The 1962 Veloce Spider is being reassembled after restoration and there are a couple of points I need help with.
Firstly, the engine went back in yesterday and has a new (from Classic Alfa) Veloce manifold - this has several separate downpipes.
The problem is that it fouls the back of the pedal box.
Classic Alfa say that this is due to inaccurate manufacturing of the manifold.
The only remedy seems to be to rebend one of the downpipes to get it to fit.
Any ideas?
The second question is re the rubber seal between the bootlid (trunk) and the bodywork.
The seal (once again from Classic Alfa) is approx square section (about 1/2 inch per side), with an offset U channel in it. Is the seal fixed to the bootlid or the bodywork? Also what position is the U channel?
If someone has a photo that would be really good.
Thanks for you help
Alan
