Ferrari Mailing List: Re: dash 512 TR

[Matt Boyd (ferrari308driver]

One of my favorite Ferrari stories (although I didn't think it one bit funny at the time) was working on my Mondial back in probably 1996 and I had to replace a heater valve under the dash. I had drained the coolant but apparently there was still in the heater system because when I finally broke that hose free off the faulty heater valve I had a waterfall of coolant in my hair. I was actually at the Ferrari of Washington dealership at one of their now defunct shop days, and when I got myself uncontorted and out of there all the mechanics were laughing at me. I actually didn't care too much about the coolant in my hair, but instead I was panicked about all the coolant soaking into my brand new to me first Ferrari....

Ah....  Upside-down, head and neck craned in odd positions, no room for legs, arms twisted in positions that would make one seem like a spastic monkey....    You (née, we) are getting too old for that crap my friend!  I feel your pain just thinking about it...

What is the dashboard made out of on the TR? On my GT4, it's chopped-strand fiberglass.

I've had to replace the speedo, oil pressure and water temperature gauges in my car... Not a lot of room behind there for the wiring (rats nest big time!).

P.S. Did you include photos with this email? I don't see any if you did. I tried sending an email to the 'List a while ago with photos and it never made it.

It’s pretty straight forward actually

The big thing is when you take the dash POD out there are 2 channels which hold the pod in alignment at the bottom

If you are just swapping gauges it’s not a big deal

I was swapping pods so it took some trial and error and remember that the rear of the pod has 2 lip/channels that lock into place

you have to get that in first before you lower the pod into place and line up the channels at the bottom

also don’t remove the 2 nuts on the channels just loosen them enough to raise the pod out of the car.

Mark the 2 large white cables that go to the tach and speedo they look the same so just mark one so when you re install it will be a no brainer

After you get it all back together turn the master battery on( you did turn it off first didn’t you?) and check all the functions and I mean everything to include rear window de fog and fog lamps

Re install the lower bolster and youre done

It will take 2 people to re install the lower bolster other than that this is a one man job
