I'm in the process of returning my 64 MkI to more of an original state and
thought I might be able solicit some help from someone on the list. I would
like to attempt to reinstall the 'SUNBEAM' lettering on the nose of the car.
The difficulty that I have is that a PO (either by choice or because of
damage repair) filled the mounting holes concealing their locations. The
paint on the car is immaculate, but I'm still willing to re-drill the holes
as long as I'm confident in the accuracy of the hole location. I've found
that on the underside of the double-walled sheet metal there are some fairly
large holes which may represent the general location of the mounting clips,
but in my conversation with Rick @ Sunbeam Specialties, these holes may or
may not be accurate.
My question: Does anyone have either a Tiger or an Alpine with similar
lettering that would be willing to make a template of the hole location for
me? A pencil and paper "rubbing" over the holes would be more than adequate
to establish the spacing and position.
I would never ask anyone to remove the letters and risk possible damage to
them or the paint finish, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask in the event
that someone has a car with the holes already exposed.
If you might be able to help, please contact me directly rather than taking
up space on the list.
Thanks in advance,
