  1. The 131 box is a good change with a slightly longer 5th, feels a bit more truck like compared to a 4 speed or 124 5 speed though. Like the axe work on the tunnel! I did it with a welder. Had to use a fairly large hammer to make room for the filler plug, and the top of the bellhousing. Also needed to move the handbrake back a little to fit with the longer lever extension, but not too dificult. Funny, Ive got a spare 1608 that had aluminium washers under the water pump pulley to space it out a bit- seems like fiat made pulley offsets different depending on the phase of the moon at the time..
  2. The back has the standard steel spacer plates on, and the front doesnt - the brake disc hats are a bit thicker than the originals, pretty much exactly the same as the original + factory spacer. :) I put them on before lowering the car and it did look a bit like a square roller skate. I'd like to try something like a 15x7 Rota Shakotan but $$$
  3. Hi I've got a 125 with some US CD66 replica wheels that have been on for a couple of years. https://autoricambi.us/cd-66-style-wheels-15-x-7-set-of-4/ They are 15x7 and 23 offset. Fit perfectly, very snug at the rear which is just how I like it, no rubbing but wouldnt want to be any wider track there. No issues at the front either. With 205/50 15's the steering etc is very similar to the 185/70 13's that were originally on it prior to mods, of course the suspension is lower, stiffer etc now so apples to oranges. The track width is a bit wider but wheel centrelines not much different to original, maybe a cm or two wider.
