Re: PF Coupe and Cabriolet belly pans

Unfortunately the photos seem not to be available anymore. Does someone have a photo of a front belly pan for a 250 Gte late S3?
I need to find or fabricate one. Thanks a lot!

Ferrari 250 Gte Dash vent flaps

Dear all,

how does the knob under the dash to operate the dash vent flaps look like on a 250 Gte S3? On mine both are missing. Is there a source for obtaining them? I have a rough idea out of the Pininfarina body parts book.

Thanks a lot.

Re: Tell me about the old days!

Dear Tom, I am 50 so will not be able to speak about the time you mention as good old days. I do all my restoration work on my own. For me things started out somehow as with John. I started working on old stuff when I was 15. My first object of desire was a Honda Dax St70 which I got in exchange for...

Re: Isolation material

Hello Martin,

I fully agree and see no issues using modern stuff
as long as one can not see it. I would recommend to speak to Mr. Krecht from Isoproq. He has lots of experience, lots of different materials and can send you samples.

Ferrari 250 Gte Front suspension king pin

Dear all,

I would like to ask you for a favour.

I would like to hard chrome and grind my old kingpins. Could you give me the measurements/ exact diameter of the king pin shaft at the location where the needle rollers run?

That would be very nice of you.

Thanks

Hi Tom,

I have pictures of your trunk with the nice suitcases :-) from Minterey.

So red in the trunk was original.

It would be great to see a picture of an original toe mat. Thanks

Dear All, I do have some questions you might be able to answer with your experience: 1.) What would be the color of the boot carpet for a 250 Gte with red interior carpet? Would it be also red or black? 2.) Would it have driver and passenger toe heel pads? What color and material would these be? Is ...
