Bradan F355 Berlinetta bare metal paint job, Upholstery, mechanical service

Any chance you could tell me what that part weighs?

Thanks for all of the photos

 

In a few months, I can tell you, Jim

 

Much appreciated

 

Question: why do you have the old fasteners replated, instead of replacing with new hardware?

 

Good luck finding new matching hardware from ferrari

 

McMaster Carr sells yellow/zinc plated hardware every day of the week - what am I missing?

 

It's not the same in many cases. And, the amount of Ferrari hardware with a horse on it is unreal. For replating, hydrogen embrittlement is a serious concern so a proper supplier should be selected that does bake cycles.

 

Sure thats what you'll get from Ferrari or the other parts suppliers too.

A "like" fastener.


If you want all the original hardware you replate it. If you don't care buy it at mcmastercarr.

 

Fasteners should often not be reused.... YMMV, though. I'll take a "like" one over "old bolt may fail due to age, fatigue, and/or poor replating".

 

What are your thoughts of using structural adhesive on that panel?

 

Maybe it will maybe it wont. You do you
