    Anyone out there know were I can get a power steering tank cap for an early 355. Mine has gone soft and it wont do up tight any more. I have even had it pop off on track days. Not Good.They changed this this power steering tank on the later ones probally due to this problem. Maybe some one knows of a substitue cap be used instead of a genuine Ferrari one. I asked the local dealer and they tell me they can only get the complete tank with cap and it will be the new style not the one that my car came out with. Cheers JOW02

    You need to buy the updated unit. Ricambi has it. I bought the updated unit after my cap blew off throwing fluid all over the engine bay. It happen to me on a track day as well.

    I had this problem of a soft cap. I just dropped a viagra tablet into the bottle replaced the cap, and all was well again after a few minutes :)
