355 F355 / 355F1 Parts Thread

First post on this thread and hope it helps, closest thing I’ve found to the, maybe not important but, brake line holders that go all over the car, meaning plastic clips picture to follow… is:
Ferrari part NLA: 141505
GM part number: 94530240


If you know of a more similar part…I’m all ears
Also hunting for the same clip but for dual lines

Just to update this; I've found the Solenoid valve used for the exhaust valve to be a:
PIERBURG ® 7.02256.29.0 also Ford Part Numbers 6580879 6580881

 

Interesting one here;

The Ferrari 360 (and likely F430) front/rear wheel bearing is the same as (read: identical to) the F355 FRONT except in 2 regards:-
* The 360 part has a different ABS sensor, and thus rubberlike core/inductor is bonded to the back of the bearing seals
* The 360 part has a lesser dish where the hub-nut is fitted to the stub shaft; such that the thread engagement is at best borderline for 275 nm(?)

So:
After tapping the 360 sensor off the back of the hub; the ABS sensor core ring can be cut off the bearing rear shielding with a craft knife sufficient to clear the F355 stub shaft in 60 seconds. Easy.

More difficult, but certainly doable is to have a machine shop bore out the hub-nut recess 5-10mm.
Should be an easy job; I might have a go next week when my machinst is back off holiday.

 

(360 bearings are circa £600 and available. F355 circa 1400 and not available at the moment.)

 

Corrected below. (Now have a 360 bearing on my f355)

 

So, for the price of two (non-available) 355 hub-bearings, one can get fifty (50) hub-bearings for Ferrari 360 from Alibaba (Automotive Bearing For Ferrari 360 Challenge Rear Wheel Hub Bearing 179070 Auto Spare Parts - Buy Automotive Bearing For Ferrari 360 Challenge 179070,For Ferrari 360 Challenge Wheel Hub Bearing,For Ferrari Auto Spare Parts 179070 Product on Alibaba.com), custom made with a deeper dish to suit 355 and get some discount for the units to be supplied without the ABS sensor ring.

 

That company would almost certainly make those TWO (I found another one, as above) machining changes wouldn't they?

The quality won't be SKF but the question becomes vs "used" SKF.

I have machined one of the 360 hub bearing units to F355 dimensions now too and it is a fairly easy job. The only downside is these will only work for the front hubs.

Now, I am looking into the possibility of finding a hub bearing unit that could be modified to fit the F355 rear hub carrier. Do any of you have an old, junk, failed F355 rear hub bearing unit laying around that you would be willing to send to me? I just need it for measuring its dimensions so it does not need to be a serviceable unit.

 

I'm glad that info was useful to sombody.

I've eyeballed photos of various rear hubs and not seen anything that looks quite right so far. Keen to hear if you get anywhere with it.

Cheers,

John

 

I have one but I'm in the UK - which measurements do you need?

 

I need the hole spacing for the mounting bolts to the carrier. The diameter of the hub housing where it fits into the hub carrier. The distance between the mounting face to the carrier and the hub face where the brake disc is bolted. The thickness of the splined inner bearing race and the depth from the edge of the wheel centering protrusion to the face where the axle nut tightens down.
It's really best if I have one and can set it on my surface plate and use my machinist's measuring tools to get the precise measurements. I would be willing to pay the shipping to the US if it isn't too cost prohibitive.

 

I have the means to measure all that alternatively. (Started my career with a brief stint as a Quality Inspector - could also model it up in a few minutes)

 

There is no reason at all to ship it to me then. I would very much appreciate you getting all those measurements for me and modeling it up is even better. Thanks!

 

Certainly happy to do that (also happy to ship it back if necessary).

 

Thanks again!

 

Anyone have the ATE part number for the clutch master cylinder? I'm sure it's a standard part used on other vehicles.

 

Lower down in this thread there are some alternative clutch MC's....it was indeed a part used on lots of Fiats and Alfas (and more) of the time. I think I paid like $50 for one a few years ago.

I just tried my local BMW dealer and they told me there are none in stock in the USA.

I looked at the ones I have and they have a Mercedes Benz emblem cast in it

Does anyone have any leads on these even aftermarket. Or I guess I could try to make some myself
