Hi Tom,

Don`t worry, I really like your comments and highly appreciate all you are doing, also with your webpage - if you find any other "mistakes" don`t bother telling me...

Cheers,

Thank you all for those comments... Tom: honestly, I did attach those pictures on purpose behind the old topic, because they were done quickly with an old camera on a cloudy day after driving in the rain and I didn`t even polish the air housing ;-) Wanted to offer better pics...; so hope, the commun...

...sorry about the quality....

...had a nice weekend with my newly coloured America - running smooth - here are the first pics:

Just had a look - It`s a MagnetiMarelli GCA101/B - the glue on the brush holder is holding strong for the time - did some driving this weekend, very happy with the result of the restauration (at least for the time...)

You are right, Tom....; but after nearly 2 years (and spending about the same money as the 2002 sale price) it is quite important that restauration has finished (partly...) - about the alternator: my mechanic told me, that those broken brush holders are well known of breaking, but at least here in E...

...sorry, just found out it`s an alternator... Cheers..

Restoration on America 5035 is finished... ; however on first drive, found out that the generator is not charging correctly...; disassembled and found 2 brush holders are broken - are there any spares or new reproductions around? If somebody knows, please advice....
Thank you! Sloper

Thanks a lot for the hints and picture - did a lot of pictures before starting the restauration, however forgot the trunk, and with the carpet in again, couldn`t find the holes any longer - light will be in this evening and next week she should be ready for a drive!!! (after nearly 2 years of restau...

Cheers, Sloper

...my 5035`s upholstery parts are just coming together - any thoughts which screws originally were used to attach the upholstery parts to the chassis - seems they were single slotted - correct??? Some pictures around???

Thank you for your help!

...trying again....

....sorry, file is said to be too big - and me not able to make it smaller....
but try to mail it to Tom

Fortunately, there are some smart people around - so trying again.... engine is in, but lot of work still to do.....

Here are some samples of those headliners, Re-Originals are offering: For the America, either U20028/R and ..29/R are said to be correct - seems to be also similar to the one. which Tom sent me.... If you agree, they are close to the originals, I will start the order.... http://www.italiancarparts.c...
