I have two Fiat Dino Spider 2000 Series 1 (1967), and neither of them has a protective metal pan under the radiator (engine coolant). The radiator sits on a cross member... and there's nothing under the cross member. In front of it is a body panel. Attached are two photos... and also on the exploded...

Instead of cadmium plating, they'll likely use yellow galvanizing. This is a two-stage zinc-based coating. First, a zinc coating is applied by electrogalvanizing, and then it is treated with a chemical passivation that gives it its yellow color. I had most of my metal parts (brake calipers, bolts, n...

hi Gaelicguy..

Since the use of cadmium, a (highly) toxic heavy metal, is now banned by law in many countries (including the EU), galvanization is now used.. yellow, blue, silver or black galvanization

there is nothing wrong with them..

but I have 2 Fiat Dino Spider 2000 and only one pair of sill plates..
