Re: Need parts

Hi Tony:

I've had Alfa's with the restrictor, without the restrictor, and with the 
restrictor in backwards.  I'll be damned if I could ever notice a 
difference, but my '74 Spider has got one installed correctly.  If you 
squeeze the bulging area of the hose, it's near the bottom end, you'll feel 
it if it's there.  Every once in a while you'll see one on eBay.  Here's a 
link to an i Saluti article about the device:

As for the Spica airbox gasket, aircraft parts suppliers sell a similar 
item for panel edges.  Try

They offer a free catalog that has both racecar and aircraft stuff.

Regards,

Dean
