I opened up my verde´s differential today and was alarmed to find that I do not have a limited slip differential. My diff is similar to the diagram in the manual, but it lacks the clutch plates. I am not sure what to make of this. Everything on my car appears to be totally stock. Does this mean that...

I am having a problem with my machinist friend. He is saying that regular machining will damage the perforated oil circulation ring on the inside of the gear. I think that this ring is damaged on one of my gears anyway. I noticed that Barry´s gear has this ring removed. Will machining damage this ri...

When I have my gears lightened with traditional high speed machining and drilling, will I need to have any hardening work done afterward? I thought that the outer gear surface was hardened and that the parts that would be subject to metal removal (inner area) were softer unhardened steel. Am I incor...

SamW,

I sent you a private message.

Here are some broken bits from my transmission that I cant seem to locate. anybody know where to get these? The race/ bearing item has one of its plastic fingers broken on one side. I am (gasp) considering cleaning the plastic and glueing it, :shock: please give me all of the reasons why I should no...

Hi all, I am James from Wisconsin and I have 2 Alfa75 milano verdes. I am in the process of shining them up and i am enjoying the process very much. I am 24 years old and I recently graduated from college. I have no square job at this time, and what little money I do have is being dumped into my car...

here is a direct link to the drawings: http://alfa.denovich.org/twiki/pub/Alfa ... gSpecs.pdf

JJ, Do you happen to know the specifications that were used in your gear lightening project? Are they similar to the technical drawings in the link above? Also, does anyone have anything to say about those drawings? Are they conservative? Can the cross drilling go all the way through? Am I thinking ...

Does anyone have a source in the US for the rubber flex boot that sits just outside the rear brakes?

I have been dealing with Andy at performatek and he has been great. Thanks for the recomendation.

Seb,

What kind of spoiler do you have attached to your front bumper? It looks very nice. I also am feeling euro bumper envy after looking at your photos.

Peter, I am pondering the idea of making my own cf/kevlar bonnet and trunk lid. I will not be getting to it for some time, but when I do I will post photos and so forth. I intend to purchase a vaccum bagging system so that I can do the job properly. I know it would be very innexpensive compared to i...

Jes,

Thanks for the link. I have read the text of that article before, but I had not seen the technical drawings.
I am very glad to have them. Also, the other links within lead to much useful information.

I only need original ratios for my own personal use. I would, however, like to have the gears lightened as that is widely considered to be a nice upgrade. I also am interested in longer synchro life. The idea of making close ratio gears would be a for sale type proposition. Another thread complained...

Top notch post Merril! Thanks for the advice. perhaps I will try to get my hands on some gears from the other transmissions for the purpose of copying them.
