Lancia flashlight for Beta and Fulvia
« on: 08 August, 2024, 09:44:38 AM »
Some years ago I bought this pretty little Lancia flashlight.
It does not work, but perhaps some modern internals could fix it?
You plug it into the accessory connection under the dash of you Fulvia, or Beta.
Let me know if you are interested, 150£ plus postage from Norway

I've got one of these too but for the life of me I cannot get the outer cover to slide... If anyone has a trick they know to unseize them I'd appreciate it!

mine slides freely.
Perhaps hot water for some time would do the trick?

Tried heat from a kettle, penetrating fluid, soaking in oil. Swearing at it. A lot.

Nothing to lose - i might try a bearing remover at some point...

If leaving it in a jar of acetone and ATF fails.

You could try a tyre spray that you spray on the tyes for better grip in the snow!
But be careful if you do as you can apply too much pressure and damage the bones in your hands, something I came close to doing!
