Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 308/Mondial window motor current

[rolindsay (rolindsay]

Thanks for all the good comments everyone. Please remember that the Italians 
are not content with introducing just one problem at a time. The issue here IS 
unlubricated motors and dried up hard grease on the worm gear AND it is 
electrical. You guys may not remember that I addressed this same issue on my 
GTB. I rebuilt the motors and cleaner/lubed the worm and worm gear.and the 
motor assemble ran great!  It just couldn't do its job properly on 9 volts!  

So the answer is not to radically change the engineering, per se, but rather, 
to repair/replace components suffering from  25+ years of wear and corrosion. 
And that means repairing motors, gearboxes, switches, connectors and 
inadequate-to-start-with wires. That describes my workplan. 

Sorry for the lack of political and economic content. 

Rick

Hans, your observation is absolutely 100% correct about that male gene 
responsible 
for an omnipreseent nagging urge to improve.

Whether in the engine bay, with the styling, the interior, the handling, or the 
audio.
These 4 wheeled boxes present no end of opportunity test changes, some of which
are worthwhile, but primarily changes which a man can come up against a machine 
and determine the victor.

Plus everyone has an opinion, a favorite brand, a favorite tool, and a favorite
beverage to grease the job.

And it's maritally sanctioned, because If we weren't making mods we'd be out 
chasing wild ones.

Before my dad left, he told stories about soupin the 'T'.  High school in the 
'20s everyone 
had a model T and readied them for all matters of racing.   I could have lived 
life to it's fullest 
back then too.

Women may have their counterpart concerning drapes or soufle's or ??    

Now then, buy a new car and take it to the dealer every 6 months for a checkup? 
 
Where's the danger, the excitment, the flirting with burning up the engine 
compartment?
