Re: Ferrari 365 GTC/4 Rear suspension self levelling
Hi Chris, Chances are the load levelers have failed. I can't recall if the original load levelers had a schrader valve on the top as you pictured, but I'm pretty sure if you try to add air, it may be more air pressure than what you can add at home. I've heard so many stories about people rebuilding ...

Re: Tips & Tricks for the paintjob
also, the underside of the hood is painted semigloss black, but is closer to mat than gloss. That holds true for much of the semigloss black on the car.

Re: Tips & Tricks for the paintjob
Semi gloss black on the inside of the trunk too. Inside of the fuel filler door is body color.

Re: Who repairs Vegilia clocks; have one for sale?
George is looking for a clock to fit in a 330GTC, Cornelis' clock is for 250 cars and won't fit the 330GTC. The GTC has a chrome ring and plastic hood. They came in 330GT 2+2s as well.

Re: Walt Merlin’s auction
I met Walter Medlin years ago and it's a good story. The stories about his collection of cars in Orlando and how the hurricane blew the roof off his building exposing his secret collection was legend, and I wanted to meet him in person. His brother was in touch with me through the website and shared...

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: 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...
