Hey Paul! Alfa spoilers;Alfetta clutch shafts,a question for Alfisti

[Milanogold@domain.elided]

Greetings Alfisti!
       For the gentleman looking for a rear spoiler for his 1976 alfetta 
Gt,here's 2 places to try,and one person to ask:
1.Alfa Parts exchange, Haywood,CA at  www.APEDIRECT.com  .They will have used 
parts but quality is very good and the parts are very cheap.(Got a set of 
Alfetta Velocissima front flares(make from that rare material 
absolutelyunobtainium) from these guys for $50.Good folks and honest,too.
2.AlfaBill,Mastro Alfa/Subaru,Tampa,FL who advertises on the digest 
regularly.Also very honest and good to deal with,always has a good price for 
items.
3. Ian Evans had some spoilers of the type your'e looking for  (new ones)for 
sale recently.He's a regular poster to the digest.
4.AR Ricambi sells the spoilers;but I don't recommend them to anyone 
anymore....................... 
	For the gentleman who was asking about straight/ tapered clutch 
assembly shafts;if I remember correctly, the straight clutch shafts were used 
on 1976 and earlier cars;whereas the post 76 models use the tapered shafts.I 
don't think they're interchangeable.

	Finally, I have a question for all Alfisti.I'm going to be managing a 
car rental office starting September 1st,yessssssss!!I'm trying to come up 
with some ideas which would increase my business and offer real benefits to 
Alfisti and car enthusiasts in general.(I've already put in a suggestion to 
corporate for my office to be  used for a US fleet test of alfa 156 
selectspeeds and Alfa 166's,but that pesky "not for sale in the US' thing 
keeps popping up :)Some ideas that are viable are as follows:
1.10% discount for car club folks-20% discount for Alfisti (at my office;each 
office is corporate owned but individual site managers have a lot of latitude 
as far as pricing and marketing is concerned.)
2.Making our locations available for club events (concours, car shows, swap 
meets and autocrosses?)
3.Make trucks and tow dollies available for rental at lower rates than what 
Uhaul charges.(You rent the truck, I'll throw in the tow dolly free;something 
like that?)
      I'd enjoy hearing your ideas on what I could do to make renting a car a 
positive experience.Our company has over 400 locations throughout the US so 
what I try could be adopted nationwide. Please respond off post.
Thanks!

available to rent this morning!She offered to pay the premium rate for it 
which in our company is $49.99 per day.  Made me feel good......)
