Title: Donuts for '76 Alfetta Gt
Post by: Bob Morey on September 05, 2012, 07:55:55 AM
Can anyone suggest where I could buy front & rear driveshaft donuts for a '76 Alfetta GT.  These are the type with the alloy bosses.
Thanks

If you are doing front and rear, you may as well do centre and the carrier as well, it is the one job while it is all out.

Thanks Neil, I've tried The Spares Place & Turin Imports.  Neither of those places have had these donuts for a while.  I usually get them from OKP in Germany but they don't have stock of the rear at the moment.

There was a suggestion on alfabb to try highwood Alfa in the UK. I don't think IAP has the early ones.

Later donuts are common, GT's are rarer, yes, try Highwood, they are pretty good.

Funny how they vary from model to model.

Wanksi,
I have the attached donuts available, i know one is the middle donut, though not sure of the other. Does it suit what you are looking for?

You may be right - I was going on what I read on Alfabb saying that no american distributor could supply them (including IAP) any more.

Guys the donuts for an my early Alfetta are like the ones DJM411 shows.  They have alloy bosses for the bolts, not tubular ones like on 2 of the 3 shown on the IAP site.
