    I have a 2001 Spyder with the old style Capote housing without the access panels to the fuel pumps. Am looking to replace that with the new style. Does anyone have one used they are looking to get rid of? I'm in northern Indiana.

    Rather than going about gutting the chicken to find an egg, I suggest simply cutting access holes in the tub and making a fiberglass plug.

    The amount of work it would take to replace that capote tub is quiet extreme, and then you have all the adjustment issues that will take you weeks and lots of frustration. The final nail would likely be that the modernized tub may not fit in an older car.

    You would be better off selling the car and buying a newer one for such a small gain.

    One more silly thing. The name of your car is a Ferrari 360 Spider. No Y. Spelling is important, even today with modern celebrations of ignorance.

    Thanks for the feedback, and the correction on spelling.
