I'm refurbishing the frame on a Duetto before I get a new top installed. I noticed that all the hinge points have a lot of slop. Looks like there should be a bushing insert but nothing, not a single one has even a remnant of plastic, nylon or plastic insert. Is this correct? If so, no problem, but if bushing needed are they available or do I head to Lowes/Hone Depot and fab up some? None of the Alfa parts sites list anything.

It seems to me that I sourced nylon spacers at Ace Hardware. You could use brass as well. Definitely want to use something as with bushings the top moves smoothly.

I'll be doing a duetto top next month so if you find the spacers before i do, please post.

Hi,

Not trying to hijack this thread but what are the differences between a Duetto top and the later ones ( 70 on ) ?

Thanks, Rick

Actually they are completely different. I'll post some pictures but i don't think there is a single part in common.
