Re: Dutch 2.4 Spider

Ciao Scalino, How about changing the switchplate of the new (non fitting) ignition switch into the old one? I had a similar problem to ours with my 2400 coupe and cured it with a new switchplate from holtmannn & Niedergerke. The old one was corroded, dirty and finally had burnt contacts. Georg i...

Re: Restored 2L Spider

Really concerning is the lack of any documentation of sills, A-posts and other structural areas.

Re: Air filter - aftermarket options

No, we did not measure the airflow directly - but the benefit of velocity stacks and cooler air intake temperature is evident for decades now and can be easily calculated.

Re: Air filter - aftermarket options

I went the opposite way - my focus was increased air flow, so I developed this solution in cooperation with Formula GT Munich on their dyno.

Re: Air filter - aftermarket options

2. the cylinders 2 and 5 get less air than the others

Furthermore, aftermarket filters in serial housing have no better air flow than the serial cartridge.
