Miscellaneous Interior Part Inquiry

Enzo wasn't afraid to use off the shelf items from other manufacturers. Maybe I'm all wet but this has always looked like a Chrysler part to me, are there any numbers on it?

 

It is a Fiat part, 131 or 132 from late '70's or early '80's. I've seen pictures of them; they are a 4-door sedan. I thought I saw a Jag with one similar but all of the Jag auto's are similar but curved outward. I hunted high and low and this is best I came up with.

Some of our Euro members may be able to track one down.

Good call Ken. Sure looks like a Fiat 131 Automatic part. Here is a picture...

Keep in mind that there were various versions of the 131, some with different interior setups.

Then again, it could also be a Fiat 130. And again, I see various versions depending on year of 130.

And wow..here is a Fiat 132 interior. Man, I think finding a 132, 131 or 130 would be just as hard as someone parting a 400/400i/412. hah..

Just to confirm, it's identical as used for a Fiat 130

 

My shift gate it was like your. I did make letters adhesive, sanded the part where they were like and your stuck on it. The result is not exceptional but it suits a bit.

Good job!


Guys, guys, you're killin' me over here
I'd refer to it more like a shifter cover or cover plate
Now here's a shift gate:

I have used a hobbyist's "chrome" film to restore some bezels in the past. It looks nice but doesn't stand up to abrasion too well. Perhaps a coat of lacquer over it would help this.

Wow bord...that looks great. I'd almost keep the all black and not worry about the chrome.

 

I have an appointment with a brush manufacturer tomorrow to redo the hair (of my shift gate, of course! But, why not...)
Your attention is necessary because the store where I'm going tomorrow there since 1814:

I would love to find a new / NOS / better replacement too!

 

If this company can provide you with replacement brushes please let us know the specific information so I/we can order the same brushes from them.

 

That would be great..

 

Hello everybody. It was I who did the restoration. I can do it for anyone who wants to, provided they pay for the products. For brushes it is necessary to count 20 $, for painting 15 $ and 15 $ for the figures (P RND 21) to paste. The labor is free, it is for the conservation of our 400. You can pay once the work is done.
You can write me at [email protected]

 

Chapeau bas, Théodore!!

 

Ce n'est que du plaisir (It's just fun, in in the language of shakespeare)

And for those who are reluctant to send the concerned party. I can send the brushes and the numbers. For do-it-yourselfers this is not very difficult. Simply sand the plastic well. Put two coats of black satin bomb paint. Sand the part that receives the numbers, paste them. Wait until the paint is dry. Glue the brushes.
Drink a good glass, eat a good piece of meat or tofu for vegetarian. Make a game of billiards.
Once the part is repaired and dry, replace it again.
Drink a good glass .....
