Hi
I wanted to make my 126 look a bit different....
I considered these on ebay and asked the seller if he could change the script to "FIAT 126", but in the same font as "ABARTH"
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334946158241

Very helpful seller - he just charged me the same price as advertised and seemed quite keen to quote for any one-off designs

I changed the ignition coil, and it seemed to cure the condenser issue. I drove it for an hour or two with no issues. Fingers crossed!

I initially didn't think it was the ignition coil that was causing the problem. It is relatively new. I changed it when the car was getting restored in 2016.

Many thanks for your advises.

Forgot to say ...you obviously have to remove the retaining pins that hold the shoe to the backplate then you can prise them forward...and when refitting put the heel of the shoe behind the stop and push it back to the backplate...

Hi Andy, I've done my fronts recently but used to do them on my mini. I find it easier to pull or prise the bottom of the shoe over the bottom stop then it releases the tension on the spring. I do the opposite to fit them ...anchor the springs put one shoe in place the prise the other over the stop plate, make use of the shoe as a lever I've never had any problems doing it that way....trying to hook the spring on when the shoes are in place....get some plasters ready...!!
