Lower rocker panel /sill trim for 250 GTE

Does anybody know a source where to get a good replacement for the lower rocker panel / sill trim? It is made from alloy and fixed with hidden screws that slide in a rail on the underside. A replacement from stainless steel would also be acceptable as this trim is finished in black semi mat varnish.

plating of screws

Hello, the screws at my doors (see picture / screws 16 - 20) seem to be chromed. The same type of screws are used at other positions than the 2 doors and are cadmium plated there. The question is whether these visible screws at the doors have been chromed originally from the factory or if one pre-ow...

Screws during the paint job

Does anybody know whether the screws for trunk lid, engine hood and fuel filler flap are originally covered with the paint from the paint job or are these black oxide? My assumption is that the engine hood was removed from the Ferrari factory after receiving the body from Pininfarina for better acce...

Re: Red rubber protection hose

Yes this is most likely factory fitted. This red hose shows spatters of black undercoating and looks 1960‘s throughout. It would be helpful if others with knowingly original GTEs could inform about their red hoses.

Re: Chrome bumber iron covers 250, 330…..??

Hello Chris,

can‘t particularly answer your questions, but mine from a series II GTE (#3631) look different in size and shape for both, front and rear bumpers. See pictures attached. I am looking to either restore these ore find some in better condition for a reasonable price.

Best regards,

Martin

Re: letters on heater fan - 250 GTE Series II

I found the solution in an Alfa forum as these cars also used Becme fan motors. The second stamp shows the date of production! In case of my car 4 for April makes sense according to the production date of #3631 and the missing 2 digits obviously are 62. When looking thoroughly at my fan housing you ...
