Heater knobs replacement 355

Can the 3 dials be replaced ??

If so does anyone know the part numbers or are they the same as another italian car ?

 

I would think so, but you know how Ferrari is--may have to buy the whole unit. There are plenty of cars out there being parted out for small parts like that. If you choose new--send Daniel a message-- www.ricambiamerica.com

 

From what I have read here, the knobs are only available with the entire control panel for over $1000+.

I see at Eugenio's that he claims to be able to rebuild the control panel, and has parts.

Worth trying to contact him, let us know what he says.

 

No... unfortunately the knobs are not available as spares from Ferrari.

 

Are they broke or cracked?? Or just sticky??

 

just really sticky and i tried cleaning them but still no good, strange thing is the actual hvac panel is ok
it's just the 3 dials

i'll try Eugenio's and see what he says

was thinking about trying to cover them in something like carbon fibre film or paint them with some sort
of sealer paint......not sure what paint though......thoughts please

 

There has been many guys on here who have cleaned up those sticky parts and re-painted them with great success---Do a search on 355 sticky pieces/parts/console, etc...

 

+1 the knobs can be cleaned and even refinished like Robbie said .

I cleaned mine with alcohol and lots of rags, I did not 'repaint' them because they looked so good with just the cleaning .

 

I did this also, with excellent results.

 

Let me know if you can clean them up or you need a set...I have a line on a set...

 

cleaned mine up- but maybe a new set would be even better and a new ashtray
where can one score these a good deal?

 

The ashtray can be bought new for $$$$, the knobs cannot be bought. Your only option is to strip the old sticky mess, prep them and repaint---the ashtray can be refinished very nicely also. I have refinished 21 HVAC boxes and/or sets of knobs for guys all over the world --

 

The knobs don't exist as new items. They are only available with the complete HVAC unit. Contact Robbie285 -- he is an expert at cleaning them up.

 

^^^ dayum... good timing.

 

After some great advice from past postings, I did redo the entire center console. The HVAC knobs were in bad shape but I did repaint them and with a new cover from Ricambi, looks like new!

 

Great job !!! I cleaned mine up and did the ricambi cover too...... !
