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. http://emelbon.tripod.com/eugeniosferrariservice.html/italian.htm Worth trying to contact him, let us know what he says.
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 .
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.
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!
