Hi guys does anyone know a supplier who has stock of rear driveshaft donuts, part number AR 15 015 018, for an early Alfetta.
I've bought them from OKP in Germany in the past but now they tell me they are no longer made by Pirelli.
The part I need has an alloy bush for the bolt not a tube like the later models - see the photo.
Thanks

Hi Bob, have you tried Chris at Highwood Alfa in the UK see www.highwoodalfa.com for their range of couplings. He is always helpful & the cost is quite reasonable.
Cheers,
Dan.
Alfetta 1.8 series 1 x 2

Thanks Dan, I've tried Chris & he has none.

Hi Bob,

I have no idea what it is? Where it goes? Or if it is right for you: but this thing on Ebay looks similar?

Hi that is a Donut for the front of the driveshaft.  There are 3 - front, middle & rear.

Hi, it is hard to tell from the diagram but I think my car has the ones that aren't available. I tried this company last year & they had none. Thanks

Bob, I believe I MAY have a NOS donut, will confirm which one it is when I get a chance (May not be until the weekend) I know they are an alloy looking type.

Thanks Frank, that looks like the part I need. I'm messaging the guy now.

Thanks again Frank my donuts arrived today. I'd tried everywhere to find these parts & had given up. This guy in Austria had more than ten!

That's great to hear Bob....so I hope you bought more than one ;)

Bob Morey

Sure did, I have a new one on the car & 2 spares. This should do my time with the car  :)

Bob - what year is your Alfetta?  I have a 6/76 1.8 sedan and always worry about these things disappearing. 
thanks Rowan

Hi Rowan, my car is an 11/76 model.  I'd given up trying to find rear donuts for my car until Frank posted his link above. I was getting ready to convert my car to the later style rear donut. The guy selling these donuts still has more apparently & is very easy to deal with.
