Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Bosch injection rebuild

[Erik Nielsen (judge4re]

I've been restoring my QV for a while now (much longer than I would have liked), the latest issue we ran into was the fuel distribution unit.  The vendor that was listed was sent the unit back in June and I only received the rebuild for it last month.  Took a few hours to get it back in the car and the thing leaks.  Needless to say, I've been less than thrilled with the results.  I don't yet have an ETA on the turn around, but I know that there is an issue with the availability of the seals for the inside of the unit.  I'm guessing the next layer subvendor still doesn't have their act together.  The seals do go bad and this is going to be an issue for these cars going forward.

YMMV,

Erik

Most parts except frequency valve and damper are available. They either don’t want to work on it and/or don’t know where to get Parts.

Have a local client with a 1985 Mondial coupe that hasn't run in 12-14 years.  Says when he purchased it he knew it needed a clutch slave cylinder, a major service and possibly has injection issues.  Spoke to my local shop and they said that because many Bosch injection systems are not rebuildable and parts not available that they don't want to mess with it.  Two questions for you guys ... maybe 3.

1.  Is this Bosch system rebuildable, if so who does this? 

2.  Any recommendation for a shop in the Midwest (Nashville, Indy, St Louis, Louisville etc) that would be recommended to work on this car?  I know of a shop in Louisville and Detroit but didn't know if there were other recommendations from the list. 

3.  This is basically a 308 - if the Bosch system isn't serviceable how hard is it to convert to carbs?
