Another good idea..most modern and some old cars have got double cables for opening boots or petrol caps..even my fiat x19 has got a double cable for the boot!well done 👏

@pauliecabs 2 года назад

Thanks, you never know what might happen with these older cars!

@16jan1986 3 месяца назад

As a engineer i would feed it through the return spring hole.... But i looks like it is possible to make a small bracket to a solenoid so you could make a electric boot release as. Backup

@pauliecabs 3 месяца назад

That's a good idea. Might be something for a future episode!

@Metal_Wolter Год назад

Good idea and a nice instruction video. No rocket science here... as is most of the barchetta. Thanks mate!

@pauliecabs Год назад

Thanks! It might not happen...but you never know!

@pauliecabs 2 месяца назад

Thanks. I know, I don't know how else to get in if the cable stops working

Hi! Nice videos? Do you still have it? I had one and got it perfect.. then sold it... I regret it and I'm thinking of buying another. You're getting me interested again. They're great fun and a good future investment (to convince the wife..). Richard

@pauliecabs 2 месяца назад

Hi yes, still have it. Will be making more videos again very soon. They are still quite reasonably priced but it's getting harder to pass the emissions test each year. Can't apply for historic status on mine until it's 30 years old which would get around that.

@langheproperty 2 месяца назад

@@pauliecabs Ah happy you still have it! It's a little easier here in Italy. Historic status is after 20 years. I have an Alfa Brera now but that is staying for sure. If I do get one be sure to drive down in yours. I'm in north Italy, 30 mins from Turin. Look forward to your new videos!

Bonjour. Avez vous un problème d enroulement des ceintures de sécurité qui ont des difficultés à s enrouler. Toto pour les remplacer ?, merci pour vos vidéos très ludiques 👍👍👍

@pauliecabs 2 года назад

Oui j'ai le même problème. Je ne suis pas sûre de pouvoir régler ça. Je ferai peut-être une vidéo à ce sujet à l'avenir.

@mrb3673 Год назад

@PaulieCabs have you tried spraying some silicon spray into the mechanism where the belt retracts into? Use a little, and gently pull out the belt a few centimeters at a time, repeat until it starts to work. Worked for me, I think the mechanism just dried out over the years and needed lubrication 👍

@papercut1987 Год назад

14:44 ... and that's the moment you realize the convertible lever might fail too. now you want another backup system for that also. :p

@pauliecabs Год назад

Yes! That would make a good future episode!

@mrb3673 Год назад

The boot release lever on mine has snapped below the keyhole and I can't open the boot. I've sourced another lever, is it simply a case of undoing the 2 screws, removing it, unattaching the wire behind it, and connecting to the new one and screwing back in? Thank you!

@pauliecabs Год назад

Sorry never done this so can't help. I'm sure there's something on fiatforum about this so you could try there.

@mrb3673 Год назад

@potatoejoe2215 Год назад

Back in 1996 I simply installed a remote control driven opener together with the doors.

@pauliecabs Год назад

It's an interesting upgrade. I recently saw the kit for doing the remote control but that was just for the doors. It might do for a future episode!

@angefrancis9794 11 месяцев назад

what diameter of the cable and how many LB Thank you

@pauliecabs 11 месяцев назад

I've used braided line not nylon. It's 0.50mm and 105lb. If you need a bit more detail it's around 4:50 in the video. Good luck!

@dirkschmahlenberg2290 Год назад

Perfekt

@pauliecabs Год назад

Thanks!

@MrNomadnero 2 года назад

What do you do if the cable for the hood top breaks at the same time? Only joking, Ive just done something very similar on a different car with a choke cable. It never crossed my mind to do this on the B. Something to think about.

@pauliecabs 2 года назад

Lol that would be real bad luck! I think it's just reachable even if your B is that cursed!
