Fiat Dino Forum (FDF)

Toby, I probably was using the wrong terminology - all brake calipers at 2 Litre Dinos have air bleeding valves. ("Air nipple" is probably not a correct term, at all. But, in Swedish, it is called just that - "luftnippel" !) Moose21 - After having looked at pictures of the master brake cylinder, I a...

The 2 Litre Dinos´ front calipers only have one air nipple each side, not two, as on 2,4 Litre Dinos. Many years ago, I tried using silicone-based brake fluid (CARTEL), and it was a complete disaster! It gave a brake pedal sinking into the floor mats before any braking power applied, and I bled and ...

Yes, all Fiat Dinos are using this relay, both 1987 cc and 2418 cc.

When you say "differential", which part/parts do you mean?
The actual differential housing, or a crown wheel and pinion set?

I have a perfect, used set of crown wheel and pinion for 2 litre Dino availible.
If interested, send me a PM.

This is very interesting, alfredhamstra! In my earlier debating this subject, I displayed an engine bay picture from my Fiat Dino Spider Owners Manual in German, printed in December 1967. I then mentioned some of the pics are showing a "late" 2 Litre Spider with the wooden dash, but some pics seem c...

As far as my own experience of the Dinoplex AEC 101 goes - yes, it can give a spark strong enough to keep your Dino running, but still deliver a weaker spark than it was designed to do. Remember these Dinoplexes are more or less 50 years old, and the components involved may have aged, and lost their...

There is a way making a simple test of the Dinoplex: 1. Disconnect the black wire from the distributor points connector, coming from the "D" connector at the ignition coil. 2. Disconnect the HT cable between the ignition coil and the distributor cap, at the distributor cap end. 3. Connect a suitible...

Scalino, I have tried the PEC mail address too, but that is not working at all. PEC seems to be a certification system, sending messages by a third, neutral party. As far as I understand, it is only working in Italy. My first e-mails to them was written in english, later I tried sending computer- tr...

Any member of the Forum having bought something from Gardaricambi.com in Italy lately? I am asking, because I have tried emailing this Company several times, without getting any response at all - which is a pity, because they seem to have some good stuff... (I have been using their email address: in...

Maduno, if you search for an old post: "Electrical problem, fuse keeps blowing" by "sveckan" 15 September 2014, you will find all about the safety switch no 75 ! Please note, when I refer to the safety switch as "no 73", I found that info in the 2,4 Spider Electric diagram. The 2,4 Coupe Electric di...
