Any good paint man should be able to match the colour. If someone says they can't then don't use them. Waxoyl it everywhere! Seriously, if it's a box...

Hello All, Seeking advice on Sud front wheel bearing... Earlier this year I felt play in the front bearing, and following good advice here, didnt change it...
Hi I would not think that the retaining nut being loose would cause play. I think in it a special tool to refit that retaining ring, but I might be getting...
Hullo Ed, Regarding your letter in the last issue, sorry I can't help you on the front wheel bearing problem (as I've never tackled that job myself), but I...
The people: http://www.camberleyautofactors.com/about.asp are Koni's main agent in the UK. When my girlfriend had the front struts rebuilt on her 33 1.5 ie...
Hi, Thanks to all who replied. I've just completed the Koni conversion. I priced around a few suppliers, but in the end the cheapest was my local motor...
Silly question but I assume the bearings are taper ones and therefore adjustable. My AH Sprite has plain ball bearings and these are not adjustable. They...
Hi, Sud front bearings arent the taper type, and so arent adjustable (unfortunately). But in an intricate piece of design, the way the system works means that ...
How loose is it? Have you tried pinching up that inner nut. Are you saying that the race is not firmly clamped so that the movement is potentialy vearing to...
Hi Jeremy, Yes, I think thats what might be happening, but its pure speculation and there's no-one else here saying a similar thing has ever happened to them. ...
How about a box spanner of the appropriate size (i know you have to measure it first). Was the bearing put in the right way round, the Midget ball ones have a...
Hi, I purchased some fully synthetic Agip Engine oil for my 'Sud back in September 1999. I still have it on a shelf and intend to use it next week when I...
HI I have never heard of a shelf life mentioned for clean new oil (dirty oil does nasty things to engines). So, I would just use it All the best Keith PS - I...
Hi The manual just mentions an Alfa special tool, and when a friend who is a mechanic changed the front wheel bearings in my Sprint may years ago he had to...
Hi, If you are near to Hull then there is a very good ex-alfa guy who has most of the special tools and years of experience with suds. E-mail me for his...
To Everybody, Almost 2 years ago we created a register for all de Tomaso cars at www.detomaso.net. This year, as we were restyling the de Tomaso site, we came...
Hi all, I attended last weeks Mallory Park track day and had a great time zooming around the track in my TI Green Cloverleaf. The car performed brilliantly,...
Hi Philip, Could be the reversing light switch found at the rear of the gearbox. After prolonged racing the epoxy surround can melt if paticularly hot,...
Try the seal around the gear change shaft, I know that these flog out and leak a lot more after you have given them a bit of a workout. My one is starting to ...
John, Grant, Thanks for the advice - I sure hope its just the reversing light switch. Either way I guess I need to get underneath the car this weekend. Cheers...
Sometime ago there was a number of messages posted concerning upgrading the standard solid disks on a sud to vented ones. After a bit of asking around I've...
I have not heared about that conversion, but it is very similar that was made to my car. A disk manufacturer fubrish to me vented disk, and the only mods that...
My understanding is that the SZ disk rotor is the same diameter as the Alfetta/75/90 disk rotor, which is not the same as the Alfasud which is 259mm (10.2...
