Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Unwritten Italian labor law

[Doug and Terri Anderson (dnt]

>> Rick notes "To remove ANY part from a Ferrari first requires that you
remove EVERY other part!"

And in addition - the other parts are either pop-riveted or glued into
place.

And a word to the gentle 308 public.  Careful careful careful when removing
the single 8mm Allen bolt from the seat track.  Should it be jammed or
otherwise not yielding to copious amounts of torque - take your time and
figure out why and make some allowances.  OTHERWISE one risks the chance of
snapping off the 'captured' nut in the frame tubing thus allowing said nut
and bolt to twirl with NO immediate means to grab offending nut.  NOW to
then GETTING to that now twirling nut requires much thot as to "how?"  Not
the least of which is boring a hole thru the belly pan and tubing EGG-ZACTLY
under the errant twirling nut and bolt to get a proper purchase on the
offending nut.

Sometimes this incites thots of homicide.  Gotta love our EYE-talian cars,
eh?  Even tho the factory (sounds of angels singing and trumpets blaring)
made only 3 or 4 a day that in itself does NOT guarantee wonderful post
assembly maintenance.
