Hi All, can someone please confirm the dimensions of the front S2 Girling split pins that keep the brake pad in place? Struggling to find the dimensions online and the ones that came off my one seemed a bit short in length and have been well used. I'm based in South Africa and its not just a matter ...

Hi Lancia 7550, your post couldn't have come at a better time as I had exactly the same question. Just out of curiosity what make are the valve stem seals you received with your engine gasket set?

The washer on the bolt head and nut side are also 2mm thick. I have checked and the mounting side of ...

Hi Guys, Need some guidance please relating to a late S2 Fulvia front suspension with the pressed upper wishbones. I am rebuilding the subframe (took apart some years ago).
