Some firms are very arrogant.
I find that stupid.
They can't see what kind of customer I am by a letter.
You have to play there game.
Tell them you are interested in 25000 pieces.
Then you have there attention.
Ask for a few examples.
They will be in the next day if possible.
Thank them for the effort and that you found a cheaper supplier.
You got hunted for a year with offers

but you have a few kits to repair for free

The front brake-piston of a Visa/104 is the same as in a Murena but difficult to find.
Opel Ascona type B (81) and Kadett and some Corsa is also the same size.

Here one in a auction.

Useful information Herman, thanks.

We have a company in the UK that can now supply front and rear caliper seal kits and pistons, all at reasonable prices. Check out Bigg Red www.biggred.co.uk **2018 update: Bigg Red no longer supply the pistons.

don't know if someone's already spotted this but they sell some window switches in Cliffords that are identical to the original ones

I noticed the ones on matra magic were 17 quid but these ones are about a fiver I think

Oetker · September 18, 2014, 05:35:21 AM

Link?

I have bought several on E-bay and they work and fit but it is
Chinese quality and not as good as the original thing.

Every now and then the most used give up. (daily driver)
They are not expencive so have a few in stock.

There are also with illumination

Joe Webb · September 18, 2014, 10:10:57 AM

yup, those are the ones

I'm sure they'll be good enough quality for me

inside seals for brakes
hello (remember I am french, i take some infos here so i have to give some)
for consumables square seals (those inside brake) i ordered from REXBO
Article :
étriers AV en 48 1seul x Kit de réparation, étrier de frein 204807 >>joint (torique carrés) et cache poussière 1 seul kit d'un étrier de rallye 2 double pistons en 48 (moins de 10 euros)
étriers AR en 45 2 x Kit de réparation, étrier de frein 204508 >> joint (torique carrés) et cache poussière (env 14 euros piece)

http://caliper.budweg.com/Default.aspx

i try to translate
for front ONE kit 204807 (containing 2 squares toric seals diameter 48)
for rear 2 204508 (containing each one 45 mm seal)

Notice this is good ONLY if your anti dust seal are alright (I mean caliper looks OK from outside)

With some slight adjustments this ignition-barrel can be mounted in a Murena.

Not original Neiman but for 20 Euro incl shipment a bargain..

It's the same as from a Murena, only the lock is a few mm longer.

With a bit patience you can swap it..

Red = + and yellow is starter.

The yellow in this connector = + contact.
The yellow with stripe = + with contact on but switches of during start.

Tested in the place of the Murena lock.

Only the lock-pin is slightly out allignement (1mm or so).
Grind a bit of and the lock is a direct fit, the bolt to fasten it is in line

Cheap solution for a expensive lock.

Expansion bottles for Murena 1.6 for 24 Euro shipment included.
They are the same as Alfa 33.
For sale here

Cap =0.5 bar.
Better use the original cap, there is is a little difference in pressure.

Hi all:-
Can anybody out there tell me if Simon Autos is the only place I can get rear stabilizer (roll bar ) rubbers? I am after 4 of the little ones that link it to the swing arm and the two big ones for mounting to the chassis. 45GBP sounds a little expensive as I also have to get some swing arm rubbers from him.

Thanks, Tel

Oetker · September 07, 2015, 06:24:42 PM

Not a exact but it does the job.
From a vw corrado but I think others will fit to.

pics Richard

This is fitted on 1.6.
The stabilizer on a 2.2 are 2mm thicker so drill a bit of.

Oetker · September 07, 2015, 06:59:48 PM

Idea?...from Bart ....rose-joints
