Fiat Dino Forum (FDF)

The only difference between the REAR sections of the exhaust system for a 2 litre Spider or a 2 Litre Coupé is the length behind the rear rubber mount. You just have to add 150 -200 mm or so, of metal pipe - to move the chromed end pipe backwards. Otherwise they are identical. The FRONT sections for...

Hi, GaryS! If looking at the Spare Parts Catalogue pages (below), both the 2 Litre Spider no 0636 and the 2 Litre Coupe no 1883 are claimed to be equipped with "the earlier" cable throttle system from factory. The cable is no 4161638 or 4173435, depending on length. At certain details, FIA...

This subject has been discussed before. Search the Forum for "Wiring electrical window" from June, 2020. If you want the keep your original window switches, you have to include a polarity change relay - like the relay shown below - one for each side: At the original switches, use only no 2...

Macaco, you are absolutely right. In my list, I have used a small " - " sign, to indicate when no chassis numbers are shown in the Spare Parts Catalogues. Concerning the Spider, the wooden steering wheel was first to be seen in a picture of AS000 0526, but re the Coupes, I have never found...

Among Fiat Dino 2,0 Litre owners, it seems to be some confusion over when the switch between "the first series" and "the second series" was made. Mike Morris tried classifying the 2 Litre production in "early" and "late" cars, but a problem (already) with that...

When I restored my Dinoplex AEC101 four years ago, it was fairly easy finding all the 25 different components. But how is it today? As Tobi reported not being very successful, I thought I´ll give it a try: All the resistors, capacitors, diodes, transistors and the thyristor still are availible at di...

Any well-assorted store for electronic components should be able offering you the different components inside the AEC 101. Most components are basic ones. I have done a complete exchange of all these 25 components in my old, non-working AEC 101, with support from Adrian´s excellent Dinoplex.org site...

The two sets of breaker points are "working together" in such way that the ignition is fired every second time from each set of points. In your case, it is most likely one of the breaker point sets that has stopped working. To fully understand how the distributor is working, the best way i...

First, it is obvious (already from your photo of the chassis number) that some "metal work" has been done there... This 2 Litre Dino Coupe really creates some questions! Is this Dino actually registrated somewhere with this fake identity? Is there any documentation left from its "pre-...

All Fiat Dino chassis number plates should show the "seven-digit number", following the FIAT "chassis number plate standard" of the period. As already suggested, the reason for using a long line of zeros before the actual chassis number must be to prevent any kind of tampering wi...
