OLD THREAD. Text here removed due to being way out of date.
If it helps, I have my tail shaft out from my 2L, if you want to check it out for comparison, give me a call.
I might be interested in a set of donuts as spares.

I think they tend to be pretty inconsistent between cars in typical Alfa fashion, so I'll just pull mine to find out, but thanks for the offer...
I'll keep you in mind when I'm up to ordering them though.
Just about everything on the 6cyl is bigger and of course more expensive, I discovered this when I replaced them all on my 3.0l. Richard at Avanti Spares in Brisneeland seems to have about the best price including shipping.
Good Luck

Did anyone sort out the best source for these doughnuts?
I am getting the same $350 pricing from Australian sources.
Hi Guys,
I regularly see them on Ebay for a lot less than $350,$130-$160 mostly from AutoRicambi.
Cheers

it really depends on the year of the car as to the price of donuts. Certain year models are really expensive, others are quite cheap. What model and what year model did you need and which donuts? front mid or rear?
1979 gtv.
Looking for front, mid and rears.
I buy donuts for my '76 GT online from OKP in Germany - http://www.okp.de/t3/index.php?id=30&L=1 Very easy to deal with & mine cost about AUD 220.00 landed in Oz.
Alfetta donuts changed in australia with the different engine sizes 1.8Ltr cars donuts have a smaller diameter and different centres , there shape is more classic donut
then the Alfetta 2Ltr was introduced the donuts changed slightly in diameter and shape at the same time the transaxle was changed with a different gearset with similar ratios but a different cut on the helicals and larger bearings on the mainshaft and differential carrier
then came the V6 GTV's and 75's this time the donut size changed considerably so did the drive shafts also the diff went from 2 pinion to 4 pinion. this the reason for so many variants AS the power went UP so did the size of drivetrain components
