Hi all. My 348 is missing the centre console cover (and the corner has a slight crack). I'm relatively new to F cars. Where would be the best place to source a good replacement part? if it matters, I'm in Australia. Many thanks.
You may want to try Red Bay Ferrari parts in Belgium, Stefan Leunis. They ship worlwide. Bought a 348 ashtray from them not too long ago. Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat.com mobile app
Can you identify which parts are missing from the diagram below (sorry, not sure which 348 you have) https://www.ricambiamerica.com/car-diagrams/ferrari/v6-v8/348-group/348-1989-1992/tunnel-accessories-valid-for-ts-set-holder-without-door-version.html Are you missing the hinged ashtray cover, the insert (for ash) or more? I find it best to get the part numbers from the Ricambi USA site and then Google "Ferrari part xxxxxx". Europe sources seem to be generally cheaper (and faster) for Aussies. I have seen F-cars being broken up in Australia, but they are rare. Ash trays can be repaired (but it may be best to leave it to the experts). Sometimes websites indicate the parts are in stock, but when you contact the website, they aren't. Looks like the ash trays are being remanufactured as original OEM parts seem to be NLA. https://www.ferrariparts.co.uk/part/ferrari/62146600?id=44638 Definitely not cheap (for Aussies), especially with postage and 10% GST
My ashtray had similar corner crack and I found out that this was due to a gap between the bottom of the ashtray and the tabs on the tunnel below into which the two holding screws are threaded. This caused strong pull-down on the ashtray's top rim and its cracking. I inserted nylon washers (stuck on the underside of the ashtray at the two holes) to eliminate the gap and allow just a small pull-down of the top ashtray rim against where it is sitting. Alternatively, tighten the two screws very lightly.
There's a guy on Gumtree.com.au who sells some parts: You might like to ask him if he will sell you the ash tray alone. https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/camberwell/other-parts-accessories/central-tunnel-with-accessories-for-ferrari-348/1243386928
you can get reproduction units that are identical I think they're sold on eBay but they're also sold on some website. The guy who does things out here somewhere on the site. Sent using FerrariChat.com mobile app
Unfortunately missed out on the above... Wasn't quick enough - if anyone has one lying around, please let me know. Cheers
There are reproduction ashtrays on Ebay (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Ferrari-348-ashtray-62146600/184424534685) and at Eurospares (https://www.eurospares.co.uk/search?partNumber=62146600). Otherwise, I have a good lid from my original ashtray that I replaced with a new one. The lid still has some small residue of the factory "sticky" coating which needs to be removed and the lid resprayed. As the Malaysian post has recently suspended all international shipping due to Covid, I can only ship by UPS at USD 40 to Australia. PM me if interested.
