Does anyone know where I can pick up the nuts that tie down the battery cover on a 328? It looks like this. Image Unavailable, Please Login
perhaps they changed them from 308 to 328. Mine are missing, so I cant be sure Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
They are the same but I sure cant see paying 125 a pair. Ferrari used to only supply them with the cover but I think even those are all reproductions now without the nuts. Just use some regular 8mm nuts with body washers. Its all hidden by the spare tire anyway.
Thanks all. I was just hoping it was a common piece at Mcmaster-Carr on some such place $125 a pair is a hefty price to pay. I'm not that far gone yet
I seem to have lost another one "down the hole". It's amazing how something can bounce and get so far away from where it was dropped. Don't forget they are supposed to have a circlip on the bottom to hold them to the cover. I was in the process of finding ones that fit when I dropped the one nut.
I agree, but this is nothing. Let's start another discussion about the different types of air box cover knurled nuts.
Some people never stop amazing me... How the ******* can some one charge $120 for two nuts that can be purchased for $22?... And even then are expensive!
Finding the nuts is the easy part. Finding the special star-shaped circlips which hold them is more difficult. Or impossible.
It's FleaBay. Same reason people place $60K buy it now prices on 308GTBs. People hoping for one sucker to come along. Look at shift knobs, shift gates, and the like...asking hundreds of dollars for items available for significantly less from Ricambi, Hill, or Superformance. Ciao! Hannibal
Various battery cover nuts made from elesa clamping knobs. ~$2.00 each for the base parts and extra $$ for the lathe time to do the mods. The fluted knobs could be used without any modification. The lobe knobs required bore and tap for correct thread. Image Unavailable, Please Login
The set I received from Ricambi a few months ago did not come with washers. I sourced them out locally, but the are not exactly the same
Came to this thread to source these nuts. Someone posted "check the parts bin under the spare tire tub" Low and behold it was there. At least 25 years there! It was missing when I bought the car lol! I just saved between $2.00 and $150........
