    Probably a clutch on a modern BMW costs more!

    hi everybody

    I'm new here, taking care of 1976 Vetroresina *19635* in Bangkok Thailand
    the car has an ugly Koenig front spoiler and we try to find an original in any condition
    or a good repro
    inquired everywhere, no luck
    any Ideas?
    or should I have placed a classified ad?
    my apologies then

    Robert

    The fiberglass without aeration spoiler for the early car including vetroresina is found from time to time even if there is some work to be done on it.
    Is 19635 a RHD car ? Can you told us more about it ?

    Well, there is a small-lip glassfiber 308 spoiler available for $550 U.S. I'm not sure how a period correct one for a vetro should look...best of luck finding one from a vetro...

    Are you looking for one with the absence of vent holes above the small spoiler lip?

    Sirholly is looking for one.

    Yes, there is no vent holes on early car, especially vetroresina. It appeared on US market, all versions and GTS Euro only around October 77.

    BTW st@ven, and sorry, gentlemen to be off topic, does your early steel car has a bleed screw on the top of the thermostat casting housing ? Your car is meanwhile of the appearance of this change. Thanks for your help !

    I have a '77 steel dry sump so I have been trying to figure out the vent hole question and I think, again, no expert here, that the vent holes were in all of the steel small lip spoilers. What's interesting is when did they start putting them in the fiberglass small lip spoilers? And, is there a pretty clear point when they went from fiberglass to steel? Tough to say with Ferrari. I have a pristine steel small lip spoiler but may change to fiberglass based on change over dates. My car is August, 1977.

    The steel spoiler is much more "young", it appeared during the injection car between 81/82.
    It was a replacement part and highly exposed to small shocks so it may have been changed during car's life.
    The vent hole appeared on the GTS (all Euro and US cars have it). From that period, it is mounted on all US cars (GTB/S).
    I don't know and/or understand if they develop the system first for US car or for the GTS (wet sump) cooling needed.
    Sorry to be off topic.
    Hannibal308, I don't know your car but even if it is a US or Euro GTB, it "should" have been deliver with a no vent fiber spoiler.

    I switched out the front spoiler on my 79 308 GTB a few years ago. Here is, not the best, picture that shows the vent holes in both spoilers. The deep spoiler was purchased out of Europe and was an OEM part.

    I always tried to find an assembly number on this part but nothing for now, even if I think the part was at least as much paired as the body openers.

    Apologies if a re-post. Period pic of R&T February 1977 issue test car. Note that the picture as scanned is flipped.

    The car and setting match the pic in the article.

    No vent holes.
