2.0 Coupe and Spyder exhaust system differences?

Does anyone know how different theexhaust systems are for the 2.0 Coupe and Spyder? How much fettling would be required to fit a Spyder exhuast to a coupe? Why? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303803492196 I wouldn't pay that much but it may be a way to get a serviceable system on the car while I restore...

2.0 replacement starter solenoid

Having finally got my starter motor out http://www.fiatdinoforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1352&p=6364#p6364 I need to replace the solenoid. The normal suppliers have them but there are also very similar looking units available for a third of the price. Does anyone have any parts equivalency d...

Re: 2.0 Coupe - Removing Starter Motor

With just the headers out you can get tantalising close and you may be able to manoeuvre it out but you risk breaking an exhaust stud or mangling the threads on them. The mounting stu...

So if you are in the UK, probably south of Brum and you've got some tatty but usable 2.0 Coupe exhaus...

Re: 2.0 Coupe - Removing Starter Motor

Thanks folks. I messaged with a couple of chaps that know these cars very well. Both suggested the headers / engine mount approach but one also said he finds it easier to slide the gearbox back. I can see the appeal of this latter approach though I'd have concerns about getting the gearbox mated aga...

2.0 Coupe Starter earth
