Seasons greetings all Ferraristi, and a Happy New 2011. I am missing the air box and lid ( Presa aria nr: 236E -1811748 and the lid Copercliio presa nr: 236L -T81113 for my Dino, bugging me to hell. Anyone with a spare even in bad condition? I would celebrate a late christmas if one can be found. Many thanks in advance. Many thanks. Sunit Ray
Hi 06536 1973 Euro model, always been in Europe. I also owned 00432. Hoping someone has a spare somewhere on this planet. Cheers Sunit
I have not checked, but I'm almost certain that Dinoparts (Germany) and Superformance (UK) carry reproduction ones, for a price...
Dinoparts has the box and lid, it took just a few seconds seacrh to find it http://www.dinoparts.de/EN/ferrari-246-gt-gts/carburettors-fuel-supply/filters/
That's a very fair price--I'm surprised they are even available, much less that cheaply. I see they make the filter canister, too, for a similar price Jim
Yes, try the box of DinoParts but be careful, if these repro parts do look original. I was interested to buy your car a couple of years ago, very rare original color. Send me a pm for more details.
I would think it might be difficult to balance the carbs with that setup, as the middle one has only the short sides of the filter to suck air thru while the others have one long side in addition
Greetings all you have more on my car than I have.... I have removed the weber aftermarket filters and the engine is being worked on, I wish to return the engine compartment to the way it looked. Many thanks for all your help. Best wishes Sunit Ray
Air filter canister repro on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ferrari-246-GTE-Dino-Air-Filter-Housing-reproduction-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem230cf6734aQQitemZ150541333322QQptZVintageQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories Pietro
Hi Pietro and all others Thanks for the info on the cannister. I have this, it seems that the original airbox was removed to install the filters you see in the picture. I just want to return to factory specs.The colour seems correct but repainted at some stage. I am carefully refurbishing the car not interested in a nut and bolt. I have had enough cars to see that the "soul" dissapears once you dismantle completely. I am in no hurry, the car is paid for. If anyone has more info on my car I would gladly take it to my heart. Good or bad. Now I will drink more coffee and get rid of this headache from yesterday. Cheers Sunit
found a lid listed on ebay. not cheap !! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ferrari-Dino-246-GT-GTS-Carborator-Box-Top-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem4aa78305b4QQitemZ320637961652QQptZVintageQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories
Original parts in good condition will always cost more than repros. You'll have to decide if it's worth it to you. Outside of concours judges you won't find many people who will be able to tell (or care about) the difference.
A complete air box has just been posted on eBay. Starting bid $50 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ferrari-246-Dino-Air-Cleaner-Assembly-/220719216219?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3363e3f65b Hope this helps
I think the main box is the same as mine but the lid is different for sure. There is a correct lid listed for about $200
Correct. The lid is the difference. The lid on ebay is for very early cars 1969/70. From 71 to 74 the lid was the same as for your car.
That`s a very rare item. It`s original from L-serie Dinos from approx. #00700 to #01116. Regards Matthias
