Thanks Loo loo, Recently had the MonteCarlo consortium call in on one of their runs at our local pub meet up.
Thought people might like to see a row of them.

Re: Another one coming back from dormancy
Been working on the Lancia over the winter as it lost all oil pressure. Checked the lousy senders and they both worked, then checked all the ususal suspects, pickup, pressure relief valve, pump, etc. Made a right mess at times, highly frustrating and at the end of it found nothing. Put a better capi...

Re: 1500ti restoration. Ex racer
Well I have the Sud still so have started to improve it a bit more. Went through it today and all was well bar the radiator was loose and the gearbox low on oil which surprised me. Then lowered the passenger seat so my partner can get in and out more easily. The tick over and acceleration is super a...

Have you tried tipping some graphite into it as i have found this has released bits in locks better than oil in a few cases.

Re: Sud front wing
Oh and you might be able to answer a question I have. Do you know if the oil cap on the rocker box on such as a Alfa gt junior would fit on a Lancia Beta/Monte engine as the one on my car is lousy and leaks oil all the while.
It appears to be a regular problem.

Re: Tyres
To help with my conscience I have fitted eco tyres on the Lancia and they suit it fine. Had them on my day to day car for years and they have lasted well and save fuel costs. Plus they only cost me £50 each at the time. Oddly people consistently expect them to be more expensive. Not sure why they ha...

Re: Physics Question.
Also you may find it interesting from an engineering point of view to look up Berd spokes which make some of the string spokes which people are starting to use. Hooking a bit of string around a hook on a flange, then building it in to a wheel to go down the road is a bit mind bending to me. :shock:

Re: Physics Question.
Then your just hanging from the top. Which is why you see touring bikes with 3x crossing to give a kinder life to the body on the bike, rather than a stiffer wheel to go faster. There is of course periodic stresses as load changes and torque altering things and when you look into it things get very ...

Re: Physics Question.
The spokes that you are hanging on as you progress down the road are the top spokes in relation to the rim, but the side spokes in relation to the hub. That is normal for a 3 spokes crossing wheel. So the top spokes on the hub are side spokes on the rim, and so on around the wheel. The tightest spok...

Well the Sud is not getting much in the way of interest, I am finding it hard to gauge as often you get offers or comments but this time there is nothing. Not on ebay or car and classic. Quite odd.

Yes a proper DS. So a bit daunting after a stripped down car, but when I had the GT Junior along with another chap in the Alfa club we used to comment that the only problem with owning a classic Alfa was it kept you from buying a Citroen DS. Also I have learnt a lot from owning the Sud and it was a ...
