Re: Fiat Dino 2 Litre rear axle ratio exchange

I have done a new, quick research for the Fiat 4154471 ring & pinion gear set, and I found three Italian companies and one from France, listing these rare gear sets: Berni Motori SRL, Italy Bacci Romano.com , Italy Auto Retro Services, France Garda Ricambi, Italy Concerning Berni Motori SRL, I w...

Re: DASH VENTS for

Hi, if you visit Ebay and search for "Bocchetta diffusore aria centrale Autobianchi A112"
you will find at least a very similar looking dash vent.

Re: Fiat Dino 2 Litre rear axle ratio exchange

Unfortunately - no. The basic Fiat 124/125 models used a assortment of similar, but not the same rear axle parts. The different ring & pinion gear sets, for instance, are smaller/weaker than the Dino parts. There were several gear ratios availible - like 10:43 - but that doesn´t mean these parts...

Re: Fiat Dino 2 Litre rear axle ratio exchange

Many thanks for kind comments. It has been a lot of work finishing all this, but also very rewarding, if looking at the outcome. Here comes some more info: This project actually started with a search for a machining shop, competent enough to be able fabricating new gear wheels with a higher gearing,...

Fiat Dino 2 Litre rear axle ratio exchange

When cruising your Fiat Dino in 110 - 120 Km/h, you probably are in a constant search for a 6:th gear... If you own a 2 Litre Fiat Dino, there is no "long 5:th gear option" to install, like the alternative 5:th gear set for the 2,4 Litre/ZF Dino. I have now finished a project which maybe c...

Re: "Time warp" Dino Spider 2400

Hi, rozznzwpi! Yes, I have also spotted this "rumour" about "the lengthened 2,4 Litre Spider body" now and then. But, if you think about it: None of the actual changes done to the 2,4 Litre Spider demanded a stretch of the structural design or the outer body panels. Besides that,...

Re: "Time warp" Dino Spider 2400

Having read the description text re this 2,4 Litre Spider, I have noticed some strange statements. Claiming the car is totally untouched cannot be correct. Looking at the pics, I spotted some minor, but uncorrect details: 1. The door inner handles seem to have been replaced. (Fiat 124 Spider part?) ...

Re: Bleeding Brakes

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...

Re: Bleeding Brakes

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 ...
