    I purchased a factory charger cable, the one that stays with the car. I had hopes of finding a mating connector to wire into my AGL charger. I had the manufactures name and part number of the stays on car half. Should be easy to find a mating connector right? Also, the location they placed the connector is poor. Lift the bonnet, remove the three screws that cover the brake fluid reservoir, and make the connection. Again, poor placement.


    So I used the factory connector and spliced into a new connector. I fabricated a bracket installed. Easy to access and the bonus is the warning light shows the charger is connected.

    The Ferrari “BATTERY CHARGING CONNECTION CABLE”. There are two part numbers dependent on the car assembly number.
    Car Assembly Number: 43439

    https://www.ricambiamerica.com/car-diagrams/ferrari/v6-v8/360-group/360-spider/battery/178566-charging-loom.html

    or

    Car Assembly Number: 43440
    https://www.ricambiamerica.com/car-diagrams/ferrari/v6-v8/360-group/360-spider/battery/200857-battery-charging-connection-cable.html

    Found four on eBay, I think I paid $115 for mine a couple of years ago.

    Part Number:178566

    I think either one would work if you’re considering a modification like mine.


    As for wiring, and I guess you could cut the connector off in your car and butt splice the wires direct. There are three wires, one +12vdc (RED), one ground (BLACK), and the Signal (RED/White) to trigger the warning light.

    I drilled and tapped the square tube just inside the opening to 6-32.

    Another cool feature or PITA if don't like inhibit functions.

    If you have the charger connected, as the factory intended and as I modified my 360, the starter will not crank. This prevents the accidental movement with the charger connected.

    Other inhibit function are with F1 transmission gear, the door open, and you let off the brake the transmission with change to neutral.

    Spider top will not activate while engine hood is open.

    Anyone seen any others?
