NOS Koni Load-levelers Value?

About two years ago I picked up a pair of new old stock Koni Load-levelers (part number 7100-1012), they have never been installed and are in pristine original condition. They were shipped out of Holland in their original boxes no less. I may put these up for sale and I thought I'd poll the group to...

Oh my Aaron, your right! Where did I get Campi from? My mistake, thanks for catching it. Delete "Campie", and insert "Cromodora". The description you gave is the same on all C/4s, Daytonas, QMs, early Boxers, and even GT4 2+2s. These (and yours) are the wheels in question. I do belive they are prima...

[quote="David Booth"]Assuming you're talking about the Campagnolo cast alloy wheels from the late 60s through the 70s and into the 80s, I can ask 'em.

I rebuilt my C/4 stalk years ago out of a small collection of parts, so I'm quite familiar with the issue. It occurs to me that "rapid prototyping" might be an answer here. Enormous strides have been made in both materials and cost. I've seen some of this stuff and several SLA base materials would w...

Steve,
Do you have links to the other two C/4s (Heritage Classics & Tonkin)? Studying C/4 details has become a special interest of mine.

This looks to be one of the more complete C/4's I've seen. Even the AIR system (original equipment on all US cars) seems to be all there. But it is quite dirty under the hood, below the hasty rag wipe down. And the universal clamp-on battery cables are a distraction, but that is a really minor point...

Star Wheel Material

Aaron asked about this in another thread, and I thought I'd bring it up separately. Aaron was asking if anyone knew what the Star wheels were made of. . I've been curios about this as well. I wondered about this a while back, so years ago I weighed one bare (without the center steel adapter-bolt-nut...

My brother is a professional mechanic and studied this for quite a while before settling on "Backyard Buddy" for his new home garage. He was impressed (as was I) with it's construction and completeness. Its a 4-post drive-on type (as suggested by Kerry), a configuration which has a few drawbacks as ...

I can second that on Grand Touring. They helped me in acquiring my C/4 back in 98, and even though I do most all of my own work they have been very supportive since. They are knowledgeable of and genuinely appreciate C/4's in particular. The blue Fairfax car looks compleat and original from the few ...

C/4s?

I keep wondering, just how many C/4 owners do we have here? It's been my dream car since I was sixteen, and about three and a half years ago I finally fulfilled it with 15215 (silver on black/red). It would be nice to find/create an informal owners-support group for the C/4 here on Tom's site. As I ...
