"Official 365 GTC/4 pictures" thread ?

Have you thought about using the new Fchat ads? Possibly the best targeted Ferrari audience on the planet.

Yes, 7,5 are to small, 9 too big but with the 7,5 much more harmonious.

 

Never liked the larger rear wheels on a C4.... throws the whole car's look out of balance.
Had wires on my first C4 - 15693 - but changed them for Cromodoras, which IMHO look better on the car.

Mike - although you have a spectacular car, it appears pricing on C4's is a bit soft at the moment.
BAT would show real money for your car, as would the various auction house services. I hope you put a strong reserve on the car.... knowing you, it is perfect and one of the best color combos out there.

 

Hi Timo,

Do the Bendix pumps have the embossed branding on the tops?

Wow, that is interesting...

I noticed the Tecalemit "Aeroquip" hose; also German. And also the same stuff that I found deep in the hard-to-replace bowels of my car.

It is hard to tell from the photo. Do the short hoses attached to the pumps also look to be that same Tecalemit stuff?

Also interesting that it looks like the filter bowl is the greenish-black, rather than the greenish-grey.

 

Well, I was surprised by the German pump. While it makes general sense, it never occurred to me that all the widely used English-language labels for the pumps might be wrong.

I was puzzled when I found that Tecalemit hose in my car, because it is actually not the "3/8th" that appears in the parts book; so while it seemed plausible me that it might indeed be original, I had been thinking it likely was not. So I was surprised to see the exact same stuff in your picture.

finally, I tend to think of those black bowls are being from a different type of filter. I have one, and have seen pictures of others, but the tops look tangibly different than the ones in Daytonas (or in your picture).

 

Boy, finding German pumps of the right model would have to rate as one of the hardest "unobtainium" searches I can imagine...

Thanks for the background on the "AN" designation; since in the contest of my experiences, I only saw those designations associated with what I have always call "Aeroquip type" fittings, it never occurred to me that AN-6 mapped to 3/8" at one point (it certainly does not these days).

 

Hi Timo,

I forgot to ask, do the labels on those pumps look like stickers, or do they look like decals?

I've got a really only pump that I bought for reference purposes, and it looks like it has a decal...

 

Bummer… I guess I’ll be making some decals…

Somehow, i just can’t abide by the notion that a sticker is an acceptable substitute for decals or silk screenings…

 

Hi Timo I need to ask you a question regarding brake disks if you do not mind. What is the least allowable thickness of brake disks for the C/4 ? Thank you.

 

Thank you TIMO, I just need to check that my mechanic who is 2400km away from me has not resurfaced too much. He is having problems. As regards to the workshop manual , it is with him in the car ;-)

 

I know this thread is focused on originality.
However, having scraped my non original SS mufflers due to poor ground clearance too many times, I opted to remove and replace them with straight pipes all the way back to the resonators. I know a guy with a Daytona that did this with no problems. Having posted a similar thread over on the 365 GT4 2+2/400 section, and received several inquiries, I thought I would add to this thread.
1-3/4" pipes. A little bit louder but not much. No drone. Much better ground clearance, although you still have to watch the headers going over any large irregularities. And about 70-80# of weight loss.
One of these days I'll figure out how to upload video so you hear how little difference it made.
