Title: Fulvia parts wanted Post by: Stephen on 14 February, 2024, 04:47:48 PM Hello
I have recently acquired an early Ser. 2 Fulvia which I'm very much looking forward to using once the roads are dry. I would like to buy the following parts (see photos.); the screw that goes into the front grill self tapper at one end, a button nut for the same and a pair of button bolts that secure the fuse cover flap on the dashboard. Does anyone have any working clocks? My email is cathyparry89@yahoo.co.uk or phone 01756 752848 Thanks Stephen Title: Re: Fulvia parts wanted Post by: HBG on 14 February, 2024, 09:58:25 PM The item on the right is a thumb nut. I bought some
stainless thumb nuts to hold on the headlight trim on my Fulvia 3. A couple of the threaded rods like your centre items, were loose or missing and I replaced these with stainless M4 (?) Rod and a nut, superglued in. The left hand items in your pic look OK and could be refinished? I'll do mine as an evenings entertainment soon I expect. Where are you based? Are you new to Fulvia ownership? Title: Re: Fulvia parts wanted Post by: HBG on 14 February, 2024, 09:59:25 PM Should have said that I bought the bits on ebay.

I have a lathe so was able to turn the aluminum knurled knobs easily. A machine shop could quickly do it for you, with a sample Title: Re: Fulvia parts wanted Post by: lancialulu on 18 February, 2024, 12:53:36 PM Re the clock - if you take the dash front off and remove the clock you may be able to bring it back to life (50% chance) by warming it on a radiator and applying 12v rocking it back and forth. Sometimes the adjuster pull out and push back in with 12v applied can bring it back to life. They are not accurate when working so a nice ornament!

I took it to a watch/clock maker who removed the chrome bezel neatly, took it apart, cleaned all the pieces and sprayed it with modern clock oil. It has now worked for two years. I mounted mine outside the car to fiddle easily with the adjuster screw (+-) to get it set as close as possible. I have noticed that the pull knob needs to be pushed firmly home to get it started again after adjusting the time
