Can anyone help me regarding my Dino restoration? I am still looking for:- Complete glove box lock assembly Steering rack support mounting (1 off). Petrol filler neck tube. Original front spare wheel cover molding. "Dino" 246 dash board air vents, (2 off). Original rear "Dino" chrome script. Anti roll bar drop links, (1 long and 1 short). GTS rear cushion panel behind seats. Any condition, will refurbish. Regards, Jim.
Are you in USA? "GTS rear cushion panel behind seats." This sounds like the firewall panel with horizontal stitching and was it in leather or vinyl on your car? I have the vinyl one from Nobu's stock
Syncro, Thanks for your reply. Attached , (what I am looking for), is an image of the "rear cushion panel" which is sited on top of the firewall stiched panel. I have also attached a couple of images of the GTS sunvisor/dimensions, (reference end bracket dimensions/details). Hope this helps. Regards, Jim.

"Original front spare wheel cover molding." What do you mean, the full batchboard? and Original, NOS is not available. We had to reproduce most of the fibreglass in Dino, as in very poor shape. Regards, Alberto
I think he means SP1 to trim off the top edge of the spare tire compartment where the bonnet would close on it. Table/Item number from the OEM parts book would go a long way towards being clear
Synchro/Swift53. Regarding the "spare wheel molding cover". From your reply,(Swift53), it is the batchboard I am looking for. The original items were made from molded black grained plastic. Now I think they are made up using glass fibre. Just an aside, I live in the UK. Regards, James.
James, Plastic would not support the spare, and the heat. Mine are made from fibreglass, as that, is what was there originally. I would buy it from Superformance: Front Spare Wheel Moulding 24603075 £299.95 Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login The freight from anywhere else will kill you. Regards, Alberto
I think you two are talking different parts. I think the part in need is the black grainy plastic item that covers the brake booster and has the flap for windshield washer hose and is attached with ~2-3 knurled machine screws plus some tiny sheetmetal screws.
Superformance stock the front batchboard in the plastic version as fitted to the E series cars and it is a very good quality reproduction item. The chances of finding an original item are extremely slim as these panels are prone to the plastic becoming brittle over time and they usually crack around the cover for the brake and clutch reservoirs.

If you're in the UK then you're in serious good fortune. Iain is an expert/masochist on Dinos and he's probably just up a trundle up the cobblestone for you, mate! He truly knows the fine details
