Informatively, Verell eMAIL from buy coordinator------------------------------ From: "Daniel Ramos" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Subject: [Ferrari] ES 308, 328, Mondial Bushings Group Buy LATEST NEWS Date: Sat, 23 Feb 2002 12:46:51 -0500 I have a question for all of you: Have you ever heard of the "Snowball Effect?" This is what this project has turned into. Not that I would balk at all the great information that I have learned. Heck, I'm a freaking graphite-impregnated polyurethane Ferrari expert!  Let's backtrack to yesterday (deadline for the ES order): I'm getting ready to call the Energy Suspension salesman with our order (BTW, we hit our minimum!), when I decided to call our very own Brian Keegan and ask him a question. The conversation that ensued (sorry I kept you for so long on a Friday at closing, Brian!) made me call ES and ask them to give us more time. In a nutshell, here's what we discovered: The quick and dirty (executive summary): The ES bushings we ordered will also fit the Mondial T, 348 and Testarossa. However, I need to call ES on Monday and talk to their engineers to see if they have a couple of bushings that are non-standard. That's the "nutshell" and I would like to know if this is even worth pursuing. If any Mondial T, 348 or TR owner is interested in getting poly bushings for their car please let me know ASAP so I can continue on this path. The detailed (geek version): The following are stock P/N's and quantities: P/N(quantity) Location Fits 154537 (8) Front inner C.A Mondial T, 348, TR 154537 (8) Rear upper C.A Mondial T, 348 154536 (8) Rear upper C.A TR 154539 (8) Lower inner rear C.A. Mondial T, 348, TR 154538 (8) Lower outer rear C.A Mondial T, 348, TR Note: P/N 154536 and 154537 have the same ID and OD as ES P/N 13.3101 but vary in length. P/N 154538 and 154539 have the same ID and OD as ES P/N 13.3102 but vary in length. The length of these units is what I will check with the engineers at ES to see if they have a matching part. So, with all of that being said, are there any Mondial T, 348 or TR owners that wish to jump in on this group buy? Please let me know ASAP. Send your replies to my home email (this one) and cc my work ([email protected]) I'm not guaranteeing that they will accommodate us, because they may well want a minimum for just those parts, but at least if there is some interest among us I can bargain to get a few sets made. It's worth a shot. Thanks, Dan ....I'm not getting paid enough to do all this...wait a minute; I'm doing it for free! ;) |
