Car Forum / Ferrari Cars / June 2008512TR Instrumentation
Anyone know of a source to get new gauges? Also maybe an aftermarket source that may be able to update them to digital? The instrument clusters on the 550, 575, and 430's are so depressing I can't stand it. The gauges look like they are from 1975. The burning red numbers and needles on the 288 GTO's and Testarossa - 512M are awesome in my opinion. The new stuff holds no interest for me. Also with Testarossa/512 seats how does Classiche update them or replace them when they aren't being made anymore and when Connolly is out of business and not making hides for Ferrari anymore? Best & thanks, D.H. > Anyone know of a source to get new gauges? > > Also maybe an aftermarket source that may be able to > update them to digital? You're kidding right? If not, try 1980s Vettes. > The instrument clusters on the 550, 575, and 430's are so > depressing I can't stand it. [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > The new stuff holds no interest for me. Join the club. > > Also with Testarossa/512 seats how does Classiche update AFAIK, Classiche hasn't weighed in on these cars yet. They say that they deal with "Ferrari's GT cars over 20 years old" which would qualify the early cheese graters, but 99.9% of Classiche's focus is pre 1980 carbed cars. > them or replace them when they aren't being made anymore > and when Connolly is out of business and not making hides > for Ferrari anymore? There are Connolly hides out there for a price. Also, there are German hides that look the part and actually are better than original. > Best & thanks, > > D.H. >There are Connolly hides out there for a price.

Nope, I mean exactly what I wrote. I'm putting German leather in my GTE and I'd never put Naugahyde in any Ferrari unless it came that way from Pininfarina.
