Guy, sounds like a great endeavor you have going on!

This is a bit of a thread high-jack but one of the things I have been battling with is the wheel centers for Fulvias. There are two different types I think (S1 & S2-3) but most are now tatty and I have never been able to find a source of new ones (I'm sorting my stuff to go to the platers as I write!). Getting old ones up to scratch is proving practically impossible as they need stripping, re-coating then colouring which is v-expensive and I've had no luck finding anyone who is prepared to take it on.

Happy for this to be moved to another thread rather than clutter this one.

Thanks
Neil

On Fulvia wheel centres I believe these are being manufactured??? I knew that Omicron had a stock...

Neil, thank you for your kind words - and food for thought.  :)

Wheel centre badges for a lot of Lancias come and go - I bought some from Fiat for Montecarlo S2 a while ago, but now they say there is no stock again.  I will definitely be making early Beta and Montecarlo ones in the near future.

Fulvia ones have a habit of flying off into the weeds, so maybe there's room for improvement there too.  :o

Regards,

"Fulvia ones have a habit of flying off into the weeds, so maybe there's room for improvement there" M5 nylock nuts are my improvement.

Good point Tim, but there's still the dodgy alloy holding a stud...  :o
