Re: Pedal box disassembly

Hello John, thank you for your help. Have removed all parts already, it is just that the shaft of the clutch sits so tight in the cone that I can‘t remove it without force. Did you use a pull-off tool or how could you pull out part no 5 of your drawing? The explosion drawing is very helpful, out of ...

Pedal box disassembly

Hello,

does anybody know how to disassemble the pedal box of a 250 GTE? I have opened up the screws of the cone but can‘t remove it. The ball bearings are pressed in obviously - how can I take all parts appart without destroying the soft aluminium parts?

Thank you and best regards,

Martin

Re: 250 Gte vent in drivers footwell

Last message - I promise :)

Chris texted me that I probably misunderstood Tom´s question - the vent covers in the foot panels left & right have the same colour like the one under the dashboard at the driver side.

cheers, Martin

Re: 250 Gte vent in drivers footwell

One more thing about the leather: it is the original leather - has all the stamps and marks on the back side, but was restored and recoloured by me. The colour is very close to the original but the look of course is rather new now. You can see the exact difference at the foto attached as the seats h...

Re: 250 Gte vent in drivers footwell

Hello Tom, both is new: I bought a new carpet from "world upholstery & trim". The type is called "Wilton Navy" and matched the most to the original. How do I know? My car is very original throughout and I found several sections of carpet which looked very much factory fitted such as the ones around ...

FRAM oil filter - worst in quality test

Hello guys, I guess most if you use FRAM oil filters for our 12 cylinders. Keeping in mind the value of our cars I guess none of us would be thrifty and we look for the best oil filters available. In fact I always thought this would be the FRAM, but if you watch this video you know better - this is ...
