They are pretty useless really. But in my younger more reckless days they used to stop metal to metal contact due to the soft bushes when cornering hard. The Watts parallelogram make the arms twist at weird angles rather than just up and down and back to front. Now I don't screw it round corners as ...

No rush

thanks

Great!

Thanks Shrew

Mine have all disappeared

Do any of you know the thickness and size of the foam washers that should be fitted next to the suspension bushes on the rear of an Alfasud?

I want to make some.

Thanks

Even though the Sud has just passed it's MOT without any advisories, as part of the continuous maintenance regime on my Sud (it's like the Forth Bridge) I have decided that as it is about 8 years since I last changed the front struts and suspension bushes this will be my focus at the end of the summ...

Really exciting and great to see

John at JustSuds used to have some.

If I remember rightly I think that the shims off a Ford Escort/Orion fitted but please check.

cheers guys, pleased with the outcome. bookings Liam? new premises this summer will help things but as it's still a spare time thing then I'm busy for a while yet, got my own integrale to get back to plus another couple of long standing commitments but things could change in the future. You're made...

Have you checked that the coil is earthing Ok through the bracket.

It looks fantastic!

Great job

Or, isn't Ebay great!

Would you believe they supplied and delivered that brand new pair of brake calipers (etc etc) in that huge box all the way from Peru for a tenner!

I wonder how do they make any money?

It's probably organised gangs using the supply of car parts to launder money!

What's this about Power Steering?

Guess what? my switch gear has now packed up. The wiper are on all the time unless you put the fan on one speed then sometimes they stop :shock: Looks like the plastic is giving up the ghost. cracks in a few places Anyway got a few sets of S3 switch gear but noticed it has an extra wire into each c...

I've got mine on pre order with Amazon

The paint finish looks great Colin

I had an Ivory 95bhp Ti

It was part of a 'Top Marques' video on Alfa Romeos in general

The bodywork restoration moves on apace. As we saw earlier, there were some pretty hideous previous 'repairs' to the rear section of the roof discovered when the car was taken down to bare metal. Alfa Sud 38.jpg At first, it was decided that a full-width contoured steel panel could be fabricated by...

I do recall asking BLS Tom about the Alfetta rear caliper and Sud caliper some years back as they looked identical to me but he reckons there was a subtle difference between the two but couldn't recall exactly what....so that's no help at all I know! I love either wine or beer on a Friday night! Do...

Just wait and see how giddy you will be when you get it back!

I searched on Amazon and some came up at £84.00 per pair.

I used a scotch pad and then wiped with panel wipe

Great job.

I use it on my external black trim

I hear what you're saying, but i dont think the gains are worth the engineering personally. The twin spark claims around 150bhp, whereas the 16v boxer claims around 135bhp but can drop straight in, and retains the handling characteristics of the low centre of gravity afforded by boxer engines. To m...

Nothing serious more of the 'I might as well just do this whilst I am at it'!

Why is it when you start a job like this you always go further and spend more money than you wanted to?

I always buy my fuel from a garage with a high turnover of fuel so it is fresh. When I had my boat I used to spend a fortune on fuel additives and stabilisers. It was a rule of thumb in the boating fraternity that unleaded fuel would lose about 1 RON per week. It helped that the boat had an American...

Only V Power in mine for the last seven years. Good practice Tony, it is by far the most reliable, but sadly at a price. I would recommend AGAINST supermarket petrols. The Tesco 99ron in particular has been proven very inconsistent by the performance japanese chaps, particularly the Subaru guys usi...
