I'm restoring my 1974 246 GTS and can't find the following: 1 set (2) US spec rear bumper end caps (flat, no bulb cutout). left side heater control plastic panel (has raised edges, is rectangular, and surrounds the left heat slider switch). Front compartment light bulb (looks like a glass fuse, fits into a holder next to the fusebox) Locking bar with key that fits over the 3 levers that release trunk, gas cap and engine cover. I never even knew this existed until I saw one a few weeks ago. Any other parts/spares. Thanks
Don't know about the bumper end caps. Doesn't Verell here on Ferrarichat make good repros of the heater bezel for the 308 in polished Aluminum? I'm thinking they might be the same for the Dino... The front bonnet courtesy light bulb is a Wagner 11005, but I also have an Osram 37R that is the same. Here is the locking bar, Leonard has several for sale: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=10076&viewitem=&item=160082809224
hey steve- I can help you with the locking bar thing. Sorry to have missed you the other night. I will try to get you this weekend
Try calling GT Car Parts in Phoenix. They sell new Ferrari (etc.), repro and used parts for all kinds of exotics. My first call when something breaks. No web site so you have to call and talk to someone who actually knows what you want even if you don't know the part number. A refreshing turn of events. Good prices and fast shipping if they have it. If they don't, move on 'cause special orders can take forever. They are good with advice on how-to repair and replace. 623-780-2200. Omgjon visited their shop a month or so ago and posted a few pictures. He is getting lots of parts there and is getting the same treatment I have been getting for about 15 years. Good guys. John
Thanks to all. Champ-got your call, left you a message. Are you around this weekend? I'm going to check the vendors suggested by everyone. My really big problem is that I have spoken to everyone I know in the US and Europe, and the only bumper end caps available are Euro style. Thanks again
Steve- look forward to seeing you. I like Superformance in UK. They are hugely helpful,knowledgeable,will call you back,and can deliver in our zip code about 3 days. They even sent me banjo fuel fittings for a fellow fchatter for free just to help him get going. Ron or Mike know all about these cars and source most of this stuff for the US guys anyway. If you look at their website (www.superformance.co.uk) you can see that locking bar assembly plus they have lots of used stuff too. I can't speak too much about the other suppliers as I am sure they are qualified too but I had an A+ experience everytime with the guys at Superformance.
champ- glad i finally got to see your garage. love the cars. thanks for the lenses. can you give me the name of the guy who made them again? maybe he can splash the rear bumper end plates. can't find US version anywhere for any money. now that you have 2 of everything it's time to get 1 on the track. check here for schedule: http://www.empirestateregion.com/clubevents.htm at least bring the red dino to pocono even if you don't track it. or i'll be happy to drive it for you.
Call T Rutlands, Lee, Brian or Mike have everything you need PLUS they exchange visits with Superformance UK and the two companies share parts, so you don't need to go to Europe for it. They also purchased Maranello Auto Parts so have their complete inventory too. Dinoparts.de has great items too
