Ferrari Mailing List: Re: In search of 308 GTSi roof locating pins (2)

[Peter Rychel (dino308gt4]

I doubt that there is a suitable replacement from another vehicle that would replace that.

 

Electrical tape would be a little too soft and may get chewed up over a short period of time. What you could try instead is that liquid rubber coating you dip stuff into. Just dip the pin into that, add what ever coats needed to build up a layer that would make it fit like original.

 

There may be other places that will sell this for less, but should give you an idea of what I’m talking about. Keep in mind, you can use this for other items as well (like tool handle, door knobs, etc) – you’ll certainly have enough of it!:

Subject: [Ferrari] In search of 308 GTSi roof locating pins (2)

 

I have my 308 roof in my living room, cleaning it, little touch ups here and there. Suddenly I noticed one the pins’ tip has no more rubber on it. So I looked for a new one on the internet and saw prices between $35.00 and $43.00 us. EACH plus shipping. Ridiculous. Has anyone changed them ? Any ideas on cheap replacements ? In the mean time, I’ll just add some black electric tape to make it more tight.
