Lemfoeder - readily available

[Tony Stevens <tony@domain.elided>]

Jay & all,

Lemfoeder were an original fittment on the 105 series, along with
Ehrenreich, the first issue Parts Books indicating different part nos
according to which supplier.

Alfa Stop has stock of Lemfoeder track rod ends for the 105 series &
would be pleased to supply these to US customers. They are not cheap
(price is GBPounds 14.00 each, about USD23.00, for side rod ends,
GBP16.00, about USD26.00 for centre rod ends), but they are a quality
product.

We used to stock Lemfoeder lower ball joints & control rods & will
endeavour to obtain these again, subject to a demand.

Regarding FRAP, they are oe suppliers for New Holland & Fiat tractors,
so it seems logical that other divisions of the Fiat group should also
be using them.
