Thanks for the info--I was in England from June 5 to 14, and while there enjoyed dinner at AlfaZagato's on a v. nice Friday evening.

My Spider is running well enough for summer fun. The front 3-shoes are in pretty good adjustment and the new Conti Pros feel and look good. 175/65/15 on Fergat wheels. Haven't had a chance to try them in the wet.

Clearance is good as some fairly aggressive driving on humpy-bumpy twisties with fresh stock springs, shocks, and ride height produced no body rub at all.

Come the Winter shut down, it seems like a good idea to go to modern light-weight disc brakes at both ends. The 2 L rear axle with the 4.1 diff has yet to be installed.

The 2 L has enough torque that I dont need to use first other than when starting on a hill. The tuning is not completed and the end result will be a nice quick driver.
