Just a felt washer that fits into the collar, and is a snug fit on the plain, un-splined part of the shaft will keep the grease in & the grit out. This is the most common type used.
You used to be able to buy a range of these at any bearing service sales counter. Take in the collar & yoke for test fitting options. And don't mention it's an Alfa Romeo...the sizes are just standard auto industry use, nothing special,
no need to complicate the situation.
Otherwise, source some felt pad and cut out a washer yourself.

What about poly bushes?

Google Alfa 75 superpro 27mm and you'll see some...

Cheers.

Welcome to the forum ....

Here is a link to the AlfaBB that has a bit about colours, trim etc.

https://www.alfabb.com/threads/1972-alfa-romeo-color-chart-reference-materials.3895/

I've never heard of 'cornflower blue' as an Alfa colour (Alfa had a number of blue tints during the 70's).

I think it may be Le Mans Blue you are talking about. I've included a pic below.

Cheers.

105/115 Series (105 Coupe/Spider/Berlina) / Propshaft Spline Seal

Last post by Chatchops - February 21, 2024, 11:19:08 AM

Hi All,

In middle of running gear overhaul. I have done unis, centre bearing, hat spacer, donut etc on my propshaft but cannot seem to find any lead on the spine shaft seal. Image shows the sliding section of the shaft, as you can see everything has been indexed and marked so will go back together correctly

The original that basically self destructed upon disassembly looks to be a felt/fibre seal, but some initial research reveals there are caulk versions for some cars (see attached image).
Has anyone replace theirs or found a suitable solution or have a spare that they'd be willing to sell?

My spline is in excellent shape and has no slack/slop so not looking the replace the rear section.

Thanks in advance

$28,000 ono. Immaculate... 96000 kms. Timing chain and alternator replaced in 2022 at 95000 kms. Injectors replaced late 2023. Drives like a dream..... but sadly due to 3 joint replacements in my legs it has become too difficult to drive.

Shipping from Perfomatek is not too bad, but communication can be an issue. I got a 27mm front sway bar and it took about 3 months to arrive. Andy included a poly link kit to apologise, and I was not worried as the car was having other work done.

I plan on going to 27mm torsion bars next, so let me know where yo get them and the cost.

Hello. I realize it's an old post, but am looking to replace the rubbers on a 27mm front sway bar. Have written to Performatek but any idea if they are readily available anywhere else? None in the usual - EBspares, ClassicAlfa....
Thanks in advance.
Gopi.
