Sorry I don't have any, David.

Frank, awesome info on the motor choices, I'm sure this will be of interest and assistance to many other boxer newbies. Im quite happy to stick to my single carb 1.5 right now, its seems to pull quite well once it gets going

Martin,

Do you want an engine ... i can off load a 1.5 to you if you so desire.

Last time i knew they were reasonably good.

Again Martin ... let me know

Cheers

Guys,
I've got some wheel studs to go onto the sprint. Not sure if I should loctite them in with a light or
medium strength  version? Any thoughts? Thanks, Martin

I'd say you would need something quite permanent otherwise they may undo when you undo the nuts
I'm sure someone else will chime in with a better answer

Use the high strength loctite as the constant loosening and tightening will loosen the studs off, and the best way to loosen loctite is to heat it up, and those hub bearings sure get hot, and if you have outboard brakes, more heat again, a tip on removing loctite, use a oxy acetelene flame or a heat gun, and when the loctite starts to smoke, it will burn away, wait till it cools, undo fastener, Colin.

Hi,
Time is getting away these days, so I havent had time to trial fit your old wheels or my custom flares, but the new studs are in and it survived the first motorkhana. Much more fun with the FWD/hydraulic handbrake combo than the Alfetta on tight turns in the dirt. I should take some pics and post them..

Would be good to see some pics of the sprint in action
Here is one of mine as it is at the moment, not much action yet. Hoping to register soon. Finally got a set of tyres for the rims I had. 195/50/15's

[stuka]

looking forward to an update on this?

are strut tower braces worthwhile and are they available?

[Fetta GTV]

I dont think that a Strut tower brace would do much as there is a substantial brace already.
I hear that the brace that goes from the chassis rail up to near the strut tower is worthwhile.
They had them on the 16v 33's
