Paul, thanks again for dropping me the line about this treat. The front spacers I have are 15mm and they just have longer lugs that came with the spacers, which reminds me I still have the originals.... The rear are bolt ons. They basically come with lugs to fit the spacer onto the wheel thingy (whatever that is called) You have to retighten them after a few miles. They come lose. I bought the kit from Koenig in Germany and was very happy with them. I also have spcers on my 355 and they make the car look better as well. Have to check to see what size they are but believe it is 15mm front and 20mm rear. | ||

Jeff � It was truly a pleasure!  � Have posted the link for the shifter adjustment on the other thread. Martin, Jeff and I were talking about your car, regarding the spacers (We both agreed they make the stance of the car look amazing!) � I believe you have the 30mm ones on the back and the 20 mm ones on the front. What type of bolts did they use to bolt the spacer onto the rear hub? � Are the fronts the same or do they use longer bolts and a plain spacer? The steering wheel spacer on my 348 (see picture) brings the wheel an inch closer to the driver. I started making these for a couple of Ferrari shops here in the UK and decided to produce an illustrated fitting guide. I was going to take it back off again once I had taken the pictures, but I liked it so much I left it on! � They are available in plain aluminium or black, according to preference. Byron, Don�t hesitate to drop me an email if you plan to visit London in the future! Paul  | ||

Paul's car is a LHD. I felt quite at home on the "normal" side. Speaking of steering wheels, his has a spacer to move it aft about 3/4 inch. I liked it so much, I'm having him make me one! | ||

I had the pleasure of meeting Paul Hill while I was in London on business this past weekend. He is truly a gentleman. He personally delivered a set of aluminum pedals to me for my 348 and was kind enough to spend the afternoon with me in Cambridge. I had the chance to share a nice ride with him in his beautiful 348TS and then tilt a few pints over lunch. Thanks Paul! |
