Fixing The Brakes

Our 1961 Alfa Romeo Giulietta TI has been in the hands of classic car technician Steve.

Steve fitted new brake pipes on the offside front and offside rear as the old ones were seized and broke when they were removed. He also refurbished the brake shoes, master cylinder, and wheel cylinders.

The new brake parts were fitted and the braking system on this beautiful classic car is now in much better condition.

The Investigation Begins

Classic car technician Steve recently began his investigation on our 1961 Alfa Romeo Giulietta TI. During his work, he found a few issues that will need to be resolved while our Alfa is here with us at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.

One of the first things that Steve noted in his investigation was that the brake cylinders were corroded and leaking which has caused the brake shoes to become contaminated with brake fluid.

Another issue discovered during Steve’s initial investigation was that the nearside rear drive shaft seal was leaking too. This was also causing contamination of the brake shoes.

The brake master cylinder seals of our Alfa Romeo Giulietta TI are leaking and the top radiator hose is cracked while the bottom hose is rubbing on the steering box.

In addition to the issues found with the brakes and seals, Steve also noted that both front chassis outriggers are corroded and in need of attention. Additionally, there appear to be several oil leaks that need to be cleaned up to allow Steve to conduct a more thorough investigation into where they might be coming from.

Our Alfa Romeo Giulietta TI has only been with us for a short while but Steve was very keen to start work on it as soon as possible. Although several issues were found during his work, it doesn’t take away from the fact that this is a great-looking classic car and, once all the work is complete, the owner will have their car returned to them in full working order.

In The Workshop – 1961 Alfa Romeo Giulietta TI

Our 1961 Alfa Romeo Giulietta TI recently arrived at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.

Now that it is with us, the work on its brakes can be undertaken as well as any other investigative work to ensure this beautiful classic car stays on the road for as long as possible.

Our classic car technicians have already started their work on our Giulietta so it likely won’t be too long before it is on its way back to its owners ready to cover more miles together.

Coming Soon – 1961 Alfa Romeo Giulietta TI

Soon to be making its way to us is our 1961 Alfa Romeo Giulietta TI.

This beautiful classic car will be coming in for some work on its brakes before heading back to its owners to enjoy many more miles on the road.

As you can see from the photos below, this looks to be a great-looking Alfa Romeo and we are very much looking forward to its arrival at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.
