Re: api di ken
I agree, only teasing. Good source of parts perhaps but I believe it's in Central America and too far to go to look. Even I have limits to restoration projects. But it's a sad end to probably a hard working career for the Ape - Ken

Re: api di ken
The green P501 (originally Furgone, converted to Pianale by prior owner) is finished and is going to the USA to a new home. On the weekend I took the two of them out for a wash and a drive around Bayfield. It was a hot, sunny, beautiful weekend, great for touring in an Ape. - Ken

Re: api di ken
Well, trouble with Imageshack - have to try another time. Series of photos as I dismantled and re-assembled steering column. So loose there were only 5 bearings on the lower race and all the top small bearings were gone, and a groove was worn in the column from it shifting back and forth. However, easily fixed and with the special tools the job was easy to do and with new bearings, seals etc. it feels like new. Most tools easily made but necessary! Ken

Re: api di ken
Grembialina sinistra #145293 and #157004 are out of production. I can't obtain any from both my suppliers. I'm looking for four (4) even in used but good condition, new old stock would be nice! Ken
