Need to find Dinoplex AEC 101

Hi,

The Fiat Dino Spider we are working on did not come with a Dinoplex. Where can I buy one of the new castings? We want the car to look as stock as possible. Of course, we may even consider an original unit!

Thanks,

Westley

Re: Parts needed for 1967 Spider

Hi Bob, Thanks for the reply. FWIW, we had to send the rotors back to MR Fiat as they were the same ones we received from Superformance. Superformance sells the same rotors for the rear and the front. They are not interchangeable. The rears are 250mm and the fronts 270mm. As of today, I have ordered...

Re: New windshield does not fit

The car is a spider. The glass is not quite as thick as the original, nor does it have the same curvature as the original at the bottom of the windshield. I think that the original windshield has too many scratches to be polished out.

New windshield does not fit

Hi, We have put the windshield in the 67 Dino we are restoring and have found that it is thinner and does not have the same radius curve on the bottom where the glass meets the cowl. Does anyone have any information or work arounds for this? What do you do? Is there a supplier that has the correct t...

Re: Parts needed for 1967 Spider

Hi, I wanted to update the parts "needed" list. We may have found the correct rotors for the front brakes--hold you breath. Supposed to show up in March. I don't know where "Mr. Fiat" is getting them from, but they say they have found the correct ones for us THIS TIME. Also neede...

Re: Parts needed for 1967 Spider

Hi Dinoverde, Thanks for the reply. Can you send me a picture of the fluid reservoirs? We are looking for them to be as they looked when new, not yellowed as ours are. Thanks for the note about the brown hose. I actually found the brown hose when I was searching for yellow, but did not realize that ...

New to the forum

Hi, I am new to the forum. I work in a shop in Northern California and we are restoring a 1967 Fiat Dino Spider. This is without a doubt the hardest car to find parts for that I have ever dealt with. A real close second to a Nash Healey that is also in the shop, but that is another story. I have bee...
