Alfa Romeo Spider 105/115 Spare Parts

The Alfa Romeo Spider of the 105 and 115 series is an open two-seater with a soft top and rear-wheel drive that produced numerous versions over a long production period. As a manufacturer, supplier and spare parts specialist for classic Alfa Romeo models, Alfa-Service carries a wide range for the Spider, covering the soft top, body, interior and the entire technology of engine, drivetrain, suspension and brakes. The Spider shares many mechanical assemblies with the other 105 models such as the Giulia, Berlina and GT Bertone, while the soft top and individual body and interior parts are Spider-specific. This category brings together the relevant areas so that parts can be assigned reliably by assembly, series and model year.

Model History of the Spider 105/115

The Spider was built from 1966 to 1993/94 and designed by Pininfarina. Over the long production period, four series were created, differing mainly in body and equipment. The first series from 1966 had a round tail and is often called the Duetto. From 1970 the second series with a Kamm tail followed, offered over many years in various displacements. From 1983 came the third series with revised bumpers, spoilers and add-on parts, before the fourth series with a reworked front and rear appeared from 1990. Four-cylinder Twin Cam engines were offered in displacements from 1300 to 2000. The open basic concept with a soft top was retained across all series, while details of the body, interior and mixture preparation were adjusted over the years. Early models were fitted with carburettors, late versions received fuel injection.

Technology and Assemblies

Technically, the Spider is based on the 105 series and shares its proven mechanism. The four-cylinder Twin Cam engine with two overhead camshafts works on a manual gearbox and drives the rear live axle via a propshaft. Independent suspension is fitted at the front, a live axle with trailing arms at the rear; the brake system uses disc brakes. Steering, the cooling system with water pump and thermostat, the fuel system with tank, pump and carburettor or injection, and the 12-volt electrics largely correspond to the other 105 models. As a result, many wear and maintenance parts are usable across the series, which makes supplying the Spider easier. A large part of the parts can already be determined via the assembly, while only individual items are Spider-specific.

Model-Dependent Differences

The most important differences concern the body, soft top and interior. The tail shape, bumpers, spoilers and add-on parts differ noticeably between the four series, as do parts of the interior such as instruments, seats and trim. The soft top is Spider-specific and differs in frame and cover depending on the series, which is why a precise comparison is important here. For mixture preparation, a distinction must be made between carburettor and injection versions, which affects the fuel system and electrics. The steering side, that is left-hand or right-hand drive, also influences individual parts in the interior and at the controls. Anyone who knows the series, model year and engine can assign these differences reliably and avoid confusing the series.

Spare Parts Range

The range for the Spider 105/115 covers technical assemblies as well as body, interior and soft-top-specific parts. For a better overview, the areas are separated by theme. The following lists help with classification and lead to the matching sub-areas:

Technical Assemblies

Body and Interior

Model-Related Special Areas

Notes on Part Selection

Decisive are the series, model year and engine as well as the type of mixture preparation and the steering side. Technical assemblies can often be determined across the series, since the Spider shares the mechanism of the 105 series. Soft top, body and interior parts, by contrast, are selected by series, because they changed over the production period. For mixture preparation, a distinction is made between carburettor and injection, as this affects the fuel system and electrics. Comparing with the existing vehicle, for example the soft top frame, bumpers and interior, prevents wrong purchases. Anyone who first establishes the series and model year and then considers the engine variant and steering side can put together the matching range reliably.

FAQ

Which model years does the Spider 105/115 cover?

The Spider was built from 1966 to 1993/94 in four series, from the first series with a round tail through the series with a Kamm tail to the fourth series with a reworked front and rear.

Does the Spider share parts with other 105 models?

Yes, many mechanical assemblies such as engine, drivetrain, suspension and brakes are comparable with the Giulia, Berlina and GT Bertone, while the soft top and individual body and interior parts are Spider-specific.
