Rebuilding gearbox for friend. It needs one new selector sleeve. Are the 'standard' sleeves from the usual UK suppliers  now 'good', or is there a better option?

Thanks Anth73,
Much appreciated.
I might have to settle for as close as I can get to original specs.
Can you PM me your ph number and a photo of the engine?

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a 1600 engine to fit to my 1972 1600 GT Junior.
It has a 1750 on an AR001600 block so I'm hoping to return the car to original specs.
Thanks
Rex

By 1972 I'm pretty sure the 536 series engines had moved to the spin on oil filter instead of the earlier cartridge style used in the GT Veloce.

I do have a 536 Veloce block and head but it won't be period correct for your car.

Hi everyone,
I have a 1972 GT 1600 Junior that acquired a 1750 engine some time in its life!
I'm looking for a 1600 engine (AR00536*) so I can restore the car to original specs.
As far as I can tell there were only 889 of the GT 1600 Junior made in 1972.
Happy for any advice.
Thanks
Rex

I have a borescope you can borrow.  Have you tried an electricians "snake"?  Pushing it down the pillar then pulling the hose back up?

Hello

  Read from the bottom up- of the email conversation below.
  there were some pictures sent from him-  first wrong bumpers-  then he magically had the right ones. 
  i sent him a picture with a request for a measurement-  that really stumpted him/her!!
  Just be aware!!

  I was contacted by user  raymondwes=  zero posts
he said..

"hello are you still interested in getting this?.
you can contact Ryan he has a ONE piece bumpers alfa 105 1600 gt for sale........... PM him @ ryanbull283@gmail.com"

email conversation..
Hello Damien,not heard back from you ? Do have a beautiful day ahead....

116 Series (Alfetta Sedan/GT/GTV & Giulietta Sedan) / Re-installing sunroof drain ho...

Last post by GTVeloce - September 29, 2024, 10:29:40 PM

Has anyone had any experience or ideas re-installing the front sunroof drains? I made the mistake of removing the front passenger side sunroof drain and now I can't get it back in!

I am trying to install in the reverse of the way it came out so I am trying to push it back up. I have got it about 2/3 of the way up the A pillar and it appears to hit something solid which I can't get past. What could be obstructing it? Surely it is smooth metal until the top?

I thought it may have been a little piece of metal from the drill hole for the A pillar trim but I can tell the hose has gone an inch or so past that hole so not that.

Needless to say, the other drain hoses will be cleared in situ!
