Re: refurbishment of Alu strips on rocker rails
Hello Tom, do you sand blast them softly and sand them with paper afterwards? I think sand blasting them first would make it easier to get rid of the hard anodized surface. After that saning with paper and polishing with the machine to high gloss finish before anodizing - is this the way? Regards, M...

Re: light knob removal
Hello all, Thank you very much for the information. I tried to upload the picture but it does not work. Around the knob there is a green plastic ring which obviously should light when lights are turned on - unfortunately it does not now. It has the pull/turn mechanism. My car is 250@GTE #3631. I am ...

light knob removal
Hi,
does anybody know how to remove the black plastic knob of the light switch? I removed the little grub screw but the know resists any attempt to get it off. What does the intake of the plastic knob look like? Is it a screw or just a bolt? Is there a special trick or something?
regards, Martin

Indicator switch - automatic return?
At my 250 GTE the lever for the indicator does not return automatically to the neutral position after I finished the turn of the steering wheel. Is this normal/standard or does my indicator switch need repair?

Spare parts catalogue
Hi,
I was offered a spare parts catalogue for bodyparts (Eur 145.00) and a parts book (Eur 135.00) for my 250 GTE. Does anybody know whether this is something that can be downloaded somewhere or is this of additional value to all the free downloads available?

My car has the same chamber for gear box and overdrive, so there is only one refill plug. The plug screw looks the same like the ones at the differential. Shouldn´d t...
