Thank you all, I will get a chance this week hopefully and dig them out, see if we can do any swaps or something if anyone needs one

So had a chance to get some bits out of the shed to clear out, I found a load of distributors, definitely from alfas, but I don't know if they are boxer engine ones or twin cam / nord engine.
Would anyone know the bosch part numbers so I can see what I've got to sort out sale / swaps
Cheers

I'm sure there is some way to calculate compression pressures against current draw, once all the variables are taken into account ,, but its not done like that in service / workshops.. The idea behind the amp clamp method is the achieve a quick relative compression test. So, image customer brings ca...

Compression ratio is swept volume against clearance volume isn't it? I've never thought of it as 15 psi atmospheric/ 150 psi compression means we have 10:1. Does it work like that? For a cheeky quick way of doing it, an it's actually how alfa/fiat did it as early as the 90's with the examiner, you p...

Hi,
I have a 1.5 boxer bare block up for grabs, will post pictures as soon as I can. Main bearing caps present, bores look OK. Is it worth £75 or offers? Collection from bedford
Thanks

methodic and effective fault finding - good work

Hi Lou,

I've got some odds and ends, anything in particular and I can behave a look? Cheers

Hiya everyone,

I've not been around on here for ages,..

just wanted to check which area of the forum is OK for selling/swapping parts- within here or does it have to be the parts for sale threads only? Cheers

HI,
do you still have these for sale?
thanks

the last time i did that amount of juggling and jiggling, it got me in trouble

Fair play to you for taking that to bits mate

Hi Veesix. I got a bargin with them from eBay, Im pretty sure they are the ones classic Alfa and others do for around £250. They are not the Sprintfilter branded ones, back plate is different shape and no filter for the carb breather hole. The mesh is built in / crimped around the trumpet mouth, the...

Why is it, the first things i noticed were the calendars

Hope you guys can help my poor memory.. when I was about 18 / 19 years old, I worked for alfatech racing in Luton for a while. Run by Rob emberton. I wasn't there that long. There was a lady that used to race a green 4 door and, her name was Jane something? Can anyone remember the car? It would hav...

That's it! Jane Cheffings! I think the car actually had rich bitch in the window as her name lol I did two stints working there ( mad I know ) The cars were platinum technology, green and black for a while. I was there when mark ticehurst drove a 33, he went on to do the vauxhall vectra challenge. B...

Just need to get the rest of the engine bay looking nice

I got a great deal on these trumpets the other week, i had been toying with the idea of these for a while.. The standard air box unbolts easily enough, then once the new base plate is on, the trumpets go on with the retaining rings. It's a bit of a game lining the trumpet up over the carb mouth, if ...

They look nicely done..

Im on a 16v motor, not good to me but I'm sure they will find a good home.

Cheers, she's had a fair bit done..
Is that a 33 rear axle under there? Have you gone out board front brakes and using the 33 axle / brakes / handbrake?

Hi Kev, yup it's been a while since I posted it on the old forum.. but I have to say your work inspired me mate. Since starting the sud, there's been a house move and following renovation, and I became a dad ! I now have a little apprentice - I figure by the time she's about 5 or 6, she should be a ...

I think if i ever sat back and added up what I spent on it.. i would faint lol
not that I've spent thousands... I'm just tight

I'm lucky i can do all the work my self - apart from the paint job - but everything else I have fuddled and taught myself through it

Im making a push this summer to get my sud finished and on the road, or at least driving and stopping under its own power! I have owned the car since 2000, I bought it for £250 quid, the previous owner had been told the alternator needed replacing and decided to off load it as spares or repairs.. On...

Looking good, it's motivating me to crack on with mine and get it on the road... It's been mothballed for about 5 years now

Thanks Adam,
Please do let me know..
Cheers

would anybody have a nice alfasud series 3 back seat (base and backing) that I could buy?
A Ti seat would be perfect, but even a non Ti seat would do as i have the ti cloth to retrim it..

thanks , lib

sorry to start up an old thread, .. what do you guys think to these folding garages? .. http://www.canvasandnylon.co.uk/portablegarages.php im thinking of the canvas version that breathes and allows moisture out, also has a gap at the bottom for airflow. Agree your going to anchor it well . Anything...

Looks like a great tank!

i have a pair of brand new tank straps for a sud if anybody wants to swap for beer money ?

Looks great, as mentioned before you will have no trouble selling that!
