I thought to tackle "no steering wheel boss for V300"issue..
I got V460 boss from e-bay, Performance 3000, for £30, 10 minutes later, I have boss to fit Sparco wheel with indicator canceling!!

..it also spaces out from colomn about 6", good for me as I'm over 6 foot..
Image
and stops me knocking on indicators when "giving it beans"!!
alfa is running on 2" twin side exits (R/H, L/H),

Sounds AWESOME!!!, bit fun in snow :D

Dropping engine bits off, as soon I get 16v rods, should look something like this!
