Alfa Engine Kit

After the success of our first complete kit; our super-detailed version of the 8C 2300 Alfa Romeo Engine, we have improved it! Still a free-standing display engine, complete with engine stands, solid oak base, plaque, decals, ignition wire...everything in the photo. We have cast the Engine Block, Valve Covers, and Cylinder Heads in solid white resin. Our Engine can also serve as a direct replacement for the engine in any Pocher Alfa Romeo kit. A new Construction Manual has been created by Paul Koo...with 347 photos!

Features:

30 Super-detailed resin castings: Including engine block, sump, cylinder head, cam covers, supercharger, manifolds, carburetor, starter, generator, distributor, coil, water and oil pumps and more.

Metal components: Including water pipes, spark plugs, engine stands, pop-off valves, acorn nuts, intake screen, pedals, levers, bell cranks, control rods, gear lever and gate, brake lever, and nickel-plated 00-90, 0.80 nuts and bolts, simulated 00.90 and 0.80 and 1mm nuts and bolts to replace all of the cast-on nuts and bolts and much more.

Part No A001 $700.00

Alfa Hood Latches

Hot on the heels of our landmark RR hood latches come our fabulous Alfa Romeo Hood Latches. Yikes, have these been on the to-do list for a long time! These puppies come with the distinctive bumper arm that helps hold the hood closed, and the latches are as close as we could come to shrinking the real thing. Alas, for most applications (Spiders, Coupés) the jazzy bumper arms will need to be snipped off, but for the lucky souls building the corsa (Monza, Muletto), our new latches will be a perfect fit just as they come.

Plated in nickel to match the rest of the Pocher hardware, these latches are a direct replacement, require no body work, and use the Pocher screw-eye mount.

Part No.A022 $32.00 per pair

Tail Light

This is a perfect example of the Tail Light shown in many photos of the prototypes. Cast in bronze, includes 0-80 bolts. Does not include the lens. Part No.A040 $35.00

Many thanks to “Wally” Van Orden (See his wonderful build in Construction Gallery)…he made the master.

Alfa Steering Arm

Our new Alfa Steering Arm is prototypically correct. However, it does require drilling and pinning to attach. Comes with instructions and a length of music wire.

Part No. A035 $10.00 each

Rear Brake Lever Assembly

Again, we're replacing all the stamped metal parts in the kits. These Levers are a direct replacement for the Pocher provided ones. Easy to install; Lever is pre-soldered to the rod. And, now complete with the Wing-nuts!

Part No. A034 $50.00 complete set (6 components)

Alfa Distributor Linkage Kit

In response to your requests, we are going to post several parts from the Alfa Engine Kit… beginning with the Alfa Distributor Linkage Kit. Dress up the cam covers and capture the look of the prototype perfectly. The Kit includes three solid nickel photo-etched parts, our new Ball Ends, 1mm thread rod, nuts and bolt and music wire for the rods.

Part No.A005 $35.00 14 piece kit

Aluminum Brake Drums

 

These Aluminum Brake Drums are from our supplier in Switzerland . The drums are exact duplicates of the plastic Pocher drums, machined from aluminum. As they say around here, “there is nothing like real metal to look like real metal,” and these drums are the real thing. Wonderfully accurate and neatly made, they can be slipped in place with no modifications. Fastidious builders will want to darken the insides of the drums to simulate brake dust.

Part No.A026 $150.00 per set of four

Alfa Chassis Stands

Just the thing to keep the Alfa Romeo chassis safely elevated from the dangers of a cluttered workbench.  Raises the chassis to facilitate working on the mechanical brakes, or just to get the smaller bits into the range of bifocals.  Made from aircraft aluminum plate, these are the same as our Rolls-Royce stands but sized to fit the Alfa chassis. 

Part No.A028 $50.00 per pair

Shock Absorber Adjuster Knobs


Our new Shock Absorber Adjuster Knob is a faithful reproduction of the Siata controller for the friction shock absorbers so often seen on cars of the 30's. Similar in design to the Dufaux Repusseau knobs provided with the Bugatti kit, these Siata knobs mount on the dashboard and allow the driver to adjust the tension on the friction shock absorbers. Common on Alfas, but also seen on early RR's. Our knob specifically matches the emblem on our Alfa decal sheet. Resin.

Part No. A012 $5.00 ea.

Acorn Nuts

Tired of the plastic nubbins on top of your Alfa cam covers? At long last we have genuine acorn nuts with 1mm threads. Straight from Germany, these tiny nuts will make any Alfa fan swoon with delight. Can be glued in place or fastened to 1mm threaded rod (not included). We sell them in sets of 34 (enough to do two Alfa cam covers with two extra  for donation to the Pocher Gods who reside in carpet fibers). 

