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.
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.
Do any of these match?

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.

Hi Bob,
Is this what you're after...

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 ;)
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.
Thanks Bob - I have ordered some

Hi Choderboy, this is a donut for a later Alfetta etc, i.e. after '77. This ad is actually mine, I bought this part when I thought I would have to convert my car to use a later donut.
Sorry I couldn't see the centre bearing due to the shadow.
Hi Bob and Rowan.
Could I bother you for the contact details of this supplier in Austria please? His contact details have since disappeared from ebay and we need donuts for our '74 Alfetta.
Much obliged for your assistance.
Cheers,
Henry.

I will try and find them. I have two full sets and would be happy to part with one for what they cost me, if you can wait a little for me to work out what that was. I am being pressured to sell my car so it is unlikely I will need two sets.

Hi Rowan.
I'd be very happy to take a set off your hands :). Can you confirm the parts numbers as stamped on the donuts;
88104 (rear)
88103 (centre)
88561 (front)
Cheers,
Henry.
I can't read the numbers very easily and not at all on the centre. Front is 88560/2 but bought from a local Alfa dealer as a front for that car and don't doubt it is right. The centre I cant read, but there is only one alloy based centre as far as I am aware. The rear is 19920. Also they all have Alfa part numbers which I can give you if they are any use to you. I also have photos I can text if you like. I am sure they are right and that perhaps the Pirelli numbers changed over time. PM me your number if you would like the photos
