New to forum from Boulder USA Past Owner of 74 & 76 Gordini

Well slightly. About a year ago I had the car wrapped. The color was as close as I could get to the original color.

The original paint is still underneath the wrap.

Hello you have change the color of your car ?

Help needed,

I short time ago, I go to my garage to show my 75 Gordini to my friend, I mounted my refurbished Chromadora Wheels, I will post pictures.

I went to open my hood (bonnet) and the hood only releases from the drivers side, the passenger side remains locked. :-(

I recall there is a procedure, I Believe I have done it once, where from underneath the car you push up on the release latch (mechanism) with a piece of wood or a long screw driver.

Does anyone have a link to this procedure?

Thank you very much for your help my friends.

Amicale,

Steve

Hello Steve
MR 186 sheet P-30

My dear friend,

Thank you very very much!

Steve

Problem solved, the book pictured approach was not working for me. Access from the bottom without a lift and clearance was very limited.

I used Michel's suggestion of removing the headlight trim and removing the front hood bolts.

With a long flat piece of steel I had I was able to release the latch.

Hood released.

The problem was the cable was slipping from the nylon mounting point. I used a zip tie, what we call in the US and secured the end of the cable in a way it would not slip.

Life is good, thank you my friends.

I also continue to play with wheels for me car.

I have had these Gotti wheels for some time. Michel sent them to me and then I had them repaired in the US.

But I wanted different colors. I originally repainted in Silver, but have tried one in white to see how it looks and how it changes the personality of the car.

While it took me about 3 days for the first wheel, I only have limited time to work on the wheel, I am happy with the results.

I will post pictures when I get farther along with a second wheel and then mount on one side to see the look of the car

I hope all is well with my friends, Covid is on a rampage here.

Be well my friends,

Steve

My next request

Rénovation de vitre électrique

I know this might sound crazy but the previous owner of my 1974 had swapped out pieces from an earlier 1973 to make a power windows on the 1974 I had which I sold :-) to a very nice guy.

My question is, and I have tried to search has anyone retofitted power front windows onto our R15/R17's.

Using factory parts and even the potential of non factory parts. My 1973 has them and somewhere in my parts I have the Amicale replacement gears for that day. I will have a very hard time finding them

As always any and all help is appreciated. I love my cars more now than ever, I can drive them more here in Florida.

Amicale!

Hello Steve,
I don't know of any difference between phase 1 and phase 2, or 73 and 74, front power windows.
But hand the manual glass mechanism isn't the same for electric glass.

About the these Gotti, personally, I prefer them in 2 colors.

Thank you Michel.

Do you know of anyone who has the power window parts for a swap?

I know the likelyhood is very low but thought I would ask.

Be well my friends.

What do you need, the 2 mechanisms alone?

Ideally I would like the mechanisms (electric motor,) and wiring harness.

But I could probably make a harness with a wiring diagram.

The mechanisms which I assume come with the electric motors are what I will need.

Thank you,

Steve

D'après ce lien les moteurs sont communs avec beaucoup de voitures Italiennes.

Philippe, ça ne correspond pas à ce qu'il y a sur nos auto. Compliqué à adapter.

Je me posais la question, Michel merci de ta réponse....

il faudrait vérifier le diamètre de l'axe et l'entre axe des 2 fixations. Et l'encombrement général.

Steve , I think I have

Mechanisms :



About gears, do you have new gears in brass ? those are broken !

Michel,

Thank you, getting these would be great!

The gears I did buy, but got lost in the move also, so I would need another set, perhaps I could ask for your help in repairing these, I will of course reimburse you

I read the note about the motors with the mounting thoughts.

This is a project I really want to complete.

I know this will sound a little crazy, but it will make me closer to my dream car, which is something of importance to me.

Thank you for your help.

Amicale,

Steve
