GTC suspension removal advice needed.
I am restoring my 330 GTC suspension, I have hit a snag removing the left front upper “A” arm. I can not remove the front pivot bolt, the steering box interferes with it slipping out. Is there a secret to getting this bolt out? It appears that the steering box needs to be disconnected from the shaft...

Re: Ferrari 250 Gte Accelerator kick plate
These are available for the 330 GTC as a reference, and maybe they are the same as the 250?

Re: Driving the wheels off, really!
The remaining bolts had no lock washers but the nuts were still staked on, albeit quite loose.
I will check out the other wheels next week as I already took them off and put my Borannis on for now.

Re: Driving the wheels off, really!
Those thinned out bolts must have been machining themselves by spinning and vibrating on the steel splined hub. Of course five of the bolt ends and nuts were MIA, The lesson is never ignore the slightest noise or anomaly, I though it was going to be a bad half-shaft U joint. Happy new year to all! T...

Re: Driving the wheels off, really!
The wheel was really loose when I jacked it up and wiggled.

Driving the wheels off, really!
Check out the wheel failure I just discovered on a Campagnolo wheel. The symptoms were a subtle clunk and high frequency rumble. Check out the elongated hole wear and the three worn bolts ready to snap off like the other 5. CBB00923-D392-4B91-BA5F-3AC4DA1C2854.jpeg 2A53ADE8-75F5-403D-9BA9-E590B8780E...

Re: 330 Sunvisors - ur blog
The Porsche 356 uses heat sealed textured sun visors too, there have been high quality repo ones available for some time. Perhaps researching the source for Porsche would yield something.
Here is well know Porsche supplier:

wiper motor source
Hello all, I am looking for a source to buy a windshield wiper motor or have mine expertly rebuilt. I think my cross-reference is for the GTE. There is a guy in Delaware on Ebay, who advertises rebuilds. Has anyone had theirs rebuilt by this shop? I have already reworked mine once, but a recent fail...

Re: Hood badge ID please
This is follow-up to my hood badge question. I had an opportunity a few weeks ago to take a photo of an interim 330gt badge, notice the curve. This car is probably unrestored as it's been off the road for 45 years! please don't ask me for the serial number or location, as I don't have the owners per...

Re: Driving the White Car
Hey, Tom this is good news, now drive the heck out of it. Although my car is not as nice as yours, I reached the "get-in-and-drive" point late last year. Now that my engine is broken in and producing great power, I pour it on as often as possible, it runs better after a few visits to 6,500 rpm. I ho...

Re: Hood badge ID please
A GTC uses a flat badge.
Maybe someone can look at their car and report: curved or flat? and what car.
It is a nice badge, I’d like to get it into the right hands.

Re: Hood badge ID please
Thank you, yes the 1960 looks the closest. What about the curved back?
