Six-cylinder Posted July 8, 2020 Author Share Posted July 8, 2020 Now more Italian content, I went to see my Trevi yesterday and am very pleased how it is going. They have done the underside welding and say all the holes were small ones! They have it running but wonder if the carb is of a 1600cc as it does not run well. They have given me a list of parts they want me to get and this does not feel a bad list. Plastic header tank Throttle cable Washer bottle 2 wheel bolts Light switch Four tyres rear brake pads Spark plugs Great guys at the garage and I feel we will be on the road looking still looking tatty in a few weeks.

Bolts come up as whole page including 126 ones, but no way of telling if that will fit. I am going to take a Gamma bolt out and see if they are the same. Two types of pad seem to come up and I don't know which ones I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Garage that said they would fix the Alfa have gone all difficult on me so I guess I need to find somebody else. I did PM you a while back but not sure if you saw it, there's an Alfa specialist around the corner from me who have had quite the collection of marvellous old tat in being worked on. I've seen a GTV and 75 in their workshop, might be worth an ask although it isn't exactly on your doorstep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyrew Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Nowhere near the same but think I've got a couple of jimny or sj washer tank and pumps kicking around you can have free if you wanted something to chuck in for the mot. Very simple but small tanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catsinthewelder Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Am I going mad or has the field of dreams thread vanished? Weather is looking good from Friday lunchtime onwards but very wet beforehand so I think I'll set off on Friday morning rather than tomorrow. Engine is back together with proper gaskets and I've bought some threaded rod to make a replacement engine mounting.

Sort of, same thread but I altered the title with the Renault 11 excitement. FoD stuff is just a few pages back. I try to keep all my stuff under Six Cylinders Motoring notes so if you are not keen on my stuff I only pollute one thread. Just for you I will change the title back. I think weather wise it is a good call not to arrive until Friday.
