Steve,
Sorry, they are a new item and not yet on the site. They are $5 each and you need 2.
You can email me (csaba AT autoricambi DOT us) or call us 682-233-FIAT (3428).
>Or, is there a benefit to installing the bearing style?
It turns smoother, but in reality the leverage of the steering box is so great that it's not a noticeable change.
The stock hydraulic idler is actually kind of hard to move by hand.

Hi, and welcome to the site. Putting aside the spider talk for just a brief moment, I wondered if you can comment on the new Austin race track currently being built to host F1. The last I heard, Bernie Eccleston said he doesn't think it will be ready in time for next year's event as scheduled. Just wondered . . .
Enjoy the spider and once again, welcome.

Hi Spiddy, well that would be interesting since the $250 million pledged from our state government is specifically tied to that race date, unless something has been renegotiated. Does not look good. http://www.insideline.com/car-news/work ... -race.html
Re: Greetings from (unseasonably grey) Austin, TX!
Thanks for the link, Steve. Very interesting. Sounds like too many fingers in the pie and too many egos. And don't forget, Bernie is a very greedy little billionair - alledgedly I'll try to follow the progress with interest.
Cheers
