Looking for electric motor heat detectors...

Once the car is finished these are not visible right?

So why not look for a modern suitable replacement instead.

I assume these are thermal circuit interrupters to protect the motors and or prevent a fire?

There also might be a more modern way to accomplish this.

 

These are circuit breakers designed to temporarily cut supply to the electric motor if the current gets too high. Many times while raising the window the motor has to work a bit harder than designed. This breaker prevents the motor from overheating or the fuses from constantly burning.

Modern circuit breaker equivalents are readily available at most auto parts. They look like this: 50A 12v Auto Automatic Fuse Reset Circuit Breaker Copper Stud Bolt Type 50 Amp | eBay

To determine which Amp rating to get: first look up the fuse rating for the window lifts (it will be listed in the owner's manual). Then measure the normal operating amperage of the motor, especially while the window is going up. Let's say the fuse rating is 30 Amps and the motor normally uses 10 amps to raise the window, then I would get a 20 amp circuit breaker.

Hello, I called Ake at AMK in Stockholm to see if he had these, and he said yes, but only to put on cars they had in for service. Phone: +46 8-715 67 12 They do restoration of classic Maseratis and has always 5-10 cars in their shop. Also dismanteled cars for breaking in the back yard... He is a very knowledgable person who have been a Maserati maniac for 30+ years. Were the official Ferrari body repair shop in the 90-ies, and has the right spirit with open house every saturday where the old guys drink coffee and look at old Maseratis... What kind of Massrati do you have in Monaco? I saw a gold metallic Quattroporte series I this winter. THAT was really hot in town!! Here is my car which I plan to keep in Nice/Monaco area. Cheers!

Wow! Sounds interesting. Any picture of it?

 

I love the first and secon Ghibli. The third is not too bad either, but should never have had that name as it is not a two door car...
