Ti Super Wheels: Drum brakes...?
Hello,
My 20 cents.
As far as the 4-door Giulia is concerned, back in '65 there was mainly the Ti and the 'others': The new 'Super' and the 'Ti Super'.
So the documentation was on the same scheme: Ti owner's book as a standard for everybody and supplement booklet for Super or Ti Super.
Same for spare parts: The Ti super spare part featured only item which were different from the standard Ti.
I had the chance to have a look to this spare parts supplement (booklet, list WITHOUT PICTURES), 10 years ago or so.
And the funny thing was that the catalog features some elements 'For cars fitted with discs' (steering column, floors, and some other parts).
Of course, no brake drum or related part in the catalog (logically carried over from the Ti, so no need to appear in the supplement) but we may suppose that Ti Super was intended to be delivered with drums as a standard equipment and disc as an option.
Then later the option may have been removed or the customer had no choice (very common practice, for rear seats for example, as far as I can remember: If you wanted your car to be delivered in a reasonable delay, you had to order it with the option )
About the wheel I didn't pay attention to the wheels offered, but as the booklet was TEXT, it may not have helped much. To be honest at this time I believed that the wheels were steel and anyway I was not interested in this boxy saloon (I learned since..)
Different theory than the 'Ti with Tisuper wheel for shooting'.
Any opinion or better : Do someone around have this booklet or the driver's supplement ? Document are better than memory.
best regards
Sébastien
