Dear Mark-Anthony
   
                    At least thats put some kind of valuation on it but,unless you live in Timbuktu,not quite as much as I was hoping.
   
              Thanks for the offer anyway D.L.

428 Frua Forum / ignition coil

« on: October 30, 2016, 08:55:35 »

Hi guys
          Does anyone know a good replacement ignition coil? Mine is suspect and the sticker for make and model is long gone, all I have is a number on the bottom of the casing, which is 0489.
          Also, it seems to have a ballast resistor in the circuit so assuming it's a 6 volt one. Does anyone know if that's correct.
   
       thanks Dave

Hi guys
   Car went for it's MOT and the inspector picked up on some very uneven wear on the fronts.
   I've had a quick google looking for cobra mk111 settings and didn't come up with anything. Does anyone know what they should be or where the info might be.
   Thanks in advance Dave

428 Frua Forum / engine overhaul

« on: April 10, 2013, 21:10:48 »

Hi Guys
          Getting the heads converted to run on unleaded, probably at the end of summer and while they're off I was going to replace the exhaust manifolds to stainless steel ones. Any idea on what would be the best ones to go for?
           Is it also worth changing the inlet manifold and carb, aswell? Got an Autolite on there at the moment and have heard they're not the greatest.
           Any advice would be appreciated.
                  Dave

428 Frua Forum / seat belts

« on: August 16, 2012, 11:48:17 »

Hi Guys
          Getting the interior sorted out this winter and, while I'm at it, I want to change the seat belts to inertia reel (god those statics get on my nerves). Does any one know if they were ever fitted as standard, if they were, what sort and, if not, has any one done this and what type did they go for?
           Also having a bit of trouble with the window switches. Trawled the interweb and the only ones similar seem to be american but couldn't find dimensions and tricky to tell if they'd fit from a picture. Again has any one had the same problem and have any good suggestions?
                    Thanks Dave

428 Frua Forum / Frua sills

« on: October 05, 2008, 19:57:07 »

Hi all
         The sills need to be replaced on the 428 and it's proving difficult to find anyone in my area willing to fabricate any.Does anyone know if there are any replacements available,unlikely I know,or are they really hard to recreate?
          Maybe everyone I've spoken to is really busy and they don't need the work.
   
           Thanks in anticipation
                      Dave

I have to get my 428 valued for insurance purposes.Does the club do valuations and if so could it be done with photos or does it have to be physically looked at.If it has to be looked at where would it have to go,bearing in mind it only does ten to the gallon,so I might have to sell it to be able to afford to get there.
