UNAVAILABLE PARTS

Mondial 8 interior door handles; (same as some 440i)?

 

I always thought that a qv/328 spark plug well cover that allowed the wire to go straight through instead of at an angle would be good. One could simply thread commonly available high quality spark plug wires through and also importantly, seat them directly on the plug with a universal plug wire tool and NOT have to worry with those dang plug extenders going bad.

 

I've just finished molds for the plastic covers that go over the upper seat belt support & pivot bolt. Two different styles are available. I call the ones at the bottom of the picture style A, and the ones at the top of the picture style B.
The price is $45 each. To order send eMAIL:

Another masterpiece by "the Man"

 

Just received and installed my seat belt covers, they look and work great. They really help to keep my old worn belts from getting bunched up in the pulley.

Many thanks Verell

Lucky you! I need one for my 328 (European version, left side) and there is none anywhere. Verell, how is that project going ?

 

It's temporarily on hold, had to return the lights to their owner for driving season. However, he's promised to loan them to me next salt season.

BTW, It would really help if I could borrow one with the lens broken out. Knowing exactly how the lens is mounted inside would speed up getting the good lenses out.

 

Any one know where I can get the black plastic caps that cover the screw head on each side of the convertible top pull up strap for a 1989 Mondial t.

 

If mine was broken I would borrow it, no problem. It is "only" cracked, but didn't fall apart (see picture)
I will try to find a broken one.

With the new Ferrari Classich program, there are no more unavailable parts...you just have to PAY Ferrari to have them made...

 

That is certainly not true, unfortunately, at least in the case of the 328!
Here's a list of a few components, all confirmed to be unavailable with no indication of availability, both from Ferrari and Maranello Concessionaires. I will only mention the ones that WILL stop your car or cause it to fail inspection:

- fog lights
- parking lights
- warm up regulator
- bypass valve
- auxiliary air valve
- cold start injector
- brake master pump
- front wheel bearings

Some of them were close to turning my dream of owning a Ferrari into a nightmare ... if it wasn't for the cross references and local New Old Stock !!
I have been buying everything I can find that I know to be NLA. Next thing will be making the molds for the front parking/signal lights and selling them on ebay. (european version)

Around here there are a few people looking for parts for 328's, 348's and Testarossa's

This is not the way to take care of the Ferrari heritage, and totally unacceptable for someone used to deal with British cars. They do know how to preserve their history !!

 

These are available (rebuilt) from specialtauto.com. I know because I just bought one.

 

FWIW:

- fog lights I have these
- parking lights I have these orange/orange
- warm up regulator
- bypass valve
- auxiliary air valve
- cold start injector I have these
- brake master pump
- front wheel bearings I have these

 

Wow, would you please PM me prices for the fog light and cold start injector ?
The parking lights would have to be european (white/orange) and I have already bought a few (well, ALL) front wheel bearings that my local shop had in stock

Thanks,
Rui

 

Thanks! I will take a look

 

Thanks, jdubois ! They will rebuild a used unit, which is better than having none !
This forum is great !

 

No sweat! They do a good job too, the rebuilt unit I got looked and worked like new.

 

Desperately require part no 111838- for my 79 308GTB- which is a distributor shield / cover ( usually has a high voltage sticker on it ) apparently only fitted to GTB model, i am also requiring an electric aerial switch, as mine has been replaced at some stage with a non-original one.

TRX (220/55/R390) tires ---- at non-extortion prices!!!

 

Not too long ago TireRack carried the 220's for about $220 each. They didn't have the wider 245's which are only available from Coker for $400+. They weren't easy to find on their website, so it's best to call to if they still carry them.

 

If anyone needs them. I remanufactured the toggle piece using high strength stainless. They dont break, they fit all Mondials and they are really easy to install.
Let me know.

When you call Coker, be sure to ask for Jerry. I give all the FChat guys a discount.

 

Hi Philip!
Nice pic! I'm sorry you missed out on the shield I had. Regarding your aerial switch, be aware that there are in fact two OEM types: one that looks like all the other switches with the black round knob, and the very early style that is a shiny metal longer shaped switch.
Kind regards, mick

 

Neither of which are available. A few months ago I spent several days w/o luck trying to track down someone who might carry, mfg or reproduce the antenna switches. Apparently they were unique to Ferrari.

 

Verrell;

Noticed you had aquired a plastic injection unit. Have you heard of anyone else needing a replacement plastic cover for the seatback top plate? I beleive the right and left side are interchangeable, oh and it may be used in more cars than just the 308's.
