Because it can be made
by simply folding and welding sheet metal, it is sometimes
added to Normales. Both Veloces and Normales have an
air scoop for the passenger compartment. The Veloce
uses a split scoop with two hoses, one for the carbs
and one for the driver.
Duct Holes
Some 750 and all 101 Spiders and Sprints have two holes
for air ducting on the drivers side fender well;
however, only the Veloces use both holes. (Those 750
chassis that started with only one duct hole had a second
hole cut into the fender well when the factory built
them as Veloces.) On Normales the front hole is covered
by a sheet metal plate fastened on by screws. On Veloces
the front hole provides air from the front air scoop
to the air cleaner. On both Normales and Veloces the
rear hole provides air to the passenger compartment.

Torque Limit Bumper
On both Spider and Sprint Veloces a torque limit bumper
is mounted to the left frame rail directly below the
left motor mount. The torque limit bumper consists of
a welded section with a rubber stopper screwed into
it. Sometimes this bumper will be part of the left engine
mount. The bumper keeps the engine from moving too much
under hard acceleration.
Trunk Floor
Sprint Veloces have larger fuel tanks than Normales
(21 gallons vs. 12 to 13 gallons). To accommodate the
larger fuel tank in the 750 and 101 Sprint Veloces,
a ridge was added to the trunk floor to provide clearance
for the overflow tube on the tanks. The ridge runs from
the filler hole forward to the front of the trunk. Spiders
all use the same fuel tank.
