Ferrari Mailing List: Re: My God, it's full of parts!

[stephen (stephensherman44]

That is whay at age 60 (2005) when I bought my 308 it had to fuel injected and electronic ignition - my eyes and fingers are not what they used to be- I remember rebuilding a cluster gear for my old Triumph, using grease to hold the needle bearings in place

in the hot sun.

Like Larry says, 'doing it yourself give you a sense of satisfaction' but I like to add 'you know the job was done right the first time'!

Also you are more carefull when you take it apart than the typical shop where the mechanic breaks it and the customer pays for

the replacement part.

Hello Ed, et al.,

Thanks!   Its going back together now, at least the carpet bit.  I am still cutting
pieces from bulk carpet and waiting for edge binding for a few pieces but the ugly
work is done.  The new A/C parts are being manufactured and they will go in easily
as the requirement is for easy plug-n-play.  We will then have a KIT to upgrade any
308 to modern A/C without changing the appearance or making any irreversible
changes.  More on that as it evolves.

Here's a look at the new carpet, trial fitted to the rear bulkhead.

It matches the new upholstery quite well.

Nice to hear from you Ed, BTW!

Hello Friends,



I'm in the middle of a big project, and sadly haven't kept my

old friends updated.  Sorry about that.  Here's a couple of

pictures to give away part of the story.

If interested, go up a level to the ./hvac/* directory and have

a look at the rest of the picture.
