hi, I wonder if somebody can tell me if the damage at the base area of the flange in the ebay auction ok to use? Assuming the tip of the flange is flat and free of damage. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Ferrari-360-430-Rear-Bearing-Support-Flange-Part-207539/401310947446?epid=1651107051&hash=item5d6fff1876:g:0JIAAOSwSypY95t1&vxp=mtr I do my own labor , so I am not the "once you are there why not make it safe" kind of guy. the more money I save, the happier.
Do you mean the wrench marks? Looks like a caveman was working on this car. I don't know much about how this part functions in the car but the mating surfaces all look good so that wouldn't bother me. Hopefully someone who has done some of this work before can chime in for you. Image Unavailable, Please Login
For me, certain stuff is not worth the risk of a used part. A part like this, is buried. I’d pay the additional cost of new to avoid a possible revision. It’s the labor (my labor I DIY also!) Especially if you do it yourself, treat yourself. You are saving lots of money on the job anyway. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Sorry, may have changed my mind. This is just the flange and doesn’t have moving parts. Be sure to put in new seals. I thought you were referring to the thrust bearing also. Why do u need this did yours crack or something? https://www.ricambiamerica.com/car-diagrams/ferrari/v6-v8/360-group/360-modena/clutch-and-controls-valid-for-f1.html Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I saw this part as well and where the monkey was hitting it to presumably get off the bolt that holds it in place. The concern I'd have is along the shaft. If the seals fit nicely and the bearing moves well on the shaft you should be OK. Only concern I'd have is at position zero if the indentations alter the seat of the bearing on the shaft. edit: If the damage extends to the shaft.. I wouldn't buy it. You'll get a fluid leak there from under the seal. You a bettin' man? IMHO STOOPID expensive for the part it is..
If the base of the large cylinder or the large diameter boss is a sealing surface too for something that travels on it I would not use! If it is a static seal area (no sliding or movement) then maybe you can clean it up on a lathe? You might need to take a close look at the seal sizes in this instance and perhaps change them from stock.
I’ve just done a complete clutch change on my 360 and I changed the flange also together with the TOB. Did I need to change it? Probably not, but since I was in there poking around already... The damage shown on pics won’t affect as the TOB doesn’t travel that far back when not engaged. The springs alone won’t allow it. IF you buy it, be sure to change all seals and O-rings. Also buy new springs and ”end of stroke pins” / bolts. You should be fine... I think...
