Dino NOS components found in common with other Marques

Dino ignition (key) switch is same as BMW 2002.

As mentioned in another thread, Dino rear ATE calipers with hand-brake mechanism same as Porsche 914-6 rear.

Here's a repost of "another thread:"

On that note, Keith, Pelican Parts (.com) is an online supplier of Bimmer and Porsche parts. They also have some good tech articles. I recently purchased 4 CV boot kits (930 Porsche p/n 928 332 924 02) for $11.75 each, plus 7-8 bucks for shipping. They are GKN/Lobro parts. If you need the CV joint (also for a 930 p/n 930 332 034 00), Pelican stocks the GKN/Lobro part for $83.25.

As for ATE brakes, they can help us there, too. They stock the blue or gold ATE fluid, new front calipers, front caliper kits, Speed-Bleeder valves, various bleeder kits, hoses (don't know if they are the right length for our cars), etc. My understanding is that the calipers for the 246 & 308 are the same as those on 911 & 914 Porsches. The fronts are 911SC ("A" caliper) & rears are 914-6.

914-6 brakes - Unfortunately, their 914-6 rear brake components are no longer available. However, Dorman makes a kit (D-93342) for $14.95 & Tru Torque has a
kit, same p/n, for $13.99. Try to order these at partsamerica.com or at the local Kragen/O'Reilly, Schuck's, Murray's parts store. NAPA Online also lists a kit (UP 532) for $13.49. (Catalog doesn't differentiate between 914-4 & -6. Make sure the kit fits 42mm piston.)

At any rate, the folks at Pelican Parts are very knowledgeable & helpful, and the pricing seems quite reasonable. I ordered my boots on a Thursday, mid-day, with an estimated delivery of 3-4 business days. They arrived the very next day via FedEx! Wow, one day service!

I learned about the brake & CV commonality from our friends over on the 3x8 Forum. There's some good stuff over there, including a tutorial on R&R of CVs. They also mentioned Pelican Parts for the source.

I'm just a home mechanic; I'm definitely not an expert. If any of you out there have different info, please let me/us know.

US SPEC Front turn signal lens the same as Alfa 1750 GTV from same era. They can be had at IAP for maybe $30-40 each.

 

My 74 Alfa Romeo GTV had the exact cigarette lighter as in my 73 Dino. I seem to also recall it had the same hood release handle.
Sorry I can't be more specific, it was a long time ago. I would assume there are quite a few more parts that would interchange.
Great thread.

 

After a rock took out one of my very, very expensive Carello headlights, Dave M (aka DM n stuff) turned me onto the cheap GE, Wagner, etc replacements
H6014
I think H6024 also work.

Dave has moved on though...

 

Actually, on the US spec cars, Westinghouse or Wagner were OE. Westinghouse is discontinued, they sold their headlight business to Phillips a number of years ago and they are only available as NOS.

I have a set of Westinghouse 6012 (might be 6014) bulbs if anyone is interested. But, if you keep your eyes open, you can grab them on ebayt for $3-4 each on a pretty regular basis.
