Re: Securing plate for droop stop rubber

Yes, they go on the GTE as well. It's the same part and size as for the 330. I just purchased a pair from Ciccogiani (sp?) I had to trim a little of the bevel off to get the part to squeeze into the hole where it mounts. Your GTE should also have the welded steel bar (#41) that the bumper rests on. ...

Re: Plug wire installation

Hi Rob, The 330 tubes are usually easier than the 250 tubes. Like everyone says, use silicone spray. Start with the longest run first. I sometimes cut a beveled point on the end that's getting pushed through. I save the grommets for last after the wires are run. Don't forget to label the ends to sav...

Re: 330 GT headlamp/rings and gasket - series II

Hi Ed, This is just my opinion, so take it on face value. I can't speak for the judges of the FCA and what they're ruling. I feel there should be a gasket between the chrome ring and the body work like your version 2. These cars are pininfarina built cars, and probably are the same for GTC, GTS, and...

Re: Ferrari 330GT, long unpainted weld

This is the back side of the inner fender looking up inside the wheel well. I saw that area too when I shined a light up under there and applied some primer and undercoating to the untreated steel. A lot of the "unseen" welds like these were pretty rough on these old Ferraris!

Re: 330 GT/GTC/GTS Headlamp rings

Hi Ed, I know that GTC/GTS headlight rings are slightly larger than the 330GT 2+2s, so be careful which ones are being reproduced. The 2+2 rings will fit the GTC/GTS, but they will not fill the whole headlight opening flush with the body work. I have seen a lot of GTCs with 330GT 2+2 headlight rings...

Re: Fuse board junction/terminal/connector

Jimmyr - I’m going to replace one that melted. Top picture in this thread shows what needs replacing. Luckily the connection still works fine, but I want to replace it with a new terminal block. And thanks to Michael, I’ll be able to replace it with a terminal strip/block that should be a perfect m...

Re: Weber DCZ6 accelerator pumps

I just had a 365GTC/4 come into my shop that wasn't starting. The fuel flow was fine, but what I eventually found out was almost all the needles at the inlet floats were stuck in the closed position. No fuel was being allowed into bowls at all. The combination of ethanol fuel, and what I believe was...

Re: Chrome plating

It's always a collaboration between me and the platers when replating parts. He does a good job about wrapping the threads, but we have to make sure they're wrapped even before the stripping when it comes to the threads. I've also had too much plating put on the locks where they won't slide back tog...

Re: 330GT SII dunlop caliper rebuild or replace

Hi Michael, I've seen billet Stainless steel pistons used in place of the original dunlop pistons, and I would imagine they work the same as the original design with the lucas seals. The billet stainless pieces shouldn't corrode and will only need new seals if there is a problem. That being said, if...

Re: Ptoblems with seals for front and rear screens

Hi Martin, Everything changes through the years. If you had the chrome trim replated, there is always a chance that it can change in shape slightly through the polishing process. I think the Cicognani are extrusions, but the dies can change over time. The window opening can also affect the fit. Kerr...

Any metal polishing company can polish the rims, or you can do them yourself! Wear gloves and a mask!
