Good evening,
My 85 GTV-6 has a spindle that is not drilled to accept a cotter pin
lock for a castellated nut. There are several possible fixes, can you
help with any of them?
1) drill the the spindle to accept a cotter pin, the simplest solution.
I hear DiFatta does this. Any advise as to if this can be done without
disassembling everything and going to the drill press?
2) secure flanged nuts that allegedly were used on late model 75's in
Europe. Ed @ DiFatta knows what they are but does not have any. I
contacted Highwood in England and await a response. Do you know where I
can get some?
3) pursue the "Mercedes" type hub nut that has a locking set screw. I
did find these through a website called dealer to dealer BUT it involves
placing separate orders and I will actually need an additional set of
the washers according to the folks at AlfaGTV6.com
