There is a centering bushing in the end of the driveshaft that rides on the output shaft at the rear of the transmission. These get dry, and will cause a significant vibration. Disassemble, clean and regrease, and you should see a notable difference.

Zinc chromate is still available from aircraft supply sources. Don't make a big deal about it, lest the environazis find out and take it away.

as I recall, there was a thread here some time back about this problem. The gist of it was that the inner part of the rim (between the bead seating area) must be painted to seal the wheels. If these wheels were made in the same manner as Campy's other period offerings, they were made of a magnesium/...

go to www.permatex.com there is a search box. put in "2B" and it will take you to the product. It is old fashioned stuff- shellac base- doesn't set up hard. It is widely available at auto parts stores. I worked for a BMW dealer in a past life, we used it for the express purpose of sealing studs for ...

My uncle owns Lusso #5931, the 9th to the last one built. He's had it since 1981, and I've done some of the maintenence work over the years, and also driven it extensively, perhaps more than he has. He has a 1969 Porsche 911E, the Ferrari, and a '67 Jag E roadster. I drove all 3 on the same day rece...

window regulator
Jay Leno made a great statement some years back regarding one of his Dusenbergs. He said that back then, technology was expensive, and labor was cheap. Now, the technology is cheap, and the labor expensive. FWIW, Alfas and Fiats have almost identical regulator assemblies. I was a professional auto m...
