£9000 can get u a rust free black/cream interior e60 M5 with delivery mileage sitting at Royal Malaysian Customs warehouse in Kelana Jaya. It's opening bid is £925. Look it up for yourself if u don't believe me. U got extra £8000 for shipping/taxes and oil change. The car was impound when the dealer didn't pay the import duty on the M5 a C63 AMG and handful of other cars. The M5 is mint
Some people are idiots, you can't peen over a case hardened dowel cause it will just shatter. Just use a piece of mild steel or if ya wana get fancy maybe some stainless steel rod.
6:32, Nor sure what you are doing here, the outer of the bearings should be glued in not greased ( Loctite 641), by all means grease the bearings up. You don't want that bearing spinning in the body. The "spacers" are called shim washers and are incredibly important. They determine the position of the helical gear and if you don't get it right the whole rack will jam up. Good luck with the rest of the build, Mal.
The bit that sticks out of the bottom of the digital vernier gauge is a depth gauge so no need for the tape gauge. Also wurth bumper dye is a good product for black plastics which ive used, a bigger btl too.
Be very careful using the multi grips on the rack shaft splines. Use the coupler or wrap the splines in old leather and then multigrip. You destroy those and it’s a bad day at assembly time and or not to mention a major safety risk.
As others have said, you’ve gotta pack the bearings with grease before fitting them. And as for putting grease / oil on the outer for ease of fitting, forget it. They are such a close fit into the housings that it just gets wiped off as it enters.
@8:20. The shims would be for bearing pre load. They add \ remove tension on both bearings. Ferrari would no doubt do a load test much like when diff pre loads are checked.
That reminds me of my first Ferrari, a Mondial 8, the pinion gear stripped when I was driving it and entering a roundabout it needed about 25 turns to get round! I managed to get home and I bought a new rack, which was chromium plated, and after drilling out all the rivets holding the fibreglass lining into the luggage area at the front, set about replacing it. A right challenge as it would only go in from one side and then needing twisting and turning to avoid the frame etc. just like something off the TV show The Krypton Factor. Love watching what you do, I rebuilt several damaged Ferraris before HPI started keeping records of so called "write offs". Imagine the problems of finding parts before the Internet. Luckily, nearby is the only authorised Ferrari service centre that is not a dealership, run by Bob Houghton, who was so extremely helpful and friendly and went above and beyond to locate things for me and photocopying pages from workshop manuals etc.
For restoring/protecting black plastic I use kiwi black shoe polish. If used when the car is new then it will never fade. If used on faded plastic then you should apply with every wash to keep it looking good.
Unfortunately it’s much longer than the general viewing public, hence the lack of growth of followers and views😙 I follow this channel religiously but the wait on vlogs on the mainstream builds is just way to long …………….
I love how you don’t let fear hold you back from learning and pursuing a goal of getting this project completed. It’s going to be a banger of a ride when it’s done!
If you sit the end of your digital calipers on the ring the end that protrudes as you extend the calipers will go to the bottom of your hole and give you the precise measurement ;)
You have a vernier there, just use that to measure the length needed. That's why the vernier has the bit that sticks out the bottom as you slide the measuring part up and down.
Iim sure you're aware of this, but car manufacturers don't make components like racks, shocks, bearings'and seal etc and can be bought from the original manufacturers for considerable less when not supplied in a Ferrari box. For example, I bought front discs for one of my wife's cars for around £30. These also fitted a Lamborgini Gallardo, but I doubt they would have the price I paid. Great channel, by the way. It's going to look great when it's all sorted.
Always love the updates Scott. Can't wait for the next one for sure. Side note: The Ridge wallet is FANTASTIC! I've used one for years and have converted a ton of people.
Hi Scott, you need a good machine workshop that can fabricate all the parts you need. All these obsolete parts needs to be handmade by skilled people, and there are workshops that can do it for you. Mostly at a fraction of the price in trying to buy it from were you don't know the quality. All the best and keep on the good job.
Another excellent update to my favourite video series on UA-cam! That's a brilliant job on the mirrors; they really do come up looking like new, so well done. As ever, your skill, knowledge and sheer determination on this build are truly inspirational. This is going to be spectacular once it's finished 🙂
I am surprised that you don't have a local industrial hardware store that stocks those dowel pins. You will need stainless ones and the length is not that critical, because you can get a half dozen or so that are significantly longer than you need and just cut off the correct length with a Dremel cutoff wheel. You can trial and error it.
To measure the hole why not use the opposite end of your capliers.... the thin end that comes out when you move the caplier back and forth can be put in the bottom of the hole and the end of the caplier on the top of the bearing then the caliper will measure it.
You absolutely have to replace the internal bush. It's the one thing that nearly all the Ferrari racks need over and above all the other work you've done to it. If only you'd consult ANY recognised Ferrari expert or specialist you would learn this....
Yeah, I would likely pack the bearing with grease and then use something like green loctite between the outer race and aluminum housing. Might want to check on that, it was 2 months ago so maybe you figured it out.
On fixing the mirrors.. "they" on (uTube).. say that Armor Shield (Ceramic Coating) restores plastics & protects them.. but that might leave it shiny.. idk..
Just wanted to add that you should really look at getting engine, gearbox/transmission/drivetrain stuff WPC micro-shotpeened and cryo-treated. It's actually not even expensive and it has a surprising amount of benefits
When you slide open your calipers, you'll notice a metal prong protruding from the opposite end. This can be used to measure depth with decent precision 🤣
I still think that the plastic rejuvenator you've used is more cosmetic than anything. I would recommend Polytrol for a more robust solution to jaded plastic coverings
There are 3 different dowel fits that's why it was smaller than 4mm, the 3 are clearance, transition and interference. That was a transition fit dowel size 🤙
Afternoon Scott. You can buy a new tool kit and if need be a new steering rack from Eurospares Halstead Essex. They can supply any part for the BBi. They also sell the parts for every model of Ferrari. Regards Karl
Was shouting at the screen …. The depth gauge is on the end of your vernier ! and …. Pack the bearings with grease before you put them in ! They were almost dry. and …. I think, with new bearings, measuring the shims is important to get good gear contact.
Gotta be one of the most over engineered components of the most simple functions. A go cart has 4 components that accomplishes the same thing. That is why it is so expensive and why it failed. It is also why Ferrari is the “Rube Goldberg” (look it up if you are not familiar with the term) of the sports car world. Regardless, love your channel and content. Keep up the good work and I can’t wait to see you finish this project. Not knocking Ferrari at all, just pointing out that complexity drives cost and reduced reliability.
Hello. My thoughts on the pin on the steering rack. I think the pin is drilled in the rack as a locking pin when all is assembled? because you adjust the play on the joint with those two nuts?
If you don't have any graphite grease around and are trying to save money when working on ferraris, what you want to do is apply for credit and they will send you a plastic card in the mail for free, and then you can use that card, to scrape away any and all sebacious oils from your pores/pores and of family and friends and neighbors, then take apart a pencil and make powder from the pencil lead, mix it up with the sebacious oils and you also help reduce incidence industrial disease of a factory.
Hey because you used my suggestion on the pin does this mean I get a ride when you’re done with the car 😂😂. I would definitely hop across the pond to see that beauty 👍😉
A pair of mirrors, costs as much as a brand new wuling mini ev car!! What in the entire F!!K? Did paul mccartney make those with his own hands from scratch including mining the ingredients to make the plastic etc?
For the coolest wallets on the planet head to Ridge ridge.com/ratarossa. Get the best offer from now until March 26th!
Did you ever considered an electric power steering rack for the Bbi? 👨🔧
@@robertobuenrostro2781 yes I would have done that but really want to keep this car totally factory
👀 Seriously did you just use tape instead of the tool you used to measure it . Seriously my mind is blown 😂🤣😂

