Re: Flavia 1800 Coupe engine parts

[richardcooper]

Hello, I'm desperately needing main bearings (+.025mm) and big end bearings (standard)
Having tried a number of Italian suppliers (which tend not to reply), can anyone please advise possible suppliers?
thanks and kind regards  Richard

I have used Historic Racing Works in Germany for Flavia parts. They seem to have a reasonable stock for all Flavia models and are responsive. I’ve bought several parts from them and been satisfied with the delivery.

Their webshop site for Flavia engine parts is https://shop.historicracing.de/en/c/flavia/f01-flavia-engine

Hope you find what you’re looking for.

Hello
I have used https://www.oldlanciaspares.com/ without any problems. BUT it is best and it seems the only way if you identify the part from their listing or indeed send a copy of the spares manual with the part marked up and contact them by email and not to use their "enquire about this item" option on their web site. I have just had my engine re-built using lots of parts from oldlancia spares (contact there is Enrico) without a problem. Getting parts including pistons rings and bearings and liners and items not listed on their web site. Posting is prompt and well documented, just have to pay UK customs duty. they will contact you by email for this.

Good luck

Thanks Rob and Colin.
I have purchased other parts from Historic, they just don't have the bearings.
OldLanciaSpares does have the parts but, as you say, doesn't respond to 'enquire about this item'.
I thought of emailing, but no e-mail address (that I could find) on the website.
If you still have the address Colin, please let me know.
Kind regards  Richard

Thanks again Colin!
Contacted Enrico on Monday, paid for the parts on Tuesday, received on Wednesday, delivered to engine rebuilder this morning - amazing!
8 months of stress trying to locate parts resolved in 3-4 days.
kind regards   Richard
