Alfetta sports rear springs

Posted on November 11th, 2019

One of the many questions we receive about suspension upgrades for 116 Alfetta, GTV6 and 75s, is regarding rear springs and ride height options.

As well as the adjustable rear springs and platforms for track day cars, we also have two styles of road springs available. The first is from Eibach. these give a nice ride height, but can be a little taller than some customers request. The other set are listed as Alfetta sports springs. these are made in Italy and give a slightly lower ride height.

pictured below is the same car sporting both sets.

and the same car with our sports rear spring set

 

Thank you to Richard in New Zealand for sending the photos, its a great looking car!

1980s advert

Posted on August 19th, 2019

I have just come across this advert we did for the AROC magazine back in the late 1980s.

30 years on were still selling the same kind of parts, with Alfetta and GTV6 parts a specialty.

Prop couplings and exhausts still selling well.

the text for the carb mounts is so typical of Davids sense of humor.

Uni-ball watts linkage kit

Posted on May 2nd, 2019

We are now able to offer a uni-ball adjustable watts linkage kits for Alfetta 116, GTV6 and Alfa 75’s.

The standard linkage uses nylon and rubber bushes that can give excessive movement, so the use of uni-ball rod ends eliminates this. The anodized alloy rods are also left and right hand threaded, so its possible to adjust the length, which is required when lowering the ride height.

The center boss is mounted with roller bearings, and the kit is supplied with all new nuts, bolts and centering spacers.
