    Which car is this? Oh, it's 246GT #01266.

    This should really be in a different thread.

    The bolt looks like it's been there for a while, but I would have expected the "usual" slotted mushroom head screw in size M6 and of the same type that's used on some of the other fiber glass panels but in size M5....?

    Matthias, I'd be very surprised if the bolt was factory fitted. More likely, it is an early fix for a poorly fitting servo cover by an early owner or dealer. However, anything is possible with Ferrari!

    today I took one of the tanks out... and found untouched / hidden original colour...
    looks much more golden than expected...!

    the backside of the tank was pressed against the black heat protection foam and part of the bottom were sitting on the felt covered brackets....

    as far as I could find out the slotted head screw M6x15mm must be correct, also for this car.
    a 8.8 screw is very unusual anyway as in the early 1970`s 8G screws were more common
    also originally no washers were used...

    Matthias,

    I would leave it "as-is" with all it's patina and frame it with an original photo of the Dino when raced and install another "restored" steering wheel in the car.

    unfortunately I don`t have a second original M-series steering wheel, difficult to find as different to the E-series ones...
    if I would leave one as it is and would restore the other one....

    Hopefully you have a bit of time to figure it out. You could also just repair the leather on the spokes and enjoy the patina and history through your fingertips!
