    The wheels very similar to “Delta” from a foundry in Milano.

    I think you mean “Mongo.” See, aren’t we all helpful around here?

    I can’t believe I read this whole thread... very sad. I could have been on AlfaBB where everyone is always helpful, courteous and respectful to newbies and oldies alike...?

    Thumbs up to the guys at PRDesign! I was able to install the repair bracket without any drama. The footwell carpet doesn’t need removal, just loosen the lower edge and corner just enough to access the port hole on the sheet metal. Using the bracket as the template for two 1/4” holes, nail punching the marks, drillIng, a bit of filing and the fiddly part of getting the backer plate piece in. Then bolt it up, set the pin, re glue the carpet and it’s done. Well worth the effort and price! Wife is happy!

    ‘73 Malaga VIN 2590923 originally purchased by David Zivnuska of Moraga, CA... The car wound up in Boulder CO with owners #2 (Robert Steinway, ‘95-‘02) and #3 (David Mohseni, ‘02-‘06), before returning to California with owner #4 (Peter Oxenbol, ‘06-‘18). The earliest photo of the car is from ‘98 when it graced the cover of of the BMWCCA Rocky Mtn Chapter newsletter.

    Great idea! Next version will be made of black iron pipe for riot control! Seriously, it fits nicely behind the rear strut tower brace. If needed, the stand pipe portion has a screwed coupling so I can adjust the height, and if needed unscrew the bottom half for compact storage.

    The strange looks at the station are nothing compared to the eye rolls from the wife! LOL! But it works great and that s all that matters.

    All the fuel gravity drains into the car via the white corrugated hose, which is about 16” long and an inch in diameter. Both ends can be capped once any excess fuel is wiped off so there are no fumes or spillage once stored in the trunk. If you’re thinking the fuel fills the black pipe, you don’t understand the concept.

    My solution for splash free, full flow filling... designed for my bad back so no need to crouch or squat with the higher location to insert the gas pump nozzle. The black pipe is essentially the stand which allows you to press down on the gas pump nozzle when filling; a corrugated hose is in the curved section of the pipe. PM me if you’re interested; I made a few extra.

    A grommet goes where the wire pulls through the fender.

    Mike, There's no reason why it shouldn’t work without the nub on the Teflon plug. As long as the plug rotates smoothly and the recess on the shaft side of the plug isn’t damaged, it should work. If you do want to ask the folks that designed the retrofit kit, contact Alloy Metal Products in Livermore, CA. They actually designed and manufacture the kit. Blunt is just the distributor. Ask for Fred Matter. He’s the president.

    Any plans to re-create the non-tii version of the emissions sticker that goes in the passenger side cowl area below the windshield?

    Looks like part of the route is on Shoreline Highway aka CA Hwy 1 along Keys Creek and Tomales Bay with a stop at Nick’s Cove... gotta love the West Marin backroads...

    It would help to know... How long has the door been out of alignment? Did you just replace the door seal? What brand seal did you procure (OEM, URO. other?) if you did replace them? How does the door close without the seal? Do the door gap appear even? How well does the seal fit in the channels? Is there any excess material? Binding? or pulling out of the channels? Answers to these questions will help you and FAQ members troubleshoot your door closure issues. Also, Replace the acorn cap on the door latch (it looks worn out) Adjust the door first, adjust the window fit second

    The valve part description says “it’s a pull to open” so your lever control may work backwards. What you want is a “quarter turn, pull to close” valve. Still, for $15, if you can make it work and the worse is having the control lever work backwards, that’s not too shabby at all.

    Rain and pandemic... I expect people will be hunkering down indoors this weekend and roads will be clear... The local Alfa club is having their Green Hills tour this Sunday regardless. For anyone wanting to check out classic Italian sports cars, the staging is in Novato, at the Starbucks Vintage Oaks Shopping Center from 8:30 to 9:15. The drive finishes up in Calistoga for lunch. The drive isn’t Alfa or vintage car exclusive (especially with wet weather in the forecast), so for those interested, it may be possible to join the drive to Calistoga. Anyway, get in your ‘02s, enjoy the hills while they’re emerald green (at least here in NorCal) and stay healthy out there!

    Went to a C&C to meet up with a couple of South Bay ‘02ers... helped to install a wind deflector on Pedram’s Agave ‘02 vintage roof rack (just like the the one I had made for mine to knock down the noise).

    “Low” temperature reading in the gauge could also be caused by the thermostat or temperature sender. The sender doesn’t typically go bad, but they’re inexpensive (<$10j if you want to swap it out; ditto the thermostat (~$25). John76 makes a good point about IR gauge accuracy. I’m guessing normal operating temperature should be in the 175-180F range. If your dash gauge reads 150-165F, an IR gauge or temp stick giving you +/- 5F accuracy may be good enough to tell you if you have a dash gauge issue or not. FWIW, my gauge reads on the “low” side as well, maybe 170-175F per the TechTip.

    I’d check it with one of these for $16 before futzing with the temp gauge. https://www.amazon.com/Etekcity-Lasergrip-774-Non-contact-Thermometer/dp/B00837ZGRY/ref=pd_cp_328_1/147-5689337-3082223?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00837ZGRY&pd_rd_r=d39c3e8d-0f62-4b6c-ae15-f4eb09ead529&pd_rd_w=moiy1&pd_rd_wg=n6rHm&pf_rd_p=4853e837-f87a-46d4-be32-dcf86bff7a7c&pf_rd_r=D6BFPXCS8Q15EDSRR1S8&psc=1&refRID=D6BFPXCS8Q15EDSRR1S8
