Looking at these at the moment for a late 70s 2.0 gtv.

They're available in 15x7 and 15x8 ,4x98 pcd, with a +25 et.

Has anyone else used these, or know whether the clearances are ok? I'd have to buy remotely and have them shipped, so no chance of a test fit unfortunately.
Cheers

Thank you to Ace for his recommendation to go to Italian Automotive Spares.

The service was excellent and I had the brake master cylinder delivered on the same day.

I've just replaced the one my GTV6. I removed one off my '84 Giulietta, exactly the same but fitted on the opposite side of the heater box to the V6. Still to get the second 3mm nut on the upper flange, very tight for space. I've heard that Beninca Motors have a CNC repro in metal. Someone on the alfabb.com mentioned adapting one from the MGB.

After any info on this 1980 Alfetta coupe. Was apparently sold out of a Victorian workshop maybe 5 years ago in the same condition as photo. Has been sprayed similar to Le Mans blue but witwas originally periwinkle blue.seems to have commenced possibly a race car project with the sound deadening removed along with some rust repairs. Has approximately 60k on the odometer

AH, much better. An instant crowd pleaser. No need for an air foil either. Bonus. ;D

Quote from: MD on March 13, 2024, 09:28:09 PMThat will never fit. You have made it upside down  ::)
No that's ok, I just need to flip it up the other way to make it fit.

Gee, I don't envy you (touch wood, i don't have to do mine soon!)

I changed the heater tap years ago on a 75 i had at the time and I did it in situ, didn't remove anything (console, dash etc.) and it was hell.

My current 75 works ok, but i have a spare ready for when it needs to be done and this time i'll do the needful as they say.

Do a search on this particular forum/chat and put in 'heater', you will get a few threads to read up on.

Some of the pics appear to have gone missing unfortunately.

Not sure on the state of your car but some of the threads put up a good case for fixing things whilst its
apart. As usual it'll be a bit of project creep!

I mean that spare part would cover off the tap and the radiator but needs a fair bit of disassembly on your part.

I have a couple of files/pdf's on the tips to remove the console, if you need them.

Cheers,

Paul.

My heater tap has finally decided to piddle on my left foot. In the short term (and cos I haven't needed the heater while it's hot) I just put a ball valve inline to stop the flow but as we come into winter I really need a heater.

How have people dealt with this in the past?

I found this for sale which could be a good solution but pulling the dash out to access the heater box is a big job so if I can avoid it somehow would be nice.
