Help - Fiat 130 Coupe bits needed

Ok, had my new 130 out and about recently and am amassing a list of bits that need replacing or are missing. So here goes:

cill trim both sides
choke lever plastic toggle
radio and clock
plastic catch the rear blind clips onto

More to come probably. Anyone with a stash of spares out there? Brian?

Cheers

Chris from Cornwall - I dropped you an email a while back. What do you think about bits??

The 130 has been great - racking up the miles.

Hi, Chris-

I recently found a clock on eBay, and realized later that there were different ones made for left- and right-hand drive cars. the time set knob is closest to the driver in either case.

Here's another one I spotted on eBay, which is higher in price than what I paid for mine, but an alternative if another doesn't show up:

Hi Bret,

Thanks for the pointer. My car is a RHD with the 'winder' near the driver but the dash is a little butchered from the fitting of an aftermarket stereo. I figured the existing clock might be non standard as I thought it would be a Veglia instrument but it is just a generic square one?

Brian, thanks for having a dig. I'd appreciate it.

Can I post pics on here?

Cheers

Chris

Re: Help - Fiat 130 Coupe bits needed

pics are welcome, then we can see the damage dash, and the car looks good in silver (as per the pic you sent me) .......just looked at the clock on ebay! $128.00! or 100 euro`s for a LHD Clock! £83.34, all plus posage

Re: Help - Fiat 130 Coupe bits needed

you still awake juilan? was it still busy in blackpool after robbie williams switching the lights on?......i have a dash, etc, trouble is, not sure where they are (ie, which lock up!) unlike you who has the gear on racks

Membership Number: yes

Re: Help - Fiat 130 Coupe bits needed

I'll try and post pics of the dash. Other stuff seems to be just a clumsy hand over the years.

Staying on the same theme - I've been scouring ebay for weeks trying to source an owners manual as one didn't come with the car. It's been a case of "Oh, that does that!" so far. Does anyone have a spare they wouldn't mind selling, or even a photocopy!

Cheers

Chris

Re: Help - Fiat 130 Coupe bits needed

are you wanting a "workshop" manual? I have a photo copy,200 pages (!), 40 pounds plus postage,or the "owners handbook"?

Membership Number: yes

Re: Help - Fiat 130 Coupe bits needed

I don't have the workshop or owners manual, so both would be useful. Although I do have the parts catalogue...

Cheers

Re: Help - Fiat 130 Coupe bits needed

Hi all-

I've got a digital copy (pdf) of the service manual, but the file's too big to e-mail... over 200MB. If anyone's interested, I can put it on a disk and get it to you for the cost of postage.

Bret

Re: Help - Fiat 130 Coupe bits needed

Hi Bret,

That's brilliant - have sent an email.

cheers

Chris

Re: Help - Fiat 130 Coupe bits needed

Just giving this a bump - wondered if anyone had any luck locating the other bits - cill strips, choke lever, screen clip, clock, etc

Can trade for cash or beer

Cheers

Chris

Re: Help - Fiat 130 Coupe bits needed

okies for the reminder
did you get the pdf workshop manual off brett?

Membership Number: yes

Re: Help - Fiat 130 Coupe bits needed

Hey Brian,

Thanks - managed to download the PDF from Brett. Already putting it to use. You know what it's like when you have a new car in your possession - can't wait to get started on all those little jobs that need doing. I might even take her on a run up to Malvern on the 10th for the Classic Car show.

Cheers

Chris
