Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Door jam switches wanted (308)

[mysavard (mysavard]

Thank you. Pelicans has it (no photo) for $83. Stoddard for $40 (with picture but the male lead is a bit different than what I need). I had already ordered them (3) from Eurospares for 9 pounds each plus shipping. But they are not exactly the same. When I complained (with pictures), the employe said that's what Ferrari offers as alternative. Very disappointing.

So, those Eurospares switches come with a sort of wing with a tiny hole. I had to make tiny holes in my 2 door plaques to use rivets to make the switches stick to the plaques. Plus, I had to bend the male lead to about 45 degrees to get it straight up. That was very scary. It would have been easy to break it.

AHHHHH! The joy of working on a 42 years old car.

Next weekend, I'm getting my clock out. It still works fine, but I can't change the time anymore. That little arm to change time is not doing anything. A watch repairman friend accepted the challenge.

One of the best sources for reasonably priced Porsche parts is "Pelican Parts."  They are great to work

with.

I got prices around $28 u.s. to 27 gbp (Maranello Concessionaires) on Internet. Eurospares (England) has used ones for $5.50 but the shipping cost and customs will jack up the price by a lot.
