Hi Kieth, I'm not sure of the mountings origin but it was fitted to a 2.0L autograss racer (a Sunbeam I think) and the good news is I've finally found it. As usual it came to light when I was looking for something else, in a place I never thought it would be. I'm a bit behind with everything at the ...

Hi Keith, I ended up paying £41 all told for the bearing, I think it was the fact that Fiat originally quoted me £18 (if they had one) that got me thinking it would be along those lines so over twice that was a bit of a jolt, anyway, it does'nt matter now, I'm moving the job on and thats what counts...

Hey chaps, sorry for the dely but I've finally made headway with my spigot bearing, firstly Keith, I located a new bearing from Ricambio,thanks for the steer, they were the last on my list (no particular reason) and I was starting to think there were none left, however, these guys had all the remain...

Mind you, I think my rods were a tad too small, the pressure builds up and explodes out around the tiny gap betw...

Thanks Alec, to be honest I have no idea what type the bearing is, it looks solid to me. I will get the calipers on it today and tomorrow I'll go and get a short rod turned down to fit. I'm hoping to get it out undamaged in case I have to get a new one made but I'm not hopeful, its been in there a l...

Hello all, I hope someone can help me with a little problem I'm having (dont worry, its nothing medical :oops: ) I am using a lovely Lancia 2.0 with a known history and low milage in my van but I am faced with the usual issues of converting the transverse setup to inline, no probs with most of it as...
