Similar Tool Kits: 575M, 575 Superamerica, 550, 360, 360 CS and 612

Hi
I am trying to nail down once and for all the correct toolkit for the correct model.

All these cars have very similar looking tool kits: 575 Superamerica, 575M, 550, 360, 360 CS and 612

From my research, the outer appearance of all the cases looks the same or very very similar, but on the inside there are small differences. This is what i have found from my research, please correct or confirm where possible. I am sure with it being Ferrari there are plenty of oddities to be found.

many thanks as always
Mark

The Ferrari 575 Superamerica tool kit, differs from the standard 575M as it has the hex T-bar tool cut into the foam, small older style headlight bulb:

the standard Ferrari 575M Maranello tool kit, manual and F1 car (no T-bar):

The Ferrari 550 Maranello (and 550 Barchetta) tool kit, distinguishable by the 6 fuse arrangement and the different shape of the screwdriver handle?:

The Ferrari 612 tool kit, easily distinguishable from the fuse arrangement, same screwdrivers as the 550:

I believe this is a standard Ferrari 360 tool kit, F1 & Manual car - but it look the same as the 575 Superamerica tool kit (it has the T-bar), the difference is main beam headlight bulb is the larger version?:

Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale Tool Kit, this differs from the standard Ferrari 360 tool kit, note the different tool arrangement with the wheel socket cut into the set. I assume that is for the light weight wheel studs?

Thanks Terry,

so you are saying the 360 could have either of the bulbs (conventional halogen headlight bulbs or high performance), depending on the original spec selected, and the factory assembly line were smart enough to put the correct bulb kit in to that specific car? If that was the case, then the 575 Superamerica tool kit above could also be the correct tool kit for a 360 with that bulb fitment?

would it have been possible that the 575 Superamerica had the option off the high performance headlight bulbs over the conventional halogen headlight bulbs?

many thanks

 

Ignore that!

i think i have answered it myself, the distinguishing feature of both the 360 & 360CS from any 575 tool kit, is the fuse and bulb arrangement - so it looks like both 360 kits have 5 large fuses versus only 4 in the 575 kits (the 360 having an extra 20 amp large fuse).

Also the 360 kits have 4 small light bulbs versus the 3 small light bulbs in the 575 kits, plus the 360 kits have the orange glass indicator bulb, the 575 kits do not.

So i think, at the moment, the original post with all the kits labelled as they are is still correct.

thanks

Hi,
I am not sure, but I have seen it a few times in kits advertised on ebay - all these kits have been on ebay in the USA, so maybe its something that is specific to a US spec car?

I cant find any reference in a UK/Euro spec users manual - but it may be in a latter addition?

Can you check, does it fit on the end of the t-bar hex drive that is on the left side of your kit? I suspect it is something to do with a later spider, but need proof.

 

nice detective work!
