Matthias, if not a secret, how is that done? I certainly would like to do the same on the fuel filter canister, as the decal looks cheap and wrong. Regards, Alberto
there is an company here in Germany who can do it, I would need one too... next on my very long list... I would need a perfect example or label there differences between early and late Dinos price will be between approx. 60 to 80 Euros for one I would guess
OK, I understand, you sent it to the company that did it, right? It looks perfect...I guess we are going to have to learn how to do silk-screening here. I knew it would not be that easy Thank you anyway. Regards, Alberto
Hi, same technique used when printing T-shirts, a company who do this can for sure help with the silk, but paint is of course different. Ciao/ Bjorn
I've got the artwork for the fuel canister as well. I scanned one, cleaned it up electronically and then gave it to a local t-shirt printer to make so that they could print it on my canister. Unfortunately, the company who did the screen is gone and so is the screen. However, I can send anyone the artwork so that you can reproduce the screen locally. Cheers...Keith.
My apologies but I can't find the scanned and cleaned up artwork for the FISPA fuel filter canister. If Alberto or others do not have a version available, I'll remove mine, scan it, fuse it together in a single image and make it available. Unfortunately, I won't be able to get to it for a few weeks. My bad. ...Keith
Alberto many thanks for the scan. I did produce 25 rub-sticker. If you are interested please pm me (I keep 5 myself and Alberto gets 3) Cost per sticker Euro 25,- + shipping. First come first serve... You have to remove the backside and stick it with some tape onto the fuel filter housing. You take a blunt stick (e.g. backside of pencil) and rub it gently from the sticker onto the housing. It`s not easy but should be possible to do for everybody. I had no problems... (see pictures of the air filter housing further up in this thread) This FISPA print was on the fuel filter with 206 GT, L-Series and E-Series from #03678. (M-Series and early E-Series did not have this fuel filter originally installed) For late E-Series the might have been slightly different (see example picture) Can anybody confirm the second version on late E-Series? Regards Matthias pictures: 1) from Alberto #03724 (same on #00306, #00334, #01100) 2) reproduction rub-sticker 3) possible late E-Series print ?!

The word 'USARE' looks funny and I cannot make out if the accent is on the 'O' of PUO. Also, it is CARTUCCE , not GARTUCCE On your canister, the printing is slightly different, what series is it from? Never mind, I re read your post . I am clear.... Otherwise they look great. Can you post/send a closer look. I would like three. I am also looking for a fuel pump as the one in the photo. (Corona?) I remember we saw them in Padova. What is that condenser doing there? Regards, Alberto
BCD is the brand of the fuel pump, Corona & C is the manufacturer. Corona still exists, but the newer BCD pumps look like they were made by Pierburg. The condenser filters the voltage spikes generated by the pump (which would disturb radio reception) and it reduces the load on the internal breaker contacts.
PS. I would start a new thread on this fuel canister printing issue. As of next week we'll all have forgotten where it is...
Alberto spot on, USARE is L`SARE and the accent is on the 'O' of PUO is missing. My mistake, I will get that changed at my costs. Will take a week or so. CARTUCCE is displayed as CARTUCCE. I will do a new thread if that`s done. Regarding the other canister I don`t know where I got the picture from, but can be only late E-Series or different Ferrari model... Regards Matthias
Sorry Matthias, CARTUCCIA (singular) is ok on the top location, on the bottom line though, it is GARTUCCE (plural). It should be CARTUCCE I can see why that happened as the print on the canister it appears as a G not a C. Please don't do a third run... Please send me the final, pre-printing art, and I 'll double check it for you one last time. You cannot imagine how many mistakes they make here with replica decals, and Spanish/Italian are much closer, unlike those impossible languages you guys speak We all really appreciate your effort... Regards, Alberto
A bit both of them. He should have asked someone who's familiar with the Italian language. But nobody is perfect, even Matthias is not ;-)
Let's not blame the Germans just yet. I have seen for instance two different spellings of 'Fiamm' . You would think that the manufacturer would get their name right. Italian attention to detail is non existant.
True but the spelling on the fuel filter canister is 100% grammatically correct, albeit not very well printed. They never even made one in other languages! How could they be so obtuse as well as so nationalistic? It could have had it in English on the back side...nah, let them all learn Italian! Movies in Italy are still dubbed from the original language. It is a LAW. John Wayne was particularly amazing in Italian... Regards, Alberto
I'm happy to proofread as well - turns out both Alberto and I grew up in Italy and both imprinted the Dino as a favorite car at a young age.
When I lived in Rome - my neighbor and best friend's dad had new beauties in the garage every year - Espada, Miura, Merak, etc. but the 206 was my favorite - I found the car - nice guy in central Ca - it looks very different now but imagine it in Nocciola Metalizzatta w/ bumpers I was one smitten 10-year old.....
