Long shot I know, but my rusty but otherwise complete car missing these items.
Similarly if anyone is aware of repro examples being produced anywhere I'd be grateful for the info.

thanks

I think Alfa Franjo did the blanking plate.

I had hopes there but looks like they only do the later versions (will ask now incase they hold something in older inventory!)

(21) Radio blanking plate repro in progress | Alfa Romeo Forums (alfabb.com) is this the same?

 

[Fwkwallis]

Looks like the one... Didn't see listed for sale but have mailed so fingers crossed. Many thanks for the heads up.

Cheers!....pm sent!

 

[Fwkwallis]

Not the ones I need so still looking.....

Unfortunately Franjo isn't making them....so forlorn bounce one last time

I have a coffee can with several old lighters. Condition unknown. Does anyone out there have a tutorial for rebuilding / restoring the old lighters?

Am missing the push in part....in some respects I'm not concerned if it actually works but plugs the ugly hole in the dash.

Sorry, I have the other style, drop-in cig lighters.

I;'ve rebuilt a few of them, theres not a lot to them. Usually, typically the fuse on the back side gets melted thru. If you bypass the fuse, you can measure with a voltmeter whether they are shorted (sometimes , and then you have to fix the sliding contact) or open (again, either the sliding contact, or the element). They can be fiddly for sure.
