206 & L back up lights

If memory serves, these look correct.

Funny, I was just at the San Diego Auto Museum yesterday for the opening of the continued Ferrari exhibit and on Saturday they started bringing new cars in the revolution to production cars, including Bill LeMasters rare 206GT. I reviewed the photos I shot and these lights are identical, photo below.

PS - they are also exactly the same lights used on my 1972 Euro version Maserati Bora for front turn signals

I believe my '69 early model #00508 Tipo L 246GT has the same back up lights ? w/ smiles Jimmy PS. Sorry, no pics at this time.

 

Yep, lots of cars used these particular reverse lamps. The list below indicates how common they were and there may well have been other manufacturers who used these Carello lights. Now that repros are available, they shouldn't be too difficult to get.

Ferrari
275GTS (reverse lamps)
330 GTC/GTS (front turn signals and reverse lights)
365 GTC/GTS (front turn signals and reverse lights))
365 California (front turn signals)
early 365 GTB/4 and GTS/4 Daytonas
Dino 206GT and 246GT "L"

Alfa Romeo
1967-1969 Duetto (single reverse light under right bumper)

Lamborghini
350 GT/GTS (front turn signals)
400 GT (front turn signals)
Islero GT (front turn signals)

Maserati
5000 (some examples)
Mistral (front turn signals)
Mexico (speciale)
Ghibli (front turn signals)
Indy (front turn signals)
Bora (front turn signals)
Merak (front turn signals)

Interesting!

Its good info. I didnt realize they were so readily available. I dont know why I thought they were hard to come by.

Just for future reference, how did you find out all the other cars/models they also fit?

In truth, I had an Alfa Duetto before I had my Dino and had seen them on a variety of Italian cars through the years. That being said, this thread inspired me to do a bit of late night research and that list is the fruits of my labor. When restoring my Dino, I would often source parts from other Italian car dealerships once I knew which other cars had parts in common with the Dino. Heck, there are parts on a Dino in common with those found on BMWs and Porsches and those dealers are often cheaper and easier to work with.

I've also attached a photo of the reverse lights on my 246GT "L"

On that note, Keith, Pelican Parts (.com) is an online supplier of Bimmer and Porsche parts. They also have some good tech articles. I recently purchased 4 CV boot kits (930 Porsche p/n 928 332 924 02) for $11.75 each, plus 7-8 bucks for shipping. They are GKN/Lobro parts. If you need the CV joint (also for a 930 p/n 930 332 034 00), Pelican stocks the GKN/Lobro part for $83.25.

As for ATE brakes, they can help us there, too. They stock the blue or gold ATE fluid, new front calipers, front caliper kits, Speed-Bleeder valves, various bleeder kits, hoses (don't know if they are the right length for our cars), etc. My understanding is that the calipers for the 246 & 308 are the same as those on 911 & 914 Porsches. The fronts are 911SC ("A" caliper) & rears are 914-6.

911 brakes & stuff at http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/shopcart/911M/POR_911M_BRKhyd_pg1.htm

914-6 brakes - Unfortunately, their 914-6 rear brake components are no longer available. However, Dorman makes a kit (D-93342) for $14.95 & Tru Torque has a
kit, same p/n, for $13.99. Try to order these at partsamerica.com or at the local Kragen/O'Reilly, Schuck's, Murray's parts store. NAPA Online also lists a kit (UP 532) for $13.49. (Catalog doesn't differentiate between 914-4 & -6. Make sure the kit fits 42mm piston.)

At any rate, the folks at Pelican Parts are very knowledgeable & helpful, and the pricing seems quite reasonable. I ordered my boots on a Thursday, mid-day, with an estimated delivery of 3-4 business days. They arrived the very next day via FedEx! Wow, one day service!

I learned about the brake & CV commonality from our friends over on the 3x8 Forum. There's some good stuff over there, including a tutorial on R&R of CVs. They also mentioned Pelican Parts for the source.

I'm just a home mechanic; I'm definitely not an expert. If any of you out there have different info, please let me/us know.

Nice finds celestialcoop. I think I'll start a separate thread of its own - Dino NOS components found in common with other Marques
