41. Re: front frnders (score: 1): Author: JACranwell@aol.com; Date: Sat, 6 Mar 2004 13:35:45 EST; I think by fender, you mean front wings. If so, then I'm pretty sure they are the same, unlike the rear, which obviously have the pointy bit on the series 1-3.

I'd have thought 5 bucks would be a fair price, but hey! that's the free market for you. There's probably someone mad or desperate enough out there willin; /html/alpines/2004-01/msg00002.html (7,484 bytes)

Re: Luggage Space (score: 1): Author: JACranwell@aol.com; Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2004 05:19:11 EST; On long trips past, I've carried a spare inner tube, some tyre levers, and a small compressor, in place of the spare wheel, which came in useful on at least one occasion. All the above, plus a numbe; /html/alpines/2004-01/msg00008.html (6,991 bytes)

46. The last Sunbeam (score: 1): Author: JACranwell@aol.com; Date: Wed, 10 Dec 2003 12:02:09 EST; I'm sure many of you will have seen this before, but it is a most informative site about the 'last Sunbeam' and the Sunbeam-Lotus in particular, and the Chrysler/Peugoet/Talbot-Sunbeam history.

47. Re: Crankshaft pulley / timing cover clearance?? (score: 1): Author: JACranwell@aol.com; Date: Fri, 19 Dec 2003 05:13:10 EST; You need a certain amount of clearance for the oil thrower to work its magic. Too tight would cause even more oil to drip than it is designed to. The important thing is to centre the cover as best y; /html/alpines/2003-12/msg00046.html (7,161 bytes)

49. Re: front signal housing screws (score: 1): Author: JACranwell@aol.com; Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2003 13:58:38 EDT; Without checking the manual, I think 3 screws means it is SIV or SV. Up to SIII has the round type with combined side-light and indicator bulb, and I think they had 2 screws. Regrettably, I converted; /html/alpines/2003-10/msg00015.html (7,122 bytes)

(score: 1): Author: JACranwell@aol.com; Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2003 06:24:12 EDT; The best solution is to splice the turn signal/side light earth into the headlight ground, which earths to the inner wing section.

51. Re: flaming dog (score: 1): Author: JACranwell@aol.com; Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2003 06:35:26 EDT; An alternative would be to use some short lengths of plastic tubing over the badge pins. This is a similar solution to the widgets used for replacement SUNBEAM letters from some suppliers. Julian.; /html/alpines/2003-10/msg00024.html (6,771 bytes)

Since you're getting a 'click', then it it sending current through to the solenoid.

54. Re: Snapped lug bolt...Success...Thanx... (score: 1): Author: JACranwell@aol.com; Date: Sun, 28 Sep 2003 04:12:50 EDT; The trouble with those rear hubs is that the hub gets 'welded' to the shaft over time. I've found the best method is to dismantle the whole brake assembly, oils seal housing, backing plate etc, whic; /html/alpines/2003-09/msg00123.html (7,526 bytes)
55. Re: Wire Wheel Nuts and Cubby Box Surround (score: 1): Author: JACranwell@aol.com; Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2003 12:41:12 EDT; That's right on the threads. The idea is that the LHT on the RHS cannot come loose under forward motion, as they tighten in the opposite direction to travel. Same for the other side.

57. Re: Weber linkage (score: 1): Author: JACranwell@aol.com; Date: Sat, 23 Aug 2003 04:05:51 EDT; The SIV or SIII solex linkage would make life much easier. I have a that arrangement for my SIII with the Webber, and it works great. I can send photos if useful. Julian.; /html/alpines/2003-08/msg00084.html (6,517 bytes)
58. Re: Weber linkage (score: 1): Author: JACranwell@aol.com; Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2003 12:18:38 EDT; I just checked, and the carb was made by Webber in Italy. Although the carb originally came off an SIV (1600cc) donor car, I now have it my SIII, which now has the later 1725. It must have been a ret; /html/alpines/2003-08/msg00100.html (7,247 bytes)
