In most cars the front seats were covered with velour fabric. The latter document is included in the Montreal Shop Manual, although in one of the Mercian Manuals reproductions the relevant pages (61 and 62) are missing. Note that, although more resistant to corrosion, stainless steel is somewhat more brittle than mild steel and some grades can be more prone to fatigue cracking. The bolts must have precision shanks and very high shear strength. This plate has slightly larger dimensions (196 mm x 56 mm) than the original in order to cover the larger aperture that may have been made to accommodate a modern autoradio. (Publication No. After removing the original coating, the metal should be copper plated and polished before applying the nickel and the chrome. "Which Classic?" The hooked ends of the later hangers can break off easily, allowing the leads to possibly snag the throttle mechanism. Alfa Romeo specified replacement of this filter at 42,000 km intervals. The plywood panel can also be used to mount a fire extinguisher bracket. Some late Montreals have a narrower rear seat squab than earlier cars, which permits the front seats to be moved further back to accommodate a tall driver and passenger. ZF also operate a worldwide "Virtual spare parts store" through which they claim that every spare part for any of their products is available by the web.

Bertone fitted leather upholstery to only a few Montreals to special order, at a supplementary cost in Germany in 1976 of DEM 1580. Some countries impose very few restrictions on the modification of classic cars by their owners, whereas in others (such as Switzerland) alterations from the original manufacturer's specifications are strictly regulated. It appears that the corrosion develops in the region just below the O-ring, outside the cavity filled with fluid. Reconnect the Spica link rod and adjust its length so that it rotates the control arm sufficiently to increase the reference gap to 0.5 mm (tolerance 0.3-0.6 mm) for pumps without a coloured dot and 1.2 mm (tolerance 1.05-1.35 mm) for pumps with either the red or yellow dot. For a TA that has a negative offset, a longer cam centring screw can be fitted if the 12 mm one would have too few threads engaged.

An electromechanical replacement for the Spica TA was developed by Alfacat Products. Agusti Vilella has reported good results with NECTO FD51A pads. The first prototype TA has now undergone a successful long-term test. To make the flywheel timing marks more easily visible, Gene Brown has scribed them on the crank pulley, painting the pulley black and the marks yellow so that they show up well. Ensure that the idling air tubes are routed such that they cannot be squeezed between the air cleaner box and the fuel injector lines, pinching off the idling air supply for one of the cylinders.
