Hi. Did not realise they had a larger pump. Do you know yet exactly what your going to bore the block out too ? Would be very interested in your decision. I am having a 8v done but rather concerned at boring out too much and cracking the block under use. I believe it was often a problem in the day a...

Thank you johnboy, I can see I started a trend, long time since that happened.

29) Alfasud 1978-1500ti ex-racer in bits-Bromyard

Some one do the edit bit and add it on please !

Looks like it is based on a Moto Guzzi Le Mans from the 80's. I wonder how he sorted the final drive out?

Hi Bert 308. Your info and pictures have been most helpful as struggling to make decisions with my engine. The original advert is sold out but E bay no's 151171854584 and 191156654195 are very similar and a good price. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151171854584?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=ST...

Hi All looks great.

What did you find the best way was to get the foam out of the cavities in the car. I seem to be faffing a lot with out great results.

Ta. James

Excellent, thanks. Keep an eye on the grammmer as well will you.

Ah forgot to preview and pictures not come up.

Sorry about that not sure what went wrong. Will try again soon.

Thought this might interest people. I removed the top of the front shock mount today. http://i.imgur.com/TBdXwUB.jpg?1 To discover this. It all looks rather crude but has been very well thought out and executed. http://i.imgur.com/KxfNUEH.jpg?1 Not too much rust in the front end so quite pleased.

Wow, the engine bay looks like you could eat your dinner off it. Looks great.

Who did your exhaust as that looks a very good job as well ?

Good luck with it all.

Ha. That footage made me smile. Excellent. Reminded me of a friend who was late to meet me one evening and when he arrived he was still shaking as his friend had asked him to help while they ran up a home made model of a jet engine in his garage. He said it was terrifying being next to an untested e...

Hi Glad to be of some help to someone else for a change. Shame it was not good news for you.

Just had the same with the rear shock mounts I have had modified. On to plan B. Good luck.

[img][img]http://i.imgur.com/UqWJ9WE.jpg[/img][/img] Hi What i think is just a standard vacuum one, but not sure. Never had them on motorbikes esp BSA's and such. It is an Italian one. To answer your earlier question it does not look bored out it looks like a standard item. I may well take it to my ...

Hi , Yes the big problem is the size of the bore it is so much bigger than Sud, 33 , 75 sizes so I cannot think what else would run such big brakes

unless it was racing spec to accommodate the big callipers.

Also condition of the axle at the start with Mini brake drum in place to check for fit. Very pleased as it was excellent.

Wow a factory bent axle ! Why would they not just make the axle up and add spacers to give the desired as I have seen done with washers. That is interesting indeed. Thanks chaps. I do not mind you using my pictures in the least. And yes it is going back on either way. To answer questions. Yes I can ...

Blimey that looks excellent. As you say , how did it cope so well with the Australian climate ?

Found any spiders in there? Funnel web is the nasty one in Sydney I think. Still this weather will sort that out.

Good luck and hope you do not find any nasty surprises.

Yes. To get at the calipers the disc had to come off and they fastened on with allen headed bolts. These were screwed through the discs then had nuts on the back that were welded to the disc, so fun and games grinding them off. After all that the Lockheed callipers had to go away with the gearbox to...

Just working out how to put photo's on the forum so have a couple to show what I am up to especially to those who have so kindly helped me with advice, skills and parts. The first picture is of the car in my shed which is often full, the person pictured is of normal height which shows how low the ca...

Okay. Thanks for that. That all seems very clever, but it would end up looking very different to what would have been there in the 80's

which is why I was interested in the 123 ignition units. They do look the part more unless there is a way of disguising the NoDiz system.

Hi Shrew. Thanks for that. It would seem that I need a much larger one to make the front 4 pot callipers work well. The master cylinder I have taken off is 29mm bore and could be rebuilt, but I cannot get hold of seals when I cannot identify it. My only other thought is to find an Alfa one that is t...

Thanks a lot. Sadly could not find that thread but will look them up. James

Hi Tim

Many thanks. Just found some excellent measurements on the forum of the Sud, 33 etc brake cylinder bore which I thought would be very handy as it meant I could identify mine.

No, it just meant I now know mine is none of them. Looks like I shall just buy anyone of them and start again.

Hi I am new to this forum but some will spot me from AO. I am now at the point of making decisions on the ignition. Any advise would be useful before I start buying parts I am putting a 1700 8v engine in it but only have two scruffy distributors for a 1500 ti engine so while I have a clean slate I w...

Hi Oliver

I could do with a brake master cylinder please. It is for a 1978 1500ti and I am not worried about if it is the right year, but is it servo assisted, ta.
