Lancia Beta Forum

Hello all

I was wondering if anyone is able to help me out.  I need to get hold of a new Main Link Rod to connect up to my gearbox and also either a Pivot Assy or Bushing Kit.  Is anyone able to point me in the right direction, I didn't notice anything in the parts shop.

It's for a 1981 Lancia Beta Coupe.

Thanks in advance!  :D

Can you post up a picture of the parts or maybe someone can post the exploded diagram.  I'm away at the moment but may well have the items your after.

Hey Matt

I think its one of these:

and if you do have one that would be magic!

Also this was posted a while ago and it is basically the bottom half of the image I'm after:

I'm 500 miles away from home at the moment, should be back Sunday or Monday - so will have a look and see what I have in the boxes in my garage.

That'll be amazing help thanks!  ;D

Unfortunately I'm still struggling for the same parts. Has anyone had any dealing with these guys?: http://www.italianspares.co.uk/home.php?cat=329 (http://www.italianspares.co.uk/home.php?cat=329)
I seem to find it fairly difficult to get there attention!

After rummaging through the many boxes in my garage I eventually found the gear shift related items, unfortunately this section is not present and I recall giving it to Mark W a while ago...

Sorry about that.... And the delay in replying.

No worries, thanks for looking though. I am still trolling the internets to find somewhere that can help out :)

I will have a spare shortly (a week or so) - the bushes are worn but work OK.

I can not unscrew the nut number 13 in the photo because it's too difficult to achieve

You work from under the car or from the engine compartment?

thank you very much

Hi,

This nut is easiest to get to from the left side wheel arch.

Remove the wheel and the rubber boot from the steering (perhaps the wheel arch liner too) and you can reach in. It may help to undo the outer track rod end so you can lift the steering arm out of the way.

Thank you very much Stuart!!
I really appreciated..
Tonight I'll try

Mission Accomplished! I replace bushes of the  front shaft assy.
Now remains the rear shaft assy bush (the first shaft from gear lever to the engine) but I think that's less important than other two)
thank you aain guys
 :D

When I re-bushed my Beta's gear linkages I used a bush kit from a Citroen. Unfortunately cannot remember model or part numbers as it was long ago.
