Re: Restoration advice sought

[Bob Wright <rjwright@domain.elided>]

Gary,
The Alfa was imported with a bunch of other Alfa's ex USA some years
ago. It is now converted to right hand drive, been painted and has some
upholstery finished. It had Spica and I intend to convert to Weber's as
parts and knowledge (in Aust) about Spica seems limited. Pedals are now
floor mounted.
I am a member of the local (South Australian Alfa club).
My post was really seeking help in identification of literature
especially graphics/ diagrams etc from the USA's Alfa Romeo Owners Club
library. Local members are ever helpful, but I was seeking to be a
little self suficient.
Thus far I have no replies from US members of the digest that would help
identify relevant 1979 Spyder literature from within the listing that
appeared in the December 'Alfa Owner' magazine.
Many thanks for your comments .
