Re: What Makes FERRARI Special - 1970 BBC Archives

What a treat! Do I detect the dulcet tones of Raymond Baxter in the narration?

Re: Common Parts

Not that I know of, but I have been keeping track of the alternative part numbers I find for some years now, so I have some (for the 2.4 at least). I guess the best would be a spreadsheet excessible to everyone would be best, so everyone can add them when they find them? I would be happy to share m...

Re: Common Parts

I'd be happy to help format the spreadsheet in a way that makes it as easy as possible to add items... It could be a great resource.

Re: Seat belts for 1967 Dino coupe

If you have the caps at the base of your 2000 Coupe B-pillar, then I think you are all set for installing static three-point belts – and probably without having to remove the rear door cards.

Re: Seat belts for 1967 Dino coupe

I believe that's the recommended mounting point for a fixed shoulder belt indicated in the owner's manual diagram below. The black cap may have been standard for 2400 Coupes without belts or fitted by the specialist seat belt shop to cover the mounting for the old fixed belts. I was told by the spec...

Here are two photos of their installation for the front belts (not my actual car): FDBeltInstall08.jpg FDBeltInstall01.jpg Note how the belt is fed behind the rear armrest storage compartment to the inertia reel.

Re: Replacing seat cushions

All I know is that the front seats were nearly identical to those of the Lamborghini Espada, with the rear seats similar to a lesser degree. The Alfa Romeo Montreal seats are also the same shape as in the Dino coupe. Not that those matches would do anything for the price of replacement cushions... O...