About measuring the depth of the hole: the vernier caliper has a function for that, the extender on the bottom. Keep up the good work! 🛠🏆
Dammmm I even know that ... must put my brain in gear next time
Indeed it does, I suspect it may be wider than 4mm though. I would have used a cocktail stick to measure the depth myself.
Came on here to say the same thing lol. I was fully expecting him to pull out a tape measure or something, then saw the vernier and went eh???
I still use 40yo analog Brown and Sharpe calipers.
@@Ratarossa Google the different measurements you can do with calipers, there's actually quite a few. It's easily the most used tool in my toolbox.

Please pack the bearings with grease when you reassemble the rack.
Do it properly force the grease into the bearings till it squishes out before refitting don’t just rub it on you tube it if in doubt 👍🏻👍🏻
shouldn't the grease go on the bearings not on the outer race which doesn't move :)
Always pack the bearings before you install ,, love the channel

The amount of moist in your outdoor Ferraris just makes me cry. Thats mould right there, kreepin & thrivin.

Great test of the bushing. Like you I would have thought the bush would be OK with relatively low mileage.
I admire your tenacity. You just keep plugging away. Well done!

I recommend using bright coloured gloves so you can see where the grease is on your hands.
You could have used the depth guage on the bottom of the calliper. Loving this project!!👍
I immediately thought the same thing.

