	Sorry, I should have been more clear.  The grinding we were talking about
is not related to the DeDion mods.  The grinding is (not neccessarily)
neccessary when using the 105/115 upper ball joint in place of the rubber
castor bushing in the front suspension of the 116/161.  We kinda jumped
tracks there w/o much warning.  Check out The Alfa 75 / Milano Resource
page that Enzo pointed out:
http://reality.sgi.com/employees/sikand_mti/milano.html .  Click on "Front
suspension upgrade" - this describes the castor bushing upgrade.

Normally, I'd be tempted to agree w/ you here....
