WTB - Rear Donut for Alfetta GT 1.8

[Craig Sinclair]

I need a rear donut specifically for an Alfetta GT 1.8. If anyone has one (NOS?) they can spare, I need one to be able to run Winton on the 10th. (Drop me a line here.)  Thanks! Craig.

Craig, you can buy an alloy donut for your 1.8 from International Auto Parts in the US.. Or you can convert the whole tail shaft to a later series with the more readily available donuts from a local spare parts supplier.you must also space the front donut with washers as the you will find the later tailshaft is about 3mm short, I know because Ive just done the conversion on my Alfetta GT
Good Luck John

Thanks for that info John. Looks like that is the "long term" fix, as the originals are a rare spare. My mechanic has NOS of the other two donuts in his stock, but not the rear one. He can however get me one, but  "at a price". I'll probably go for that as the quick fix because I want to run Winton next weekend. Cheers, Craig.
