth exhaust as the factory ran out of stock/supply. We s...

Re: Vintage Style Battery Manufacturers
Hi All, I've given up on ordering the AGM batteries because of the long lead time. They also don't seem to answer their phone, so it doesn't inspire much confidence. I've gone to NAPA lead acid batteries that the stickers easily come off the case to reveal a plain black case and a flat area on the s...

Re: 330GT frozen front suspension
I have found the proper tool to compress the front springs without too much danger. I will try to photograph it for you by the end of the week. There is a slight chance that once the spring is removed, you can try exercising the suspension to free up the binding. The orignal bushings were made of a ...

Re: Screws during the paint job
Here's a picture of SN 2259, which I photographed as it was parked in 1967.

I have higher resolution pictures, but the bolts on the hinges are body color, and I believe the gas filler are the same. Tom

Re: Red rubber protection hose
Yes, the red hose is correct for GTEs to protect the yellow fuel hose.

Re: Factory Ferrari visit tips needed
We will be in Paris for my MIL's 90th Birthday, and we are headed to Florence afterwards, so I have arranged a visit to the Factory for a tour. My question is to those who have done this before: anything special in Maranello to do while there? Is it possible to see build documents of my '67 330GT, ...

Re: 365 GTC/4 US emission equipment power loss
Hi Kristian,
With all the variables from states of tune to overall health of an engine, it will be hard to determine how much of it is really the effect of the emissions unless you have two identical rebuilt engines, but one with US specs, and one with European spec.
