While doing my major, I removed the FDs. There is an O-ring between the fuel distributor, and the air flow meter. They where both brittle.......an often un-checked area for vacuum leaks.

My usual Ferrari parts sources did not have this item.

I then found a source for metric O-rings. However, I had to buy 25 of them, and only need 2!

If anyone else needs some, let me know. How about $1 for 2? That would cover shipping.......in an envelope.

While doing the major, I ordered (thru Ferrari parts sources) numerous O-rings that where priced between $1.50-5.50+ each.

I am thinking of ordering different sizes of O-rings, but I have to buy them in bulk (about 25 each). These would include O-rings for various TR applications.

I could then sell these to members, at a more reasonable price.

We are only talking nickels and dimes, but I feel it is part of the fun of owning a Ferrari........trying to make the cost of ownership as reasonable as possible.

Any thoughts?
