Technical Dear Santa...

[disgusted]

I need:

A floor panel (driver's side in a LHD car)
Brake master cylinder
Brake fluid reservoir
Probably 4 wheel cylinders
2 sets of brake shoes
Brake hoses pair (rear)
A whole set of metal brake pipes
One pair of new brake shoes

Tyres!

If you can't put them in my stocking Santa, can you please tell me the best place to buy them?

What tyres are you after? 125R70?

I need:


2 sets of brake shoes

One pair of new brake shoes

thats going to confuse him, a set for the front and a set for the back, where do the other pair go?

I have a vaguely similar shopping list and of the various websites I visited, Fiat 500/126 was by far the cheapest.

Haven't yet ordered as car still not in bits! Anyone else used them?

Regards

Dear Santa

Please can Little Tommy have a rear seat cushion for Christmas - the hard metal floor is very cold in winter.


Dear Little Tommy

I've searched all over the North Pole and asked all my little helpers and they can't find one anywhere - they've said why don't you write a letter to the Fiat Forum, you never know your wishes might just come true for Christmas.


........ Bah Humbug!!...any colour (although ideally Black) but decent condition if possible???

 

[disgusted]

Well, Santa came up trumps. The list was fulfilled.

Motobambino in the cold and rainy North West proved to be exceptionally helpful with next day delivery even in the last few days before Christmas.

The floor is in (+ I needed an outer sill). TOTAL brake rebuild underway, all new stuff.

My New Year wish list includes:

A paint matching service (jolly custard colour - not a FIAT original).

Some "Goldentyre" 125/12 whitewalls.

An MOT!

Try 'Leo Van der Laan' in Holland- he has white-wall tyres for sale--I have dealt with him, first class guy, very easy to do business with parts arrived exactly when he advised.

 

[disgusted]

Thanks Hobbler. I'll give him a try.

Were they the "Goldentyre" ones?

I've found them in Italy (on eBay) at around £50 each plus £40 for the 4 to be shipped - but discussions are a bit tricky.

Dutch people always seem to speak such good English (+ 4 or 5 other languages!)...
