steering wheels

Hi MJR, Well, I took the power steering set up from a 1992 Alfa 75, everything, pump, bracket, hoses, steering rack, and steering column. All metal components have been zinc plated to prevent rusting and to enhance the look, with a little jiggling the column fits perfectly. The car drives and respon...

Steering wheel

Hi GarthW, I find that having power steering on my GTV6 works really well, i have had GTV6's in the past and find them heavy at the best of times, especially when parking.

Hi Tony, I know how you feel, I dont get much time to work on mine either. I will manage to get in my garage tomorrow for the first time in 2 weeks.

Hi Tony, you can unbolt the clutch slave cylider from the gear box with alittle work. Never mind the jobs in the house, this is far more impotant!
Give me a call if you have any problems.

Hi Tony, Yes 14.00 saturday should be ok, I have always removed the gearbox first then the rear axle, it makes for a lighter transaction. But give me ring any time and I will be only too happy to help.

RSR springs

Hi Bruce, the rear springs do fit in the same place as the original springs, when I fitted mine I removed the rubber 'rings' that sit at the top and bottom. You will also need to drill a larger hole in the de-dion for the adjustable spring seat bolt.
