Hi all,
I finally took possesion of a '58 Giulietta, and now I am beginning to fine tune some things...
I am noticing some vibration in the hood around the right (when looking from the driver's seat) hood hinge. Another giulietta owner has suggested that the car should have a gasket/molding along the back portion of the engine compartment. I have found mention of such a gasket in the Centerline catalog, but it is for a Giulia (part WS182). Can anybody confirm whether my car should have this gasket, and whether the Centerline part would work in my case?
Second item:
The vent tubes, while sound, don't fit the tubes going through the firewall very well. So, I am planning on replacing the tubes with the correct black tubes. The guy I mentioned before is restoring a 101 Giulietta, and he has purchased a set of grommets/gaskets that fit around these tubes through the firewall. Then, the vent hoses seal to these grommets.
I can't find a grommet like that in any of the major supplier's catalogs. Any help out there with finding those things?
Here is a picture showing better the locations of what I am talking about.
Thanks everyone! It's good to be an Alfa Owner again, after 12 years away!
