Hello from Sydney Australia

[austspider]

I am looking for a pair of door lugs (the triangle pieces of rubber which are screwed onto the doors). I have found them OS but not here.

Also looking for some black sun visors.

I got my replacement door lugs from Bruce's Parts Bin in the US - they weren't that expensive from memory and postage would be pretty cheap. You might also want to try International Auto Parts, Auto Ricambi, Vicks, Bayless or Spider Point.

Don't have any spare sunvisors sorry.

I brought my sun visors from Bruces

austspider - You need to come to the Fiat Club meeting this com ing Tuesday night 8:00pm (9th Feb ) http://www.fiatclub.com.au

There will be three spider owners/forum members there ! - me, ITA124 and 124spiderman

[austspider]

Thanks for the invitation. I will try and make it.
Is purchasing parts from OS suppliers quick & easy?

[perthling]

I've found it a bit hit and miss - but other forum members have had different experiences from mine. Search the forum for 'vendors' and you can read some of the posts about different suppliers and members' experiences.

Hi Perthling,

Do you know if it were possible for me to get in contact with Scott. I would like to know a bit more about the history of the car so that I can keep it on file.

For my fellow Sydney Spider owners, do you guys know where I could get some 15inch wheels for the car. It has 13's at the moment and I would like to store them.

Thanks

15" wheels are hard to come by ! - Just get checking ebay they do come up now and then.

... also check the Alfa Romeo wrecking yards. The 105 GTVs and 4cyl Alfettas had the same 98mm pcd and being rear wheel drive have similar rim offsets. The 15 x 7" Simmons V4s on my SPYDUH were off an Alfetta GTV in a wrecking yard - $50 each

[austspider]

I have spent the last couple of weeks detailing the car. Looking really nice. I will post pic's once I take them and figure out how to post them.

Mate,

Do a search on the topic of uploading photos, I think Ron wrote a tutorial.

And now that you have it all polished, bring it out for the Show & Shine next month.

Adrian, what kind of monster are you guys raffling off?
I didn't do a tutorial, I couldn't do as good a job as Bernie did:

[adrians]

Ron - okay i thought you had done it...

It will be a RUST Monster since it's Fiat related.

BTW - The Fiat 500 of Italy has 20,000 members and a staff of 12 people, BIG Business in Italy.

[austspider]

Thanks for the invite Adrian. I assume non club members can attend.
Also I was wondering does anyone have a sunvisor bracket (or pin) that sits close to the rear view mirror. I have new visors but missing just one bracket. I have looked online but can't find one.

Thanks

[austspider]

Here are a couple of pics of my car. No show stopper but neat and heaps of fun.

austspider,

So you coming out to Ansell Park on the 21st for the Motorkhanna and Show and Shine ?
