Tom:

Had a similar problem on my Cab, which turned out to be a sticking piston seal in the master cylinder. In my case, it was the rear brakes which were affected. Best of luck, and props to you for your perseverance in getting your car to the event.

I wish the pics on the TinMan page were cliackable - I'd like to see the one of the repaired rocker area enlarged. It looks as though a lot of work went into that alone. Wonder what the bill was?

Metric & Multistandard has what we need in stainless (screws and cup washers both) and although a box of a hundred is more than we need, the cost won't break the bank.

Just a public reminder to the esteemed Mr. Yang that he has owed this community an explanation of this process from Francois for (ahem) some years now.

Count me in, as always..

An adapter of the sort you have sketched is most definitely required.

It's a third series car from the placement of the fog lights in the bodywork, but with the incorrect (like it matters) first/second series taillights. Not sure if that stain on the ground is from a little simple overheating or from some real vintage Ferrari fan who lost his midday beverage when he s...

Always a nice party, but it even seemed a little more lightly attended this year, as did many of the events. Brother Brent was definitely missed. And in the picture above, I'm not so much under the weather, but rather, wondering when Mr. Yang is going to take a breath so I can OPEN that bottle of Sy...

Metric & Multistandard Corp. is also a good supplier for not only trim screws, but the proper fasteners and washers for a lot of applications on classic Ferraris as well.

And what's with that throwaway line: "..cahn't make it, chaps - Goodwood, you know.."? So are you going, prepping customer cars or just being aristocratic? What's next, a briar pipe, tweed cap and string-back driving gloves?

Wow. Ten minutes after looking up the sale results, I'm still trying to get my mouth to stay closed. A very nice SII Cab sold at the same sale for 550.000 Euro, which seems to be equivalent to $880,000, and I don't know if this includes buyer's premium. It's also a USA-titled car, which means that i...

All the SII cabs had Laycock overdrive on the gearbox, confirmed in the history articles on the model written by both Gerald Roush and Jeff Rowe some years ago. May we have a bit more detail regarding why you're asking?

Tom is right - the front springs are easier in some ways than the rears. It takes some experimentation with external spring compressors to get ones that will work in the narrow confines available, as well as the close coil spacing. I've used those, plus a floor jack under the spring bucket and a cha...

The top and bottom plates should be a semi-gloss black, with the grille portion a dull nickel plate. Wrinkle finish is right out.
