Aldo Broverone's Opinion on Fulvia Sport

[racing]

You are welcome.

Maybe the painter has done his work until then.

Have found also one in yellow. Not so bad.

[bmarler]

yes , i agree the yellow is not so bad. sure to stand out in a crowd.
tough choice though, i too will have this choice some day.

[racing]

this weekend i received the brake caliper back from chromating.
So i was able to assemble them with new seal´s of course.

[racing]

the new front wishbone with new bearings ( negativ chamber ) and rear brake caliper

[bmarler]

are the wishbones supplied as a kit? you can determine camber by length of tubing? the finished wishbones look very good.
i have a question regarding assembling the ball joints into the wishbone, are the three studs strong enough to pull the joint into position? i know it is probably best to remove the wishbone and press them in but if one is to change the joints while the arms are on the car can this be done?
disregard the question of using the studs to pull in the ball joint. i have removed the lower wishbone now and will use a press to install the new ones.
do you have a picture of the new ball joints before installation?

No, i have prepared the old one.Means cut the tubes and seperate the single parts. Sent this to the supplier
and get it back welded. It´s not possible to do this without a device/rig.
The painting i do by my self.

are the three studs strong enough to pull the joint into position?

I don´t think so. I would not suggested to do that. Also for the assembling you need a lot of force without
the risk of cant the ball joint.


do you have a picture of the new ball joints before installation

Sorry but i don´t. The ball joints are standard parts as you can buy. What is your question behind that.

For the new one i use a parallel vice ( big old one from my grandfather ) with tubes ( diameter and lenght must be fit )

[bmarler]

thank you for the kind reply,
i only ask because i am working on this area of my car right now. i have the lower wishbone removed, and am replacing both ball joints. i was waiting for new parts to arrive to help me see exactly how the assembly is put together. i will do as you do and use tubes to push the new parts into place.
is the benefit of the altered steering geometry for track use, or is there benefit for street car as well?
regards,
brian
