Title: Fulvia 3 Plastic Grille fixings
Post by: Simon B on 13 April, 2025, 08:55:37 PM
I have just had some new paintwork on the front of the car and I’m wondering what the original grille fixings should be? Our car had a mismatched collection of oversized washers either side of the bodyshell secured by M4 nuts which clearly isn’t original. As I have the grille fixed now it’s pulled fairly tight to the bodyshell which makes fitting the inter headlight bezels tricky.

I’ve looked at the Tavola and it’s not particularly helpful, I’m wondering if there should be a grommet through the bodyshell with washers either side or a spacer tube through the grommet? Can anyone advise?

Many thanks

 No.4 are knurled nuts available at most Lancia specialists or possibly cheaper elsewhere?

Many thanks, perhaps the idea is that radiator grille is easily removed to facilitate fitting the stainless bezels on the UK cars? I’ll check with Omicron, the part number in Tavola is not the same though as the knurled nut used for the headlight surrounds on European cars.
