Laser or water jet cutting will leave quite a sharp edge on these compared to stamping which would have been the original process. If they are going to be plated then it would be worth enquiring about having them vibro tumbled to smooth the edges before plating. Some platers offer the tumbling and I think some cutting services do too.
Chris: Good call. Tab washer is 82326379. All Beta models: two on the front struts and the same on the rear. Price is €6.87 at www.original-auto-teile.de and special offer at www.autoricambilineaverde.it for €8.10. Gasp. Neither of these sites indicate which other models of FIAT, Lancia or Alfa are applicable. Trevi is likely of course. Not early Delta. Not enough info on Gamma online. Struggling to find parts references on forums - they tend to guard this stuff. Deleting the 1mm chamfer on the tabs now I've seen a decent picture online.
Peter: WJUK have allowed for this (see my post, No. 11 above). The local place I've sent the dxf file to has got back to me and they want just over GB P90 including tax but there's a min order of GBP 120. That's pretty bad, I'd say, especially when they said laser cutting would be cheaper.
WJUK were exceptionally quick to respond and also really helpful but I think that progress has been poor and costs high. I may have to abandon this due to lack of demand.

Ah?, so the there's a bend on the tab as OE? I didn't know that.
Peter, 'see PM regarding Italian suppliers.
There is a bend Chris but the corners of the tabs look square to me - definitely not clipped off by 1mm.

Maybe that was just wear and tear?Originally Posted by mudhut
'Forgot to say;
Trevi is nailed on. I wondered about Gammas.
I've looked at Ritmos, Montes/X1/9/128 Deltas etc., but they are all different to the Beta, but similar to each other.

Before someone says "No, it'll be a threaded nut", I mean the Trevi is a definite. A Trevi is a Beta Sedan, near enough.
HaHa. Of course.
