Do you know you can lower the rear windows about 50mm/2 inch? By turning a knob but most of the time the mechanism is stuck and rusted. You will need to remove the rear trim on the inside to inspect and you will see how to install/uninstall the glass.

I have them, all new, PM sent.

The Fiat ones are larger, same as Ferrari 308 (not 305..) and...Yugo.
I will check tomorrow what sizes I have. In the first post it said one 2.70, that must be a tipo then, 3.70 is a normal value.

I have them, 3 euro for a new one, 2 for a good used one but I would need to check if I still have the sizes you need. It seems 2.70 is not available, this is an original Alfa box. Maybe from other brands or maybe there is something wrong with the valve/valve seat?

The Ti front is also shorter, as it has a seperate spoiler, not integrated. Some basic 1.2 nuova Suds had short bumpers front and back but they are rare, never seen any.

I don't have the answer but you can never compare springs for a '83 with Sud axle to a '88 with 33 axle. The lower spring seat is about 25mm higher relative to the wheel center on a 33 axle, that means with same springs a '88 would sit 25mm higher in the rear than a '83.

If you have the brakes in the wheels no problem to change the shafts complete with housings.

Sud and 33 output shafts and flanges are different (obviously the 33 flange has no mount for a brake disc but is also 12mm longer). The Sud has a helical gear pattern to drive the speedo cable, the 33 has a toothed wheel for the electronic pick up. Secured with a clamped on nut, not a nut actually b...

1.5 and 1.7 blocks are not the same castings, both have 5.5-6mm thick cylinder walls and if you bore a 1.5 block to 87mm only 4mm is left. This could be ok for a road car but I read about a racer that had cracked walls after one season.

Expensive and CH is not in the EG so add taxes.

I also plan building 89mm bore engine(s) and have at my own cost and risk ordered a custom made batch of 20x 89.5mm bore headgaskets in the hope I could sell the gaskets I don't need myself. They are made with the same material (metal enforced) and thickness, only the bore is larger. And they left o...

Difference between pre and post 1982 discs is only the height of the centering ring, also the centering ring is machined a little different requiring different caps but both discs should be fine on all Suds unless you have a really weird wheel. It is nice that Brembo put photos of the actual discs w...

I think it's a tight fit, I once had to use a reamer to fit Sud Koni yellow in a 33 strut. The 33 strut is 40mm exact, the Sud a few tenth more. But it is a while ago and I could be mistaken.

S3 33 has 2480mm wheelbase, Suds 2455mm, I think all due to the front suspension. Not sure, but I thought the S1 33 still has 2455. I also think less castor is better for a racer, more sensitive steering.

Sud has longer longitudinal arms. I found when I mounted a complete series 3 33 suspension, the wheels sat too far forward in the arches, about 2 cm so I had to use the Sud arms and still have Sud castor, which indeed seems to should be around zero while the 33 has 2 degrees. That is why a Sud steer...

Correction, the pics of the Trofeo were taken already 2004, here is the info sheet that was with it. Original Trofeo Sud owned and driven by Gerhard Berger, could make it the most valuable Sud?

Has anybody seen this type of rear spoiler before? Mix between Series 2 TI and Trofeo.

Pics made by me at Essen Motorshow 2011 :-) Here are the originals: https://myalbum.com/photo/B3nfX3XXjjPu/1k0.jpg https://myalbum.com/photo/pSIVOFlZBM39/1k0.jpg https://myalbum.com/photo/hcqXYs70oXvG/1k0.jpg https://myalbum.com/photo/5zmN0RtmMrQU/1k0.jpg https://myalbum.com/photo/xfEKEAUKMivS/1k0.j...

Here is a facebook album with pictures and comments about the rebuild of very similar Porsche 914-6/Ferrari 308 calipers:

I installed one of these under my 1982 Sud few years ago without a problem, capping of the extra line.

Excellent post Bobkelso and nice find of the other Nissan pistons, I should have found them first time around. Haven't been here for a while and nice to see an update. Today I went to the shed and searched for the parts...I have the rods I mentioned earlier that are 1mm longer, and they are symmetri...

sorry for the off topic, but I found this:

seems interesting, because I have a 16v boxer

Forged pistons for the 16v are readily available from Wiseco, see the first link in the first post in this topic.

I'm sorry, no updates on the boxers as I was working other non Alfa projects. Maybe I should look into it coming winter, as a build up motor is a lot safer and compact to store then all the parts, some expensive, here and there.

In the for sale add in the beginning it is readable that belts and waterpump had been done recently, yet they replace them again. On other cars with unknown history they leave them on sometimes! I guess the Sud was too good and needed nothing so they had to do something to make a show.

Interesting explanation from Edd for the difference in valve clearance for inlet and outlet valves...because the valves are different in size!

Every new episode until now is posted on youtube the next day by some good chaps, so I can watch them. However they always get deleted soon because of copyright violated. I read an interview with Edd and Mike in a Dutch car magazine yesterday and the Sud was mentioned, it was much worse rust wise th...

Sud hub is 58,5 mm, not 60. I once adjusted the bearings very loose, then used the angle grinder to spin the hub and at the same time take some 10th mm away. Result was better than this description may suggest...

If 1660cc with 87mm pistons is correct, it will be a 70mm crank. Would be an interesting mix and match of 1712 block, Nissan or Alfa pistons, old or new style heads and Nissan/Alfa rods to make it work...
