Dino engine rubber trim

Of course you'd see nothing like that...I think they only sell new stuff!

I've seen several places that have trunk rubber. They all say it comes in 3 pieces; (2) side pieces and (1) piece that I assume must be the engine-trunk (or hinge end) piece.

Dinoparts.de does have it...

As does Superformance...
Rear Boot Rubber 24604260 £34.95

 

Steve, I bought a set last week from a supplier here in Melbourne. I'm not sure where you are but I'm sure they'll post it out to you...

What about this seller?

I have not used them, just seems to be showing an increasing number of trim items

 

The problem with that seller is that practically none of their items have an actual photo of what you're buying. I considered them too, but I don't like the idea of buying something w/o seeing a real picture so I know what I'm getting. The thought of buying, then finding out it isn't what was advertised and trying to return is a most unpleasant idea.

 

must admit that has held me back also...

 

I was at Dennis McCann's place not too long ago and I am pretty sure he had a big spool of that rubber that just came in.

 

Looks like Matt at re-originals might have what you want.

you can look at all his profiles here http://reoriginals.com/rubberprofiles.aspx

or just search through his dino parts maze.

Call GT Auto Parts - talk to Bill

here are some pictures - (sorry .. bad quality)

The same seal should go on both sides of the "channel" between the engine and trunk... at least on the early cars

I've seen both this version with two flip out pieces of rubber on top as well as one with just a single flip that angles off the side. Which is correct? The trunk seal on my E-series '73 Dino GT is round with a single flip out both on the sides and between the trunk and engine bay.

It seems every supplier offers something different (Superperformance states the U shaped seal, Dino Parts a single flip on the top, etc).

 

That's the same rubber used on the removable splash shields in the fender wells.

 

the round version would be correct for your Dino

 

Thanks Matthias

 

There are two edges between the engine and trunk compartment. I had a round seal on the trunk side, but nothing on the second edge near the engine. Was this unsealed? Most other Dinos seem to have nothing here, but some have the edge protection found in the front trunk as well as very rear edge of the trunk.

This photo from the Dino Compendium seems to show the same round seal also on this inner edge with the single rubber lip pointed towards the trunk. The photo doesn't show how this seal fits along where the latch is, does it go behind the latch or is it cut into two pieces?

This unknown early chassis also has a rubber seal on the engine inside edge by the latch.

The image below is the profile that Cicognani in Italy supply for this piece of trim. This is their part number '16325180 ENGINE COMPARTMENT BORDER RUBBER SEAL' and costs 25 Euros plus shipping from Italy. They just sent me this yesterday and it took less than a week to arrive to the UK. I have more photos if anyone needs them. Their website is at http://www.cicognaniguarnizioni.it/en/ferrari

My car had the same rubber on both edges. I know mine had never been off and we original to the car. I also confirmed that with Rob and his research showed the same. As our cars are M cars I wouldn't be sure it was the same on later cars.
