Hi bobkelso,

Thanks for your reply also.

Hi Loo,

Thanks again for replying, like I said in my previous post I think it's a case of stupidity on my behalf

Cathal.

Hi Loo, Thanks for posting diagram, for sure this will help. But is there an actual diagram showing torque settings for all engine auxiliary parts example crank pulley to crank shaft, cam pulleys to cam shafts, flywheel to end of crank shaft etc.... Forgive me for maybe not explaining myself a bit b...

Hi all,

Does anyone have a boxer engine diagram showing all torque settings crank, cams, flywheel etc.

Any help, advise much appreciated....

Cathal.

Hi all,

Unusual post or maybe not.

Is it possible that any one has a good working cobra 5370 siren "sounder" for sale or knows where I might locate one.

Picture attached of what I'm looking for, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Cathal.

Hi A_J. Thanks for your post. I have an 88 Sprint and yes your right the holding clamps were originally a goldish kind of colour, but as I could not replicate this I decided to go for the black. They were rusty enough too before tidying up, but I though the black look reasonable good anyway so I set...

Hi,

Just like to tank all who replied to my post and enclose picture of my refurbished steering rack.

Thanks.

Cathal.

Hi Kev,

Thanks for that, will have to change the cv boots also. So no harm to have a bit of that lithium moly grease in stock.

Cathal.

Hi Lou,

That's the next question I was going to ask "what grease to use" on steering rack. Thankfully you have answered the question.
Thanks all for replying to my initial post.

Cathal.

Hi Lou, Thank you very much for your reply and very informative guide on how to replace the boots on the steering rack of my Sprint. Yes it's the non power rack that's on my car. I feel quietly confident in taking on the job of changing the boots myself, but if I have any doubts or not sure that I'm...

Help,

Has anyone had the privilege of replacing the bellows/boots on the steering rack of an Alfa Sprint.
Would really appreciate help with this and pictures if possible on step by step procedure.
Thanks in advance.

Cathal.

Hi Lou,

Thanks for your reply and update in this matter.
I understand what your saying about the fuel injected and 16v versions also.
Once again thanks for your help.

Cathal.

Hi Lou,

As discussed with you some pictures of flywheels attached. Have a look and let me know what you think .

Cathal.

Hi Lou,

Away from car now.

Will post some tomorrow, thanks.

Hi Lou, Thank you for your quick response. I got an engine from John at justsuds which had a Bosch dizzy on it and on my Sprint there is a Marelli system which I didn't want to change. With regards to fly wheele it seem to be different on the engine from John to the one on the engine I want to swap ...

Hi,

A few questions about Sprint engine.

Is it possible to change fly wheele from one engine to another or are they balanced differently?.

Also can I change Bosch distributor and coil with Magneti Marelli?.

In general can bits be interchanged from one engine to another.

Help please.

Cathal.

Hi Gary,

Super restoration project.
Fantastic results, well done.
The car looks awesome.

Cathal.

Ah Keith,

You seem to be having a hard time here.

Don't mind them atall.

Cathal.

Wow Ed,

Sprint looks fantastic.

As Keith said, I have the Zender kit on my Sprint too. I really like these kit's, I think they enhance an already great looking car.

Those alloys look very smart underneath the car too, keep up the great work, I'm very jealous and impressed at the same time...

Well an enormous amount of work done for sure, the plus side you certainly got the results you desired. Engine bay looks fantastic, hat off to you. Now I know I have a hell of lot of work to get through before I even think about getting behind the wheel again. Just as well I haven't put a time scale...

Hi Sprint88qv, I have engine and gearbox on the floor. Actually I got an engine from John at justsuds which was out of an Alfa 33, which I'm going to put into my Sprint. The gearbox seemed to be ok when last driven. But the fact it is out maybe it would be advised to have a look at it before putting...

Hi all,

Could anyone tell me where I could get a new plastic water drain pipe under fuel filler, for my 88 Sprint.

Thanks,

Cathal.

Hi,

Always liked the X 1/9. Great pics and work carried out here.
Ye guys don't seem to get put off with any problems that arise in ye're projects.

Hats off to all.

Cathal.

Hi StescoG66,

Thanks for the invite.

Will post some pictures of my progress so far, soon.

Some great pictures of other restorations posted too.
Thanks to all that took the time to reply to my post.

Cathal.

Hi guys, Thanks for all the good sound advise. Have taken off lots of bits, some I have put together and sort of know where there going and other bits I have left in a heap and telling myself, yeah I know where there going :?: . Like what ye say, I'm a little bit forgetful already but hopefully when...

Hi all,

Has anyone done a complete restoration on an 88 Sprint 1.7 .

Any pictures and helpful tips much appreciated.

Thanks,

Cathal.

Hi petteri,

Thanks again for replying to me. Can you if possible let me know where these strips can be purchased from.
Is there a website available to further view these strips or are they just purchased over the counter some where

Cathal.

Hi all,

Just to say that I purchased and received items from this ebayer.
Two Cloverleaf side air vents as described on eBay add, were exactly as stated and did look to good to be true price wise at the time, but everything worked out fine.

Cathal.

Hi petteri,

Thanks for reply, still searching for Zender kit strips, no joy as yet.
What you posted looks good, if you can find out anything more on this would appreciate it, thanks.

Cathal.

Hi all,
Is there any chance anyone has a set of cloverleaf air vents for sale for Sprint, please let me know, thanks....
