Here's one I saw on an Aurelia that was done very nicely. Unfortunately, I wasn't able talk to the owner so I could see how it was made.

Re: Rear gearbox shaft seal
Chris, once you get the prop-shaft out of the way, you can remove the large castle nut and then the flange will pull out. The seal can then be replaced. It seems to me you may not need to undo the prop-shaft a the axle end, but Tom can cofirm this.

Fred, here are a few that I know of; maybe others can chime in with more resources. But, also there are some knowlededgeable people here, like our own Dyke Ridgely and Tom Yang that can help with particular issues, etc. 1) FERRARI: Operating, Maintenance and Service Handbooks, By Richard F.

Re: 330GT Front suspension
The intended way I mentioned above is certainly the most elegant way, but I have to say, it didn't work for me. I put the corner on a jack stand, like in the first picture. Then I loosened the large nut at the top just a turn or so. A couple of dull blows to the upper pivot, along with the help of t...

Re: 330GT Front suspension
Keith, theoretically, you should be able to lift the car's weight with a jack from the round plate at the bottom of the spring cup, then remove the circlip that is retaining the round plate. Then you put a jack-stand under the car an lower the jack and the plate and the spring slide out from the bot...

Re: Fan belt sleeve
Mel, please disregard my previous picture and consider these. The upper one is 9.5x950mm and it's the one that Parker supplied. The lower one is 10x960mm and it came in my Lusso tool bag. It looks quite old. Mine has an alternator. Sometime in early 1964 Ferrari stopped using dynamos, so the earlier...

Re: Fan belt sleeve
Chris, in car shows, this is what you see in the tool kit of the outside plug 250GT cars.

Re: Door lock cylinder with key for 250 Gto Giordanengo
Hi Chris, the push button in your pictures is similar to those on other PF bodied cars. Scaglietti push buttons look a little different. You might try Suzie Pilkington: suziepilk@gmail.com

Re: Fan belt sleeve
Chris, this is a picture of the fan belt that Parker used to supply for the outside plug, dynamo equipped 3.0L motors. It's 1000x10mm.

Yes, it happened to me yesterday on the initial try, but not the second time. Today no problem.

Re: Yellow Hoses Locations / lengths
Rob, I looked at some pictures of engine bays on the web for 330GT's without the secondary filter (at the bulkhead). The arrangement looks similar to my car's. My car is a 250GT/L. I failed to save the lengths when I was making these lines, but I can tell you that the distance between the coils is e...

Re: Valve Stem Protectors
Martin, I did not, because I made them one at a time to fit that particular wheel. I wanted a nice seating where the cut met the wheel, with no gaps and no black innertube showing. The knurled thumb screws are all the same, I but the cups may vary slightly. Here are the reject cups I made; the short...

Re: Valve Stem Protectors
Martin, here are a couple of pictures. One is Parker Hall's photo showing the measurements of an original valve protector and a piece of an original Pirelli innertube. However, you are going to learn that this is too short for today's innertube stems. The other photo is my wheel, showing a somewhat ...

Re: 2 alloy tubes under the oil filler plug?!
Thank you for this, Dyke. It makes sense that these should be pinned down at the ends. Thanks again for the pictures.
