Hello 505 drivers,
My name is Christian and I’m living near the Lake of Constance (Lac de’Constance) in Austria.
Owning already a 504 Coupé I could not resist buying this beauty:
551F17 – Peugeot Break Familial 1986.
It is the last year with the XN1 motor here.
The body is nearly rust free, but has many dents from previous owner.
And a massive roof rack every taxi driver from Lagos would be jealous of (I've removed it now, its too heavy).
The car rested 9 years in a garage.
A little bit blue eyed I was thinking of driving it home
With a little help of Friends and south bavarian’s oldest one man Peugeot Garage I made the journey.
My 2 main worries at the moment:
Carburettor:
The Solex 34/34 Z1 Carburetor is in a very bad shape (buttyfly disc filed, sucking wrong air…)
It’s impossible to set up a correct idle speed.
Does someone has spare parts for this carburettor?
As alternative I have a Weber 38 ADS (Simca Chrysler 180) and 34 ADF 250 (Fiat) lying here, what would be the better replacement choice?
Wheels:
What wheels do have official documents for this heavy load rear axle?
I would like to use 6Jx15 505 GTI alloy wheels, do they have a permit?
What tyres do other 505 Break drivers use?
I think this is the right place for some nice chats and meet new enthusiasts.
Greetings,
Christian
