Sent a question about the circlip to LN so we'll see. Thanks for the idea as I would think they should know enough to find one somewhere. If not, maybe someone has one left over from their IMSB replacement? Seems like a really good idea to replace these and not reuse them but I have never heard any details on doing so.

PS: I also had a 2.5 Milano Silver, and still have a 79 Alfetta GT that needs light restoring (but wife does not know that I own..)

Ha, impressive that you are able to hide a car from your wife!
And the Milano really is a great car! It definitely needs more power but it's not horribly slow in stock form. But the steering is wonderful and even the brakes aren't bad with some better Hawk pads in there. Transmission linkage gets panned a lot but I've never had any problems or been annoyed by it. The only thing about them that has bothered me is the roll center geometry which makes it hard if not impossible to rid the car of body lean even with stiffer suspension items. Traditional Alfa handling trait although Autodelta managed to make their race and rally Milanos and GTV6s corner very flat so it must be possible.
Say "Hi" to CA for me, miss it there wildly!
