Re: Gemmer steering box

I should post some follow-up info. I do now have a good steering box in the car. My eventual solution was a used set of steering box internals bought locally. They were also badly damaged, but in a way I thought maybe more repairable. Mine had bad pitting on the worm's main steering surface/teeth = ...

Re: Fiat Dino Air Vents

Hello,

I see some PM messages asking for the 3D files - unfortunately the PM system isn't working for me and my replies are stuck in "outbox'.

If you email me at srlane61<at>gmail<punto>com then I will try to reply there.

Thanks,

-Richard

Re: Fiat Dino Air Vents

Reviving an old thread. The rear vents on my 2400 Coupe were looking a bit tired. I have a new 3D Printer so I thought I'd try to reproduce them. They turned out okay - if anybody would like the file to print their own then let me know. I didn't have any red filament to make the red Nike-swoosh unde...

Re: Dino Coupe door-lock plastic

also works well on your Lamborghini whose body was made by Bertone. Espadas and Urracos and such.

No replies so all of yours must be in better shape than mine were. :) Every time i locked the door another piece fell off.

Re: Clutch pressure plate

I have now completed the rebuild on my Fiat Dino 2400 Coupe - the engine and gearbox are back in the car and I've driven it a little. So I thought I should explain what I did to make the Superformance (SF) clutch kit work in the car. As a reminder from earlier in the thread: 1) the clutch pressure p...

Re: THE FIAT DINO CHASSIS-NUMBER MYTHOLOGY

Hi Erik, Thanks for the excellent research and write-ups - some great detective work. I see my car (2400 Coupe 4211) is mostly '?' characters in the 135BC table - so here is some info. 135BC0004211, Azzurro Metallizato (as far as I understand anyway) It seems to have been first registered in Abruzzo...

Dino Coupe door-lock plastic

I've been bothered for years about the state of the plastic door-lock surround - the cover for where the lock "knob" pops up next to the window. They seem to be made out of the same plastic that chocolates are packed in, and now they're all 50+ years old.. I got a 3D printer for Christmas ...

Re: 2400 Coupe engine rebuild

Hi,

still hoping to get some feedback on my questions above.

- Does the engine go back in with the exhaust manifolds attached?
- Anybody made the Superformance clutch kits work? If so, how?

and yes, that's a 1961 Giulietta SS.
