We call that a compliance plate in Australia.

This is worth a read.

I can confirm that 1.7 Mechanical lifter heads have valves about 1mm longer than the hydraulic lifter heads.

The 40idfs on my 1.7 need about 3 turns before they start idling well.

Can I ask what is the offset for these wheels?

I think it's going to be around 300 GBP all up including postage. Not sure what import duties you may have there.

I have a set. Where are you located. Shipping may be the killer.

After you master this you can do a bush in just a minute or two.

Now remove the bolt and press home.

Finished result looks like this.

It should then look like this.

Next step is to push the bush in about 5mm. Important not to go too far or you may wreck the bush by pulling the centre pin too far through. So stop, undo the vice and remove the bolt.

Next tighten the vice making sure everything stays lined up. As the tension increases the bolt pushes back on the centre pin deforming the bush and causing the outer Nylon shell to become slightly conical in shape. In the next pic the vice is just nipped up on the bush. It's important at this stage ...

Next get a big socket to push the bush in from behind and assemble into the vice or press as shown below. Note when the bolt just nips up in the vice there is about 5mm gap between the arm and the vice jaw.

See the pic and note the gap.

Not many tools required. Start with one of the short bolts that are used dto mount the arm to the car. Remove nut and all washers. Put it through the new bush with the long end out the same side as the chamfer.

See the pic.

I will take a pic when I do the other bushes over the weekend but basically if you pull the centre pin back as you push the bush in it makes the outer Nylon sleeve become conical in shape. So the bush already has a small chamfer on the edge of the nylon on one side plus an overall taper to assist th...

I have finally figured out how to install these bushes. I will take some pics tonight and post.
44mm bush into a 42mm hole. Doesn't seem possible but it can be done.

Hello all Just curious about peoples experience with aftermarket wheels and the affects on handling I know the offset on the phone dial speedline wheels is about +38mm. If you use a wheel like the Ronal A1 that is 15x7 with +25 offset how does it affect the driving characteristics? Will it cause too...

Update.

A have had a 6m production run made and sent 2m to an Alfasud owner and Motor trimmer who owns Doncaster motor trimmers. He will be the first to try it out and hopefully provide some feedback on the material.

That looks very good wsll done. When are you going into production then . I'm going to get a 6 metre( by 1.5 metre wide) batch made very soon. I figured out you need 2 metres to do an entire retrim. Both samples look good to me but I think the secret is if you use this material you need to retrim t...

Working on a reproduction.

Top is the sample taken from the headrest.
Bottom left and right are two different materials printed with the TI logo.

Hello all

The Magneti Marelli distributor in my late model ALfasud TI QV has two pick-up coils inside. Anybody know what the second one is for? Or have a wiring diagram that covers the distributor with two coils?

Many Thanks

Andrew

Hi there

I am wrecking my 1986 Sprint TI QV and the best parts are the lights. These are RHD so good for the UK.

One of the low beams is actually new.

200 GBP for the set plus shipping from Australia. Should be able to find a reasonable courier

How to buy these? I would love a set in black. Please post some details about how to buy.

Later one is 6 bolt early one is 4 bolt. Just have a look and see what you have.

Can I ask what is involved in converting to mechanical tappets?

I did ask for more photos but he now has difficulties uploading pics. Not sure if that is the same guy in the news article. I've decided I'm definitely going to pass on this one. Sounds too dodgy.

Newport UK. The thing is he sent me two pictures of the seats and after studying them in detail I thought one of the pics looked familiar. I did a google image search and after about 20minutes I found both images online. The original source of the image was something like Alfasud parts readers cars ...

Hello all I was contacted recently by a Guy called Anthony Thompson claiming to be wrecking an Alfasud TI and offering me a set of really nice condition seats. Does anybody know Anthony as I would like a reference as a reputable trader. I am considering buying the seats off him but would just like t...

Hi there Does anybody have a set of the black and red seats for sale in very good condition? The ones with TI in the centre section. I'm in Australia so I'm thinking that it might be best to have the covers removed by an auto trimmer and ship the covers to AUS otherwise freight will be a killer. And...
