Alas, I didn't see that pin... I ended up marking the set-nuts on the turnbuckle adjuster bolt and then unthreading it...
Then I log in to read Denis's "Whatever you do" warning NOT to do what I had JUST done... (a recurring theme in my life).
So, last night a friend from the Ferrari world (who is helping me on this project) and I went to go see that 'other' goose in town.
Lee, you might recognize this one
I wanted to get a look at a proper engine bay... While 898 seems to be very original, Various parts have been replaced over the past 53 years and not always with the correct parts.
@johnnywoods I've been pouring over the gorgeous engine bay restoration you were kind enough to document online. I wanted to ask about the zinc/passivate plating that you had done, was that personal choice, customer request or "factory correct"? I love the look, but haven't seen much of that in other Mangusta pics... Of course rattle can black spray paint IS a cheaper solution many others (including msyelf) have turned to from time to time.
