Es sind verschiedene Club´s und Ig´s kontaktet worden( auch anderer Marken), wie mir bekannt ist, ist seit gut zwei Jahren in diesem Bereich gar nix mehr zu bekommen gewesen, da ich regelmäßig über meinen Großanbieter anfragen ließ. Wir würden ab einem noch nicht definierten Auftragvolumen alles frachtfrei!! erhalten, und den letzten aktuellen Großhandlespreis zahlen müssen. Die liegen bei: Hosenrohr ca.150€ Vorschalldämpfer ca.95€ Achsbogen ca.40€ Endtopf ca. 71€ Wer also Interesse hat, melde sich bei mir oder Wolfgang. Und Ihr wißt ja: je mehr, je billiger!! (versuche ich jedenfalls) mfg Brinki ach ja, das ist KEINE Sache die Monate zeit hat!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello people,
Bosal Germany has just approached me. A complete inventory was made during factory changeover in Belgium including, among others, Ascona A.

We have herewith a one-time, and perhaps last, opportunity to provide ourselves with exhaust pieces. Several clubs and groups have been contacted (also other makes) and, as I already know, there has been nothing available in the area of exhaust for, at least, the last two years, as I've regularly made inquiries at all the large distributors. We will be able to get these at a "not yet determined volume" order, freight-free, at "actual cost" prices. They are:

Front exhaust downpipe : ~ 150€
Front muffler : ~ 95€
Over axle pipe : ~ 40€
Resonator : ~ 71€

Whoever is interested, please let me or Wolfgang know. And, of course, you know, the more ordered, the less expensive!! (I'll try regardless)
With friendly greetings,
Brinki
In any case, there is not much time!!!!!!!!!!

Now you all know! Time is of the essence here.

Otto;
Unless you're doing a "correct" restoration on a Manta/Ascona, the only piece of real importance is the front headpipe. The rest can be easily reproduced by any muffler shop, just passing along what I have found out through a year of research myself.

Contact Stefan Brinkmann (ascona666@t-online.de). Just tell him in which pieces you're interested. He speaks English, at least enough to get by for this.
