Does anyone know the torque settings for the Chrome centre piece (8 bolts) for the magnesium minilite wheels as fitted to a few 428's?

Hi Ted, you are right! I replaced the distributer and coil and it solved the problem.

CF43 is most definitely not for hire!

428 Frua Forum / Replacement wheels for 428
« on: March 08, 2016, 13:12:25 »
Hi Andy,
   
   I originally called MWS but they now only do 6" wheels.  Thanks to Siegfried, I made contact with Turrino Wheels who can do 7" in chrome finish but no longer do 8" in anything other than alloy (over £1000 each)!
   As I will be keeping the original magnesium minilites and tyres, originality will always be a hammer away! I agree the Hexagon 428 looks fabulous. I will call MWS again and ask about the 8".
   
   Many thanks for your help. Mike

My 428 refuses to rev past 3750 rpm!  i replaced the holley which was warped with an edelbrock on the advice of Peter Knight with no improvement. so have now replaced fuel lines and fuel pump but problem still persists.  I have had the car on a rolling road to try and determine the cause without success.  it pulls strongly until the revs reach 3750 and then backfires and dies - does anyone have any ideas of where i need to go next in tracing the problem?

Hi, I am nearing completion of a light restoration/refurbishment of CF43 and would like to purchase an additional set of wheels.  The 428 has it's original magnesium minilites but I keep losing the balancing weights after only a few miles.  Has anyone fitted 7x15 wires rather than 6x15 and, if so, can you recommend a supplier? Any help would be gratefully received!
