Re: picture of under pan needed

Jeeeez guy's, that's another missing part I never knew I was missing!
As I cross off an item on the top of my "things I need to find, make or replace" I add 2 more onto the bottom. :-)

Re: 330GT 2+2 Grille

Those of you following the thread may want to know how I’m getting on with the CAD drawings for the grille. Well, all the vertical parts are drawn and the horizontals are in progress. It’s been a real learning curve with the monotony of imputing X & Y co-ordinates only to find some tiny error that c...

Re: 330GT 2+2 Bodyshell Rebuild

Update, I finished the new centre tunnel a couple of weeks ago and added a doubler plate over the seatbelt point as per the original. Next I cut a horseshoe shaped section of steel to make up the gap between the seats where the original tunnel had been ripped out of the car. I had to trim back about...

Re: New Project

Has anybody put a 330gt on a rotisserie Hi Rob, I'm looking to do exactly this with my 330. I'm working on a plan to make something. Whilst working on my car I can rule out using the bumper iron tubes for support as they are not the strongest to take the weight of the car. The jacking tubes are goo...

Re: need brake part

I may be mistaken, but I think it might be the same as an MGA twin cam.

Try these guys.

Re: [SEARCH] Parts needed

You can also try GTO engineering in UK, they had a couple of 250GTE's in for breaking when I visited last year.

Re: [SEARCH] Parts needed

Hi Marcus,

I'd just get the chrome stripped off at your local platers, dress out the dents and get it re-chromed. You could do it for about £10 if they put it in with another job. Don't take any minimum charge nonsense, I haven't met a plating company that run the process tank for just one item.

Re: 330GT 2+2 Bodyshell Rebuild

I got sent an email last night. The tunnel steel in a 330 is 19 gauge which is 0.912mm. That’s why they double up the steel over the seatbelt mounting point to avoid the mounting point pulling through the tunnel itself. So it looks like my 1.6mm tunnel is actually over engineered after all! Here’s a...

Re: 330GT 2+2 Bodyshell Rebuild

Hi Cory,

The "Hoop" is not folded material, it's not part of the tunnel sheet steel itself.

It's a seperate piece of much, much thicker steel that's been welded into the tunnel. That's why your thinking the tunnel steel is much thicker than it actually is.

Re: 330GT 2+2 Bodyshell Rebuild

Thanks Cornelis, I think we're all getting a little confused here. The tunnel is NOT the same thickness as the chassis tubes. Its much much thinner, and serves very little purpose in the strength department. Cory, measure your tunnel again, it can't be 3.3mm? It has a hoop welded into each end (see ...

Re: 330GT 2+2 Bodyshell Rebuild

C,

It's 16 gauge steel, thats about 1.65mm. As far as I understand, thats what thickness the original is.

Thanks

Re: 330GT 2+2 Bodyshell Rebuild

Following the great information and photos from Cory, I was able to make a template for the missing centre tunnel. I’d been working in a warehouse in the dockyard last week and some machinery came in with a thin plastic corrugated packing sheet either side of it. After seeing this go in the bin I as...
