1981 X1/9
EDIT - see this threadfor the newest info on these wire sets:
I have just received another batch of my X1/9 premium performance plug wire sets.
First, a little background. Over the years, I had been unable to find a decent set of ignition wires for my X1/9. Most were cheap poor quality, with terrible fit. Wires way too long with excess wires looping everywhere. I contacted a major manufacturer of wire sets up here who agreed to make a batch to my exacting specs. We worked closely together to develop the ultimate spec.
Firstly, for the wire itself, we chose the best available - an 8mm mag-core type wire with 7 component layers and a silicone outer jacket. At the cap ends, brass terminals with EDPM boots the proper thickness. At the coil end, a brass terminal with a really thick funky silicone boot. At the plug ends, a stainless steel snap-lock terminal and nice silicone boots. Everything assembled by the manufacturer on proper machinery.
The lengths of the wires ( the major problem with most X1/9 "fitted" wire sets ) were chosen very carefully by myself. Each wire is the perfect length.
These wires fit X1/9s with a stock-type ignition system. With the distributor cap with side pointing terminals, and coil in the stock location on the right side panel. Thus all models from '79 to '89. I have seen some '78 models with the coil mounted on the upper right firewall. So should fit those too.
Will not fit earlier '74 to '77 X1/9s with the coil mounted on the firewall near the middle of the car ( the supplied coil wire would be too short ). Will not fit any X with the distributor mounted on the end of the camshaft, or fitted with a distributor cap that has the terminals pointing straight up. Will not fit Stradas or 128s.
But will fit perfectly an X1/9 from '79-'89.
Sets are available in your choice of 5 colours
The colours in the above pic did not photograph well. These are a little more representative
These wire sets are custom made for me, and are not available anywhere else. Although I may put them on Ebay to try to reach X1/9 owners who dont hang out here.
Special Xweb pricing.
For USA customers, only $31.00 per set in US $
For Canadian and International customers, only $39.00 Canadian per set. I think that is about 26 euros. I think the Australian $ is almost at par with the Canadian $. Canadian orders add GST or HST depending on province.
Kindly specify your choice of colour. Black, blue, yellow, the original normal darker red, and the new rosso arancio (bright red with hint of orange). Some colours are in short supply, so suggest you order quickly if you desire a specific colour before they run out.
Plus shipping. See below.
If you would like to read some more about them, and see some comments and reviews, here is a link to my thread from my previous offering:

It got pretty lengthy, so I thought I would start a new thread here.
But.....as they say on TV....wait there is more !!!
Recently, I needed some camber bolts for my X1/9. As you may know, there is no provision on a stock X1/9 for changing the camber. If you are getting a wheel alignment on your X, and need to - or want to - alter the camber, there a a few options to do this. But probably the best option is to use some proper "camber bolts". For some reason - as many of you have found out - about 90% of the camber bolts listed for an X1/9 on Ebay, Rock Auto, etc, are INCORRECT for an X1/9. They simply do not fit. I finally figured out the correct ones and went to order some from my supplier. They offered me a special deal if I took all their remaining stock. As they were not a good seller for them.
They are SPC brand. The best out there. Grade 12.9 with a special anti-corrosion coating. Fit perfectly on all X1/9s, front and rear. Simply replaces your existing upper bolt where the strut joins the upright. Thus you would need one bolt per wheel. Simply rotate the bolt before tightening to adjust the camber up to about a degree.
I was able to get 13 extra pairs of them. A pair would do both front - or both rear - wheels. So two pairs would be needed per X if you needed to do all 4 wheels.
Only $16 US, or $20 Canadian per PAIR. Way less than the usual price. EDIT August 29 camber bolts now all sold !!!
Due to strange Canadian postal rates, if you ordered a set of ignition wires, I could add up to 2 pairs of camber bolts for no additional postage cost.
Because I dont have many camber bolts, i will restrict sales of the camber bolts to ONLY those ordering the ignition wires. You can order up to 2 pairs of camber bolts per set of wires ordered. So if you want 2 sets of wires, you can order up to 4 pairs of camber bolts, etc.
Because that may not be fair to those kind folks who already bought some ignition wires off me previously, I will extend an offer to those folks, to purchase the camber bolts only. But add only postage to the USA of:
1 or 2 pairs - $5 US
3 pairs - $7 US
4 or 5 pairs - $9 US
Inquire for Canadian or International.
I expect the camber bolts will sell out quickly at that price. First come - first served. Post your intention here and I will respect in order of your posts. EDIT camber bolts now all sold !!
But wait - there is more !!
I also still have some of my famous X1/9 headlight screw kits. I offered these a couple of years ago. So for those folks new to the forum, these are sets of the screws that you need to disturb when changing the headlight on an X1/9. A set does an X1/9 for both headlights. 6 of the screws that hold on the black surround trim piece, and 6 of the screws for the chrome retaining ring. When you go to change a headlight, these screws are usually missing or mangled. and are hard to find odd-ball metric sizes. My screws are A2 stainless steel with the proper phillips drive.
Kindly specify early( '73-'78) or late ('79-'89). If you want more info go here:
https://xwebforums.com/forum/index.php?threads/fiat-x1-9-headlight-screws-for-sale-part-2.29425/
Headlight screws only $4 US or $5 Canadian per set. Plus postage.
I also have some of my engine mount conversion arms remaining. See this thread for more details:
https://xwebforums.com/forum/index.php?threads/fiat-x1-9-lower-engine-mount-conversion-arm.28369/
At this time I have lots of the conversion arm kits available, but sadly only a couple of mounts left. Will sell a mount only with purchase of the arm kit. But will of course sell the arm kit on it's own. EDIT August 29 engine mounts now all sold but plenty of conversion arm kits still available !!
Postage is kinda complicated, but some items (like 1 set of wires and 2 pairs of camber bolts) combine nicely within weight limits.
Weight of items:
First start with weight of padded envelope for posting - 25 grams
Add:
Wire set - 246 grams
Camber bolt pair - 93 grams
Headlight screws - 12 grams
Conversion arm kit - 420 grams
Engine mount - 750 grams
Add up the weight and:
To USA via air mail - 0-250 grams $ 7 US
251-500 grams $ 9 US
501-1000 grams $ 14 US
inquire if over 1000 grams
To Canada via air mail - 0-750 grams $ 9 Canadian
751-1000 grams $ 10 Canadian
1000-1500 grams $ 12 Canadian
To International via surface mail - 0-250 grams $ 9 Canadian or $ 11 air mail
251-500 grams $ 12 Canadian or $ 21 air mail
501-1000 grams $ 20 Canadian or $ 40 air mail
1001-1500 grams $ 25 Canadian or $ 52 air mail
1501-2000 grams $ 29 Canadian or $ 62 air mail
Note: surface mail from Canada is quite slow. Kindly be patient and allow 4-8 weeks to Europe or 8-12 weeks to Australia. Or pony up for air mail...
Payments to USA destinations please pay in US $ funds !!! For all other destinations please pay in Canadian $$. Paypal to: xrproducts at yahoo.com. Use the @ symbol instead of "at" please, of course.
Any questions, fire away.
Thanks for looking. Thanks for your support. I have a couple of exciting new projects in the works. Stay tuned.
Cheers, Doug
