Install the HVAC controller in the engine bay with cable. Put it where it should have been all along.

Can't comment on those wheels but my 86 GTV (same wheel arches) runs 15x7 with an ET of +25 with no problems at all. I have run both 205/50/15s and 205/55/15s and never come close to touching.

Thanks mate 👍

hi all
I thought to share that I have Benincas (legendary Alfa mechanics in Surry Hills, VIC) fit the Alfaholics stage 1 fast road suspension to my 1974 GTV2000 along with new GTA veloce 15' wheels and new tyres. Wow! All this has transformed my car from being very bumpy and uncomfortable in the city to being more pliant, more absorbing but also with much better roadholding. It's amazing. I highly recommend these kits and also Beninca's work (http://www.beninca.com.au/ ).

Thanks for the replies guys. Beninca's is close by so I will stop by and ask them about the repos.

I have recently rebuilt my GTV heater box and removing the dash and heater box is much easier than the 75. I also rebuilt my 75 heater box about 7 years ago as the fan had seized. I didn't touch the tap as I figured to leave alone something working well. My concerns about doing it in situ (besides the difficulty) is the potential for damage to the heater core. Or maybe it could be reaching end of life anyway. Has anyone found that the heater matrix fails?

But getting the dash off the 75 was not fun either.

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

Are there any recommendations for an auto electrician as my 78 Alfetta GTV needs urgent help. I live in Victoria Point south of Brisbane
