Re: Crankshaft rear seal
Harry, be sure to check for a wear mark on the crank surface where the seal sits. This can be the reason for a seal failing so bad it contaminates the clutch. Iv had this happen with a new engine build recently. I got round it by removing the engine and putting another rear seal in but not tapping i...

Oversized 1.7 pistons 87.5mm 89mm
Hi guys am looking into getting some over sized pistons made for my worn fast road 1.7 8v. Non forged and forged available, I was thinking 89mm non forged as they’re a lot cheaper and better for road use due to the piston slap of forged pistons when cold Let’s say 87.5mm non forged for those just wa...

filler neck to tank hose
It seems the filler neck to tank hoses are getting hard to get hold of nowerdays. Iv found a supplier who seems to have quite a few in stock, i could do with one but don’t fancy the 26€ shipping cost from Italy. The hoses are 14€

Re: Windscreen dimensions
I’ll measure mine when I get home tonight, least then I’ll have the exact difference in mm to give to pilkingtons instead of guessing 5/10mm.

Re: Windscreen dimensions
Yes please strut that would be great
Could you measure it top to bottom in the centre, and across the middle centre and also at its widest point towards the bottom edge. If you do this from the inside of the screen it’ll make it easier I guess.
Thanks again for the offer

Hi guys does anyone have any experience with the solex single choke carb? I have a 1.3 super that seems to be running lean, it’s got a new carb fitted and is fine when you put your foot down. However low to mid throttle it feels like it’s holding back as thought the idle jet is too small. Iv wound o...

Alfasud gardinetta
I know the where abouts of a SA import alfasud Gardinetta if anyone’s looking for a resto project. Been kept in a dry lockup for 20yrs and seems pretty much complete.
Obviously it’ll be a huge undertaking but being a RHD makes this a very rare car indeed and well worth the effort.
