Veloce or Normale

- continued from Page 1 -

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 driver’s 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.