I'm loving every minute of your Bbi rebuild. 👍👍 Thanks for sharing the journey with us!! 😁
Why are you greasing the outside of the bearing race? Surely it should be an interference fit and shouldn’t move at all let alone need lubricating
Yeah, I would likely pack the bearing with grease and then use something like green loctite between the outer race and aluminum housing. Might want to check on that, it was 2 months ago so maybe you figured it out.
****hey Scott, the back end of your calipers is a depth gauge. You can throw away your yellow tape tool. ✌🏻
Use the other end of the calipers to check the depth to determine the pin length.
Use the back end of the vernier caliper to get a better depth reading .
So long that it fits !
good call
Gtechniq C4 is also incredible for reviving plastics, definitely give it go Scott
Thank YOU for the update on your fascinating project 🍀🙌🏻❤️

I was going to say this!
Only half way through..... but shouldn't you be feeding/packing your bearings before install with grease..... ?
A bit more practice on the steering rack assembly won't hurt, it'll just save you time next time! Good to see your progress! 🙏🙏
Dude you dont know how close you are to what's also happened today on another steering rack
@@Ratarossa 😊😊
You should leave paint or product to gas off for good few weeks or months before ceramic coating
I still think that the plastic rejuvenator you've used is more cosmetic than anything. I would recommend Polytrol for a more robust solution to jaded plastic coverings

Dont ceramic coat the mirrors untill youve rebadged them. They will never bond onto ceramic coatings otherwise.
Was shouting at the screen …. The depth gauge is on the end of your vernier ! and …. Pack the bearings with grease before you put them in ! They were almost dry. and …. I think, with new bearings, measuring the shims is important to get good gear contact.
start figuring out how to use your caliper. In the end of it, you can measure depths of a hole as well. ;-)
Those new rack bearings looked very dry, shouldnt they be packed with the grease prior to the re-install?
I can’t wait to see that BBi when it’s all done!

Wouldn't the depth gauge on the other end of your digital Vernier's go down the hole in the steering rack?
yes it totally would dohhh
@@Ratarossa Well I used to use one everyday in Engineering, so it did raise a smile , keep up the great work.
Just for future reference upol do a texture in a can, all different and great if you catch a textured mirror or bumper

Check out what chops garage uses on his plastics. Aubrey.

With the mirrors, remember that the glass is different on each side between lhd and rhd
Updates on 360 carbon fiber mirrors? :)
11:57 Product Placement 😂 ,I thought it was real ,I was getting thirsty 🤠💯👍🇬🇧🤟
Cool tunes. It's like the soundtrack to the movie Escape From New Repair Costs.
Scott You do know that all those washers and shims are to get the correct clearance on the rack and pinion.
There are much better ceramic coatings for trim other than Avalon King.
Always fun to watch your videos, have a great day... 🙂
Had a Ridge wallet for the last 5 years. they are totally amazing and ill never use anything else!
Grease the bearings...👍
BBi update yay !
I have seen a heatgun used to restore plastic. it oxidises the surface and it look snew
why not use the depth function on the caliper for the pin hole?
"My Stupid £8 Mistake Cost Me Big on the Abandoned Ferrari 512 BBi" I don't see any cost, other than some extra time
Why didn’t you use the other end of the Calliper to measure the depth of the hole?
Your vernier caliper has a depth probe.
Scott, wasn't a stupid mistake; a calculated risk that didn't work out. I've made bunches of them.
1:58 You know you can measure the depth of a hole with the callipers, right?
Should have packed the bearings. But love the channel.
Hehehe great ide with your tape and things, why dident you just use the back side of your vernier caliper!!??
Remember the outer casings of bearings don’t move grease the ball bearings
Fab as always dude, from the guru
Would have been nice to see how an original mirror cleaned up
Please check a video on youtube on how to use the calipers.....
I don't suppose the previous owner kept the tool kit as a sneaky keepsake?
The car sat outside for 30 years. Unused
That whole boot suppose to be loaded with grease on new cars as well
Things are moving forward :). Did you took any decision regarding the red american Dodge SRT truck?
When you get parts in that r hard to find u should have them 3D Printed before u put it together
Awesome!!!!
Hears him mention the bushing as an 8£ part. **Glances at video title** uh oh. **sweatfrogs**
A heat gun would bring those ABS mirrors up like brand new.
A pair of mirrors, costs as much as a brand new wuling mini ev car!!
What in the entire F!!K?
Did paul mccartney make those with his own hands from scratch including mining the ingredients to make the plastic etc?
LOL
I really like the backing track, what is it?
Doing the things I don’t have the balls to do!
You know that you can measure depth with that caliper, right?
dohhhh i didn't even think !
Another great video
Team 24 Karat Gold 💯
Mitutoyo! Respect!
I think the bearings should be packed with grease
its all coming apart again
Did you buy the Viper truck?!?!?
It is about time you got back to your only REAL FERRARI !
I think old owners took kits etc
