Hey MD, I see you still got bugs in your undies. Thought you might have been calling ET on your radios and forgotten about your poor 75.
That GTV looks pretty good in that combination of colour coding . Hopefully it will find a good home and we can see progress on the 75. Question : have you seen a step step conversion of a twinspark from a 164 into a transaxle . It’s the only twinspark I could find as they are all getting snapped from the 75s by Alfaholics for their Junior customers . I will start a separate thread but just asking

Hi Kevin,

Well mate in the days of old when knights were bold and sheep were afraid, I was supplied with an 8v twin spark from the best friend man could have. It came from the land of funny cigarettes and flour mill turbines. I think they call them wind mills.
If you still have a need for one let me know and I will put out the word for you here in Oz. Given the crazy goings on with Fiat, Lancia and Alfa so we don't know who's up who and who's not payin', I'm thinking plant a 2 litre Lancia HF integrale 16v turbo .

Cheers.

Hi Kevin,
Good to hear from you. I don't recollect seeing your coil over set up. However I will just mention a couple of things.

1. The springs I use have a small radius 65mm ID.
2. The damper is an upside-down version so it requires little room below the UCA.

These short and small diameter springs can rate as high as 1600lbs/in.

Worth keeping in mind that the caster limit is about 3.5* before there is assembly contact with inner part of the UCA . Suit me fine . For more caster, the UCA would need provision for more clearance.

How does yours compare to this?

Never gotten to ask, but I'm super curious, How much drop did you achieve with the upside down ball joint, over stock spindle/A arm layout? Also are these from holden/opel/gm parts bin? Afaik kadett c had such balljoints.

Hi PietereQ

The lowest configuration that I have had is 80mm ground clearance.It is the only reference I can give you.
Refer packaging for ball joint details. I believe that Kadett had them over there
