Thanks for the thread - this is a good idea.
On a 156 - the boot badge fits in the front 75mm Ø - but it is curved so you have to build it up at the back to stick to the flat surface. Just posted the same in classifieds:

Aaah, great idea!
Old Giulietta 116 and GTV 116 share almost ALL mechanical parts, my dad and I used to swop out the 2.0 GTV's parts to the Giulietta 2.0 all the time!

VW radiator and waterbottle also fit in 80's Alfas.

I've looked at the 159 seats and steering wheel, I'm sure it will fit in the Giulietta GQV.

The facelift 147's boot fits straight onto the normal 147, lights and all!

 

You can use a FIAT Uno clutch slave cylinder kit in the Giulias, Alfettas, GTV's as well as in my 155 16V.

Is there a cheaper alternative Oil Filter to the now costly Z147 used in the old Giulas and Alfettas?

 

I use the Z96 filter in my Alfetta GTV 2000.

 

Lekker ou Ford V6 filter :lol:

 

The Ford filter was a Z95

 

Alfa's have parts from all sorts in them. The D102 front brake pads for the Alfetta/Giulietta's where used in some rear end of a Merc around that time as well. The Side shaft boots where from a VW combi if i remember correctly but not certain on that 1.

 

The D102 front brake pads for the Alfetta/Giulietta's were used in some rear end of a Merc around that time as well.

Thought it was the same as the rear of the old BMW 733.

 

According to the Gud catalog it the z95 was used in Alfa Sud, 155 QV, Daihatsu commercial, house full of Fords, Lancia, Mazda bakkies, MG, Toyota Cressida and Hilux. Nice having a catalog.

 

I also have one at the shop very useful especially if your looking at thread an filter sizes.

 

alfa 916 GTV wiper blades are difficult to get. The Renault Espace uses a direct match, including sprayers. Around R500 for both! The left side is slightly larger so that means the last 50mm doesn't reach the outer edge of the curved windscreen but that's no biggie :thumbs:

 

BMW/Merc/Opel 7 pin module works on the old alfas with nord motors, well at least my 2.0l from 1985.
Had an issue with erratic revving and non-starting.

 

Mods, can you please make this a sticky :thumbs:

 

and combine them please.

 

please....

 

116 Alfetta/Giulietta/ GTV
Tie-rod ends = Toyota Cressida
CV Boots = VW Citi Golf

Had to redo right-front CV on my 916 GTV 3.0 last week, and inner CV head is from a VW Microbus, outer is Alfa only part.

When looking for new parts for the Alfetta, I always take a sample with to the spares shop (normally Naskar in Silverton) and then match it up there - the Alfa parts aren't always listed in their books, but you can get away with a lot of things, cheaper things, for other cars.

 

116 Alfetta/Giulietta/ GTV
Tie-rod ends = Toyota Cressida

This right here is going to save me a penny :thumbs: thanks!

Eric, Kev...
Sticky please... this thread is very useful. Especially for the "older" alfas...

 

The Toyota Camry 3.0 1992 to 1996 out CV boot fits the outer of the 916 3.0 cv.

 

159Jts back brake pads with minor edge grinding required. Ferodo FDB1617 Nissan MICRA/RENAULT PADS +-R450

 

Mark Cooper has some good advice on 105 series clutch seals fit the 916 GTV... And bonnet gas lifters for R95 each:

new giulietta brake pads same as alfa 166

 

916 Clutch Slave Cylinder

916 series 2.0 Twinspark clutch slave cylinder is the same as a Fiat Uno.

 

The gas strut needed for the 916 GTV/Spider bonnet is K670-18-295 from the McNaugtans catalog in Gertie's post above.

 

Great idea.Many tell me the selespeed pump and goodies can be matched to the BMW'S with triptronic and costs mutch less.

 

Bought the gas struts from Mcnaughtans and the P/N is K4049 650 mm strut and pumped to 200n. You can use the fittings that come of the old struts. The cost was R86.64. The Rep for PTA was so nice as to deliver to my house. Now that's what I call service. Well done Mcnaughtans. :thumbs::thumbs:

 

Please forward me his/her details - I need a set for the GreenTV as well

 

Struts installed.

 

The Mcnaugtans contact is Johan and tel: 0113341630. Or just ask for the PTA rep.

 

Giulietta radiator hose - top one between the rad cap and the thermostat can be bought from Autozone.
It is a RAM product with code RAM.RH7213 for R125ish.

It fits well as the bends and lenght is correct. Don't know for which car it is designated.

 

Excellent info!
