Title: Question of parts interchangeability between models
Post by: betasulo on December 07, 2015, 06:13:26 PM
Dear All,
I was wondering if CV joints and speedometer cables have the same part numbers across all models?
Also the Haynes manual talks of gearbox and engine dampers. How important are these two as I have never had them on my car.
Any information on the above will be highly appreciated.

Kind regards
Sulo.

Hi

The dampers appeared on the S2 cars (not sure about berlina), S1 did not have them (and for some reason mine did not either). If you do not have them and there is no way of attaching them, then that was how the car came out the factory....

Someone with much more knowledge of the CV/Speedo parts will come along to answer (I hope)

Peter

Thanks Peter,
Mine is a series 1 coupe. One less thing to worry about. ;)
Kind regards
Sulo.

Early series 1 Berlina had a single piece right hand driveshaft without the intermediate bearing - not sure if S1 coupes did or not.

As far as I know that's the only difference in the models.

Hi Stuart,
Thanks for the info. I will have a look on mine. As I will be traveling to Australia I just want to be sure as Lancia did not sell the 1600 down under. I need CV joints and a speedo cable. The engine is rebuilt and all is well at the moment.

Kind regards

Sulo
