centre propshaft mount

[david]

I have ordered centre propshaft mount, bearing and nut for 131 from a Lada spares place of the net and for all three parts including post to Uk its $49.80 US dollars thats ?29.84p, not sure where they are based ? but they want paying in dollars, keep you informed how it goes..........

[djape1977]

finally! someone besides me who has the gut to put lada parts on 131! report of progress

[david]

Its Russia which is what I thought but they sound legit and dont think I will have to pay customs as parts are under ?18 ?  go to www.ladaparts.ru    I suspect the centre mounts advertised on ebay for ?39.95p probably originate from here anyway ?

[mirafioriman]

There is/was a Lada specialist up here near me. I wonder if he stocks these parts?

[david]

I hope not ive just ordered them from Russia

[mirafioriman]

Can't find him on the net. I think Eugene will know.

Guys ,

Let's keep this Lada thread going , maybe we will build a database of sorts which Lada parts can be used as replacements for our Fiats.

Problem is the Lada was a patent built Fiat 124 and Lada used there own engine and box so you are very limited for 131 but a lot better off if you own a 124 I would guess

I actually have  124 spider , and one o my front suspension arms is from a Lada . It only required welding spring seats differently.

actually, engine and gearbox are a compilation of several fiat engines and gearboxes. for instance, bellhousing for TC engine from fiat 125 will bolt straight on to a lada gearbox, which is very simmilar (same?) as fiat polish 125 gearbox, and than straight onto a fiat's donut. also, U joints are the same.

it's a diference between lower front suspension arm for fiat 124 sedan and spider. if you took the suspension arm from 124 sedan, you'd have the same problem.

rear suspension of lada is 90% same as on 131. suspension arms and bushings from lada can be used on 131.
rear coil springs for lada are the same lenght and diameter as for 131, but are available in diferent load capacities, therefore giving a choice of three diferent stiffnes/height combo's. one could also take a hard spring for lada and shorten it by a coil or two and get a hard stiff 131 rear end. bog standard rear spring for lada is the same load capacity as for 131.

engine mounts on lada and 131 are the same. gearbox mount for lada can be fitted to a 131/132 gearbox with 5 minutes modifying job.

oil filters are the same.

rubber seal surrounding the doors and the boot (sorry guys, don't know the name of the part) is the same on 131 and on lada.

rear window winders on 4dr 131 are the same as on lada.

want me to go on?

[bolger]

Sure, go on.

The parts I ordered as of list above are  A) central prop mount  2101-2202080  $12 (?7.17p)  B) bearing for same 28042320  $8.80 (?5.25) and C) nut  2101-2202105  $2 (?1.19p)  so a Total of  ?13.61p  for parts and you can use paypal, the rest is post, they say two weeks for delivery but I think thats a bit on the optimistic side but we will see ?

Thanks for your nice words Eugene,
But why you are talking about Lada parts and modifiying them to fit 131s.
I have almost every part and cheap prices.No need modifying,high quality parts.etc...
Djape,you are talking about making the engine mounts,window rubbers,etc,I have these parts at the stock.

[david]

These Lada parts same as 131
