Engine Valve cover and Airbox color

Do a search on the Tubi hose yellow sticker and there is a downloadable image of the correct design if you like.

 

Thanks for this but I have made a policy decision that having won this year (and also won in my Esprit incidentally ) that I am not going to do any more beautification to either car and focus on driving the crap out of them

 

+1 looks great. Can you be more specific on what vapour blasting is? Familiar with Sand blasting/media blasting/soda blasting/chemical strip. Very nice work Andy! Congrats on platinum award.

 

Here is the description from the guy who did them: Casting Renovation Process

 

Hi Andy
Congrats on winning at the FOC concourse, I saw you 328 engine and said to myself that the plenum was Painted silver? But if that's all been done by vapour I'm very impressed with that finish you have, I'm pleasantly surprised, that looks great mate.
Well done, I'm might send mine off??

 

Enjoy the drive !!

 

Interesting! Thanks for the link Andy!

 

Alberto, are your hose clamp screws painted yellow?

 

Door handle opening gasket available from Unobtainiumsupply.com

I think a large head chrome screw goes on the right.

 

Great news!

I think I bought the last pair of the door handle gaskets in the world, and sent to Verell to use as molds!!

Eventually, Ferrari narrowed the slot, slightly, and started dipping the handle shank in plastic, to accomplish the same thing!

But if you have the early sized slot (and from your pictures you do) then Verell is the Man!!

Nice work, Ms. Choo.

 

I do not believe that for a microsecond.

Almost all Ferrari engines are beautiful.

Even the engine of the lowly 330GT is beautifully finished: Wrinkle black cam covers, etc.

In my view, Ferrari engines look best the way they were made and not tarted up.
For example, some years ago people polished the Ferrari name and the corresponding
longitudinal stripes on 330GT cam covers --- they went through the paint to the aluminum
which they then brightly shined. This spoils the composition of the engine compartment
by focusing the eye on this small shiny strip rather than on the engine as a whole.
This practice does not happen so much recently.

 

On the other hand, I have tucked in both the rear and front bumpers
a little on my 308, but only 1 1/2" or so.

Ferrari was forced to make ugly USA extended bumpers to obey
the crazy --- what was it --- 5 (10?) MPH crash test.
And the European cars had tucked in bumpers, so this is what
Ferrari wanted.
