Ivan you might find a visit to Tyrells classic workshop on you tube interesting. He does lots of work on classic Ferrari and Lamborghini cars and has videos on how he sets up and balances multi carburettor setups. You might find it interesting or helpful in some way. Nice toy to have looking forward to some good videos and exploit tales. 😂

Congrats on the purchase of the GTB 308. If you said that the car is fibreglass, then it's the early Vetroresina (glass resin), very collectible. When using the 2 carb balancers in one carb, it might be a good idea to check their accuracy to each other by swapping them on the carb chokes.

A bit of nostalgia with this one. I had a fibreglass 308 back in the early 80s. WHO308, Ex Roger Daltrey. I was in my early 20s at the time. Could never insure it now! Last I heard of it, it had been modified for the Challenge Cup and was going through H&H in a poor state. So that’s one less of the 150! Good luck with this one.

Looks like BSAU145D licence 'plates on it..?, must be relatively new items. (narrow letters and numbers) if the width is available on the car, an improvement would be BSAU145A 'plates with the 'proper' digits, or better still custom made period style aluminium ones. Fantastic motor, i can see trouble getting both vacuum gauges to seal into those throats that are a wee bit close together. Doing it by earole would probably get you most of the way there, especially with someone who's been doing it for years. I still sometimes see hoses and pipes on sale without the proper SAE rating for ethanol doped petrol, and the bloody things rot quite quickly. Old stock that people are trying to shift no doubt.

My understanding is that the first series of 308s were fibreglass, not as a special, lightweight competition model, but rather because it was easier/cheaper to manufacturer the complex shapes and curves. And that the later, steel bodied models were more desirable because the bodies didn’t crack like the fg models. But I could be way off the money with this.
@lyntonfiammetta2 ай бұрын
Enzo fell out with the fibreglass guys who manufactured them off site .Partly as sales picked up eclipsing the earlier released GT4 he moved to steel in house because it was faster manufacturing process and more profitable as lower costs in materials and man hrs .Nothing to do with racing .The GT 4 Dino was developed and run in La Mans ….eventually thought that’s another story .
