Rears would be good for a 1984 Sud too?
I couldn't find any reasonably priced ones last time I looked....

Brilliant thread guys

Great stuff!

Where did you get the silicone coolant hoses?

Rear shocks don't seem to be a problem. Fronts are almost impossible to track down, compounded by the fact there are several variants with different fitments. I'm trying to put a deal together at the moment, but as you say it's not going to be cheap! Any links for rears please? These are for my par...

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but just to confirm I now own the Black Alfasud Ti LHK842Y featured in this and previous threads. I bought it off the chap in Epsom mentioned above. He unfortunately kept it outdoors for 3 years so it's needing a bit of cosmetic work but engine is sound and running ...

Sud Rear Seats.JPG Sud Front Seats.JPG Did a bit with the Sud last night. Put GTV front seats in and rears from Alfa 33 Imola. The fronts only have 2 bolts in (diagonally) and the rear top bit has a drill bit holding the split together with tie wraps holding it to the receiver (complete cowboy job ...

I take it you meant the ti autos track day Colin.
You haven't changed a bit in my eyes!
These things happen at track days.
I got given out to for overtaking through a bend (which was bold)
but goodness he needs bigger mirrors (holding up 3 faster cars).

Just to update this, I was trawling through the internet and "You Tube" and discovered that the 6C is now with "Luden Automotive" - who intend to bring it back to good order. They do classic and "interesting" car renovation and restoration so I am pleased that the 6C is going to be "looked after". ...

Lovely job!

Nice job

Gone to mechanic for new timing belts, tensioners, water pump, 4 brake lines, braided hoses and some general tidying up...

And there was me being a harbinger of doom, and it was just down to the pad adjustment. And no overheating or warping of the brake discs, good news indeed!

Well done lad

Rory is my real name!

Was a very happy bunny yesterday when I bled the clutch and got it to work. It was a one man job which is not ideal but I (over) filled the reservoir, opened the bleed valve, I used one of those bleed tube/canister jobs. Used my jack handle to keep the clutch pedal pressed down, closed bleed valve. ...

Great work John!

I have a 5 gallon drum of 10w/40 semi synthetic that I put into my 166 3 litre and 156 1.8.
I'll just use that for now.
Thanks all

Does everyone still use/recommend 15w40?
Or is it OK to use 10w40?
I know you have to use an oil filter with a non-return valve.
Thanks in advance

I had wondered about the wiring Dave.
Very interesting thread guys!

Finally found the Green Cloverleaf alloy bolts!

John,

The original badges are the long ones, but the one I bought is a short one.
Do you have the short badge as well (assuming it is a short badge rubber)?
