F. 308 Type1 Wheel Covers

The detail that makes a difference in your Ferrari 308 slot

The hubcaps are one of those elements that, at first glance, seem minor, but define whether a slot miniature conveys authenticity or appears generic. The F. 308 Type1 Hubcap (ref. AV20765) from Avant Slot is specifically designed for the Ferrari 308 model in its Type1 version, ensuring a fit and visual finish consistent with the rest of the bodywork.

Function and performance

This hubcap serves a dual purpose: on one hand, it covers the wheel hub, restoring the original appearance of the real car; on the other, it contributes to the overall presentation of the model, especially important in display or competition where detail matters. As an official replacement part from Avant Slot, it fits precisely into the designated housing for the Type1 without the need for additional adjustments.

Compatibility

This hubcap is designed for the Ferrari 308 Type1 models from Avant Slot. If you have doubts about whether it corresponds to your exact car reference, check reference AV20765 against your kit or complete car number. Avant Slot accurately distinguishes between Type1 and Type2 variants to avoid fitting incompatibilities.

Assembly and preparation

The installation is straightforward: the hubcap is placed over the corresponding wheel hub following the same process as the original component. It does not require special tools or adhesives if the fit is correct. If the part shows some play after prolonged use, a minimal application of contact adhesive on the hub is sufficient to secure it permanently.

Common mistakes

• Confusing Type1 with Type2: both versions have different hubcaps. Always verify the reference before ordering.
• Applying too much adhesive: a minimal amount is sufficient; excess can stain the rim or bodywork.
• Forcing the fit: if it does not enter smoothly, check that it is the correct reference for that specific model.

The Ferrari 308 and its history in competition

The Ferrari 308 GTB was one of the most iconic sports cars of the seventies and eighties. Launched in 1975 with Pininfarina bodywork, it combined a 2.9-litre V8 engine with lines that defined an era. In competition, the 308 found its natural terrain in rallying, where it particularly excelled in the World Rally Championship with drivers like Jean-Claude Andruet, who drove it in several world events in the late seventies. The car also participated in the Monte Carlo Rally and long-distance events, consolidating an image of reliability and character that made it a benchmark in its category.

Avant Slot, as a leading manufacturer of resin slot cars, has captured that essence in its 308 models, paying attention to every detail — including hubcaps like this one — to ensure the miniature closely respects the real vehicle it represents.
