This
mounting - #42 - is a hard rubber block with a short integral metal
tube for the shackle bolt, and is located within the back end of the
rear "chassis" frame tube on Flavia, 2000 and Fulvia
cars.Suspension Parts.
Herewith a couple of photos of rubber bushes we have been remanufacturing for a while now. Please enquire (non Consortium members) if you are in need of any of the items shown, as we may be able to sell you some if there is a temporary surplus. All these bushes have been tried and tested, and indeed some are supplied to the Lancia restoration trade - with whose names you may be quite familiar...
Stabiliser bar bushes (Flavia and 2000) Front wishbone to spring buffers (Flavia and 2000).
These are all made from vulcanised rubber, not polyurethane, as were the bushes fitted as O/E. Changing bushes that have not been replaced within living memory is always an improvement, particularly in the case of 81603055: these do a lot of work, and can become very hard and non-compliant. It has been said that replacing the spring-to-wishbone buffers (always change both sides) can most noticeably improve a cars handling and ride.

Silicone Rubber Hoses.Consortium member David Gee has a website: http://www.classicsiliconehoses.com/price-list/
- which includes some Flavia and 2000 water hoses re-manufactured in
silicone rubber.
These are based on pattern OE hoses. Prices are as listed
for 2011, so may have changed and I expect it will be necessary to
allow for p&p too. Delivery will, as always, depend on the
stock currently in hand.

Cars for Sale.
Flavia Vignale 1964. - for restoration.
"The car needed all cills on one side; these were made and partly welded in, but the rest of the floor pan etc. was not finished. The car still starts and runs. The brakes were rebuilt before storage, and it has a stainless steel exhaust.
We
have somehow acquired 4 of these rogue clutch release bearings - part #
82277893 - suitable for the S2 and S3 Fulvia. In fact this
mistake is easily made as they are almost identical to the clutch
release bearing for the 2000, even at a prolonged look.
These
have been kicking around for ages. The approx. dimensions are:
length 30 mm., internal diameter 28.4 mm., and
external diameter 34 mm.
