[Alpines] rear brake drop-ins from Ford?

[Ed Esslinger]

Hi- Barry. I'm sorry I can't help with your brake problem. BUT I and I'm 
sure everyone on this list, would like to know how the well the Electric 
Alpine is working out for you. With the price of gas and with the new types 
of batteries becoming available, I would think other Sunbeam owners may 
consider this is the way to go. I would appreciate it, if you would send me 
some pictures,that I could post on the sunbeamalpine club site.  Best 
Regards  Ed Esslinger.  (coolsunbeam)
