Oh yeah how much "I loved" this work with the wire spool of the manual window crank mechanism its the same stuff on my 1965 Fiat 2300S Coupe :-) Dont use too hard modern wire from bike brakes (if you have to rewire that thing)! That hard wont spool right and wear off quite fast. You need soft wire that you can get from ultralight plane supply. Your Ferrari is made from lots of Fiat/Alfa/Lancia parts even the cranks are the same :-) Great work you do! Always re use the weatherstripping foil otherwise the door cover will warp when moisture comes through.

Welcome to my channel! The information may be a little esoteric, but invaluable and fun to share with the few people who care to see old Ferraris beyond the normal content!
I wonder if that cable mechanism is fro a 1960's Fiat, Alfa Romeo or Lancia? Pininfarina loved to use those cable operated systems on the car bodies it built. Bertone not so much on Bertone bodied cars..
Taking the other door apart risks breaking clips and parts. I would only do it if I had to. Work around these old cars long enough and you know better!
Always makes me nervous when someone says a vintage European car has phillips screws 1:50 ...are you sure they aren't Pozi as in Pozidrive? Use a phillips screwdriver on a pozi screw and you'll bugger it up if someone hasn't already buggered it!!!
Very interesting, I wouldn't have bet an expensive Euro car would have phillips. Generally it's American junk/cheap cars that use phillips. Thanks for the reply!
Gorgeous car Tom. I’m interested to know what age bracket your customer falls into? We hear a lot about the market for these cars drifting off as we Boomers grow older each year. I’d love to think this beauty has been snapped up by a Gen Zer! 🙂
The buyer is an old customer of mine that's a little older than me. There are some theories that the 60-70s cars are going to fall in price because their owners are aging out, and the GenZs are not buying them, but whether that is true or not may not affect the Ferrari market as much. Ferraris are rare, and there will always be someone that wants one. Prewar cars like Packards may be falling in price, but Bugattis are still strong. I believe it's all about rarity and production numbers.
@ I hope you’re right Tom. And I think you may be. I think the 60s will continue to be an effortlessly cool period and the coolest of the cars that went along with that period should maintain their value. I hope so!

Like the watch repair guys who film everything they do in case they forget how it goes back together....
@@maoxian the best tool since digital still cameras!
Nice job!! Lucky find in the parts bin!! Beautiful car, in really nice condition. Best wishes to the new owner!!
It's always nice to have a parts stash!
An issue that ends well; nice job !
These jobs could have turned nasty. I lucked out that day!
GOOD VIDEO!!!
thanks!
what a beautiful car! Yeah a functioning window is a must and a very nice tidy repair. Fortuitous find in the parts bin! great video. thank you!
It's always nice to have a parts stash of Ferrari parts!
I have done quite a few window regulators over the years, so this is fascinating to watch. Never seen one done with cables like this.
almost all the VIntage Ferraris have these cables.
@@tomyangnet So do older Alfa Romeos and Fiats. The Italians seem to love using those cable window regulator systems.
Yes had the same issue on a Lamborghini urracco with snapped cables on an electric window, took me forever to sort it out myself 🤪
I feel your pain!

Great video+explanation+presentation! Thank you for sharing! Well done mate - NEW SUB 🙏🏻

If I mail you my door can you….. 😂
I've done a bunch of these things. Sometimes you get lucky, but most of the time, it's a lot of frustration! Good luck with yours!
@@tomyangnet I did mine once. They’re not perfect but I’m not going back there again .

A lot of Italian cars used something similar. I know Pininfarina and Scaglietti did!
To determine how the cable is routed, why not just look at the cable routing of the passenger door?

60s Ferraris have Phillips.

I hear BMW electric windows use cables and is amusing to repair hope mine never breaks.
Be happy you haven't had the pleasure of working on window winder cables. You can live vicariously through me!

italian engineering ?
These cable mechanisms are in all the Vintage Ferraris I work on, and were in cars built into the 80s!
@@tomyangnet I could never figure out how you fixed this , You are a great mechanic !
Looks like you 'wound up' with a 'cranky' problem but found a 'window' to the solution like Henry Ford used to say 'Don't find fault, find a remedy!'
I'm glad it wound up working again!
