was someone looking for the rubber seal on top of the GTS windscreen?

Ouch!

 

Probably comes in a yellow box with little black horses on it.

 

This is what makes owning an older ferrari a mixed bag....

Personally, I (perhaps unfortunately) don't possess the nerve to ask someone to pay me $1,000 for a little bit of foam rubber. But, that's just me.

 

I think that link came up before and it was noted to be the wrong seal..

 

And helluva wrong price

 

The front seal is 60607900. The photos in that auction show the rear targa/door seal, which is readily available. The front one is NLA and very hard to find; I paid $600 for mine earlier this year.

FWIW you should definitely search for that seller's name on Fchat before dropping large $$ with him.

Looks like a job for Verell. Molding foam rubber isn't that complicated. And, I would that that for $500+ a piece that might just be "economically feasible" to produce......

 

$489.50 at Italian Car Parts

 

For a part that he does not have and has not had for a long time.


I'll make you a great deal on all sorts of parts I don't have.

 

That part is. Daniel tried exhaustively and came up empty. It is a more complex piece to make than most understand.

 

You could try World Upholstery, they used to be able to order from the Italian fabricator

No idea on cost but its probably worth an email

I didn't know that. Just trying to be helpful

 

That is the right front seal for an older 308. My '78 has one that looks identical to that with the corners molded together with the front door rubber.

I think it was on the later cars the they were separated. Not sure if the two are interchangeable or not??

 

Oh, and I paid about $350 for mine a few years back and it was hard to find then!!

 

Have had that happen with them more than once.

So what don't you have that I need??

 

I could use one but I am not that desperate. Way to pricy, but thanks.

 

Do you have some direct knowledge of molding foam rubber?
I haven't been able to find any info on doing it on a small scale, just big heated metal molds with controlled injection of inert gasses along with the rubber. Great for Detroit, but not for running off a few pieces at a time.

I'd be willing to make them If i could get enough info on mold construction, & rubber materials to get me started.

 

Daniel and I spoke about this a while back.

My research showed one has to REALLY want that part to justify the mold and production cost's to make what...... 10-20 pieces? You can even justify heating up the molds to run less than that and 1/2 of them would collect dust on a shelf for years before the next batch is needed.

Hard to find, nope. Impossible to find.... maybe on a dare.