Part No. A007 $30.00 set of 34

Resin Replacement Exhaust Manifolds

Finally a replacement for all of those cracked, scarred, glued, and broken exhaust manifolds that seem to inhabit any partially built Pocher Alfa kit. Now you can convert a Monza or Muletto to a street engine, or add just the right finishing touch to a display engine. Accurate down to the casting flanges, these manifolds are direct replacements for the kit pieces.

Part No.A019 $15.00 per set

Replacement Alfa Cam Covers

If you are building an Alfa Romeo, you may have discovered that the cam covers are warped. In the past, there was little to be done about this except to try to heat the cam cover and straighten it. Occasionally this technique worked, and occasionally it did not work.  

Model Motorcars is happy to announce that we have had replacement cam covers cast in resin. These covers are straight and have the added benefit of featuring a set of our acorn nuts cast in place. While purists may still add a set of our nickel-plated brass acorn nuts, the less fastidious builders among us can take comfort in the fact that these new cam covers have cast-on acorn nuts which actually look like acorn nuts.

Part No.A018 $20.00 pair

Alfa Radiator Cap

We proudly present our Alfa Quick-Release Radiator Cap with Moto-Meter. Our usual bronze casting (nickel plated), but this time Marvin has out-done himself in his efforts to capture every nuance of the orginal. Threaded to fit the Pocher radiator fitting and includes two printed inserts, one the temperature gauge face and one a St. Christopher's medal for good luck.

Part No.A016 $27.00 each

Alfa Breathers

   


After years of making do with the thumb screws on the cam covers of the Pocher Alfa Romeo, Model Motorcars comes to the rescue. Our new Alfa Breathers are accurate miniatures of the crankcase breathers used on the prototype 8c 2300 engine. Cross drilled to capture the look of the original, our Alfa Breathers are enough to cause heavy breathing among the Alfisti. These bronze pieces are direct replacements for the Pocher-supplied thumbscrews, and can be used in the cam covers and on the side of the engine. Polished to a mirror finish and nickel plated to match the rest of the Pocher metal pieces, these Alfa Breathers will add the finishing touch to that all-out Alfa model or Alfa display engine.

Part No.A014 $49.00 per set of four

The Alfa Engine Stands

The Alfa Engine Stands from our Alfa Engine Kit. We are answering the many requests for them to be sold separately. Use to display your finished engine while you work on the chassis and wheels. Cast in bronze with a supply of 0.80 bolts, nuts and washers.

Part No.A031 $50.00 per set

New Alfa Decals from MMLtd.

 

We are happy to announce that we are now offering a revised set of Alfa Decals. This time, there are duplicates of each image and both black and white instrument faces. Clear, sharp digital images make these just the thing to replace the kit-supplied stickers. Our new Alfa Decal Set includes the logo for the shock absorber adjuster knob and even a St. Christopher medal to keep your little drivers safe.

Part No.A008 $20.00 each

Pedals

 

Especially designed for our Alfa Engine Kit, these bronze pedals add realism and ease of assembly to the Alfa transmission. Our pedals are three dimensional castings, and there is no need to risk twisting the ends of sheet metal pedal arms or to fiddle with the plastic pedal pads.

These pedals are as accurate as we can make them, and they come nickel plated to match the rest of the Pocher hardware. Brightens up the gloomy interior of the Pocher Alfas, and will make a display engine a thing of beauty.

Set of three, accelerator, brake, and clutch.

Part No. A023 $37.00 per set

Are Your Pipes Letting You Down?

Anyone who has built a Pocher Alfa has faced the dreaded Water Pipe Challenge-iddy-biddy, teensie-weensie plastic pipes with huge parting lines that are supposed to go with some crumbling red rubber hoses. Everyone who survives the Water Pipe Challenge has put considerable time into the effort, sometimes with marginal results.

Model Motorcars feels your pain. Our new Alfa Water Pipes are nickel-plated bronze and they fit, add the "rubber" hose, and install. Best of all, they look good. Kit consists of nickel plated bronze "pipes", rubber "hose" and photo-etched hose clamps.

Part No.A024 $32.00 per set

Water Manifold

The perfect companion to our now famous Water Pipes (A024)...the Water Manifold. Cast in bronze and nickel plated, comes with hose, clamps and flanges.

Part No.A029 $37.00 per set

Monza Fenders

Our latest Alfa accessory is a set of resin cycle-fenders for the Alfa Romeo. These fenders feature the correct diameter for the Alfa wheels and a slight "duck-tail" or flare at the rear. These fenders will work in all sorts of applications, but the idea is to mount these fenders close to the wheel by attaching the supports to the backing plates of the brakes.

Not for the faint-of-heart nor for beginners because we do not provide supports nor hardware. Shown on George King's very racey Muletto conversion, and, no, we do not have his wonderful turned aluminum wheels.

Part No. A025 $45.00 per set of four
