My 124 CSA

Hi Horia

I think I have spotted in one of your pics where the roll cage mounts.
The main one being where the crossmember behind the seats meets the sill and the outrigger of the roll cage looks like it mounts on the rear wheel arch,would this be right?

I am planning to strengthen my car where possible any info or pics of where the CSA has been strengthened/additional welding plates etc would be a great help.
I know that the suspension is different but the same areas would need attention.

Many thanks
Its good to see that there are still a few about
I have attached a pic of the big wing sump I have just made.
Sadly I don't have a 124 CSA but I would like to modify my car to get as close as possible.

It will have a 130 TC Strada engine 131 Sport gearbox. I did toy with the idea of using a Cosworth LSD and independent rear suspension but that's a little unrealistic at the moment but if my axle lets go - who knows...

Regards

Rick

This may interest you CSA boys I found this pic of the botton of a Goup IV Rally car.
It looks like the cross member has been reinforced at each end with additional plates.I understand this is a week point which can suffer from stress fractures and the studds sheering.
Also interesting cast Aluminium big wing sump.

At Bruces Parts Bin, see member 'Bruces' in 'members list'.

Bruce has an orginal hardtop, like Pininfarina, used - but all there.
I dont know if its an original Stradale top, but worth a look...

Its a permanent mount style top, not a clip-on type.
