    There are some dimensions of the suspension mounting points in the workshop manual, but to the best of my knowledge Ferrari never printed a body repair manual with dimensions of the chassis. The very early frames were made by Gilco for Ferrari: http://www.gilcodesign.com/doc/GILCOdesignAUTO.htm You can see some of the dimensions on the Gilco website. I am sure that Ferrari Classiche has the chassis dimensions, but they are not going send them to you. You would have to send your car to them for repair.
    It would best to have a bodyshop that specializes in Ferrari repair fix the chassis. They can take measurements from a non-crashed car or have them in their database.

    Hi, thanks for the reply’s everyone but I can’t believe nobody has dimensions 246 Dino. These cars have been around a long time, I also fix cars for living so I always found chassis mearsurements for every car I have fixed, I have restored many Ferrari’s so I don’t understand why this is problem ☹️.

    Paul if you want to retain the value of your dino you may just want to send it back to ferrari.

    I have been restoring Ferrari’s for 30 years, so far as concerned I haven’t devalued any car, if anything I have tripled it’s value.

    Ask Jon (Omgjon) he restores Dinos to a very high standard. I would think he knows everything about them or ask Ferrari.
