Fiat Dino Forum (FDF)

Hi Ben. Can you post some details of the urethane softener and the hard black urethane that you mentioned as I would like to experiment in making certain parts.

I never found these parts. The bonnet release rubber in the photo is my own attempt at manufacture .

There should be a spring , which fits on the lower bracket. I will try and get a photo if possible.

The recess in the gasket prevents it from moving . If you really wanted you could put a dab of contact adhesive between the gasket and bumper. That is what was also used to hold on the rubber boot seal, the front wing rear seal,the sill seals and door jam seal.

You should tape up the wing area then trial fit the bumper to make sure there is a tiny gap.,when satisfied then refit with the rubber end gaskets. If you have compression this will eventually lead to the bumper splitting the gasket.

I would use a thin wide metal spatula and slide it between the bodywork and trim ,note there are two clips within that you must avoid,then gently ease the trim off. Do not use screwdiver or similar as this will mark the paint and trim.

Hi Dario, thanks for the reply but those clips are not the same dimensions as on my 2.0 coupe. See the one on the right on my drawing with approximate sizes.

Does anyone know where else to buy the trim clips for the chrome strip that runs down the side of the coupe bodywork. The ones from dinoparts are too expensive at €233 for a handful of plastic clips.I have found these which are the same type but I believe a different size. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm...

I have never seen a 2.0 grill with any paint on and I have seen a great many cars.
