Subject: [Alpines] window mechanism
Message-ID: <D0C4F239C0024FEFA23CA349CCBE0ACE@lehtipuu224865>

I bought a window lift mechanism for my s4, but didnt know s5 has a
slightly different system. First, fixing points are different both to the
window rail and to the door. It also is possible that when I changed new
toothed segment to my old one, I have missed one pressed steel plate.



How different those mechanisms are? I can cut out old points which connects
window bottom rail and weld it back again, but are those components
otherwise made in the same way of operation?



Has anyone photos?

Lauri,

I had the same problem, when fitting an SV unit to my SIII. I just spread the
window bottom channel to fit the larger rounded sliders in the mechanism, and
it has worked fine for the last 10 years.

My Ser III has twin Zenith WIP carbs. When started for the first time after
winter hibernation gaskets on both carbs leaked fuel. I have not have had any
luck in finding a gasket kit for this carb. I only need a kit for one carb
since I have an unused gasket set  on hand.

Possible  source suggestions are appreciated.  Please e-mail

Phil,

I am not sure what carb gaskets you need but Victoria british does  
sell individual gaskets.   (as painful as it is to suggest VB,  
usually it isn't the right part and Customer service is the pits,  
they are a Sunbeam Supplier)

http://www.victoriabritish.com/icatalog/sun/full.aspx?Page=27

Occasionally I will see the really nice rebuild kits with float  
needles on Ebay.

Good luck.

Why not make one yourself. Materials required: sheet cardboard of similar
thickness,
original gasket for template, "exacto" knife and a pencil. I'm assuming you're
referring
to the flat top cover gasket.

I have used the gaskets from rebuild kits from Sunbeam Specialties, made

When I had zeniths I once put in a gasket which suck gasoline and become
thicker during years. Then it pushed float down and carb leaked over.
This was very nasty to find out, because it happened only when engine was
running and the car was in downhill.
With Zenith Strombergs I haven't had any problems.

Ive had the same problems- different carbs BUT fuel pressure to high- very
much worth checking as is float level on level ground or concrete floor etc.

I second this possibility.  I use a pressure regulator in the fuel line (set
at 1 psi) and I put in a different needle valve design (grose jet).  Never had
any oozing.

Let me guess, you are running an electric pump huh?

If so needs a regulator, 2psig max.

Do both carbs flood?

Are you using an electric fuel pump? It might be set to too high a pressure.

What's the history on the Webbers?  Did they run OK in the past?  If so, what
changes have you made recently?

The real problem is you don't know the proper spelling for Weber,
and the carbs know it.

Seriously, it sounds like you may have a problem with the inlet
needles not shutting off correctly.  And as one person suggested this could
be caused by too high an inlet pressure from the fuel pump.  Do you know
what pressure is being delivered to the carbs?

Message-ID: <84BC9E80A5F74C4EA7A4DF53A03A4B50@DOUGJONESIL>

I was assembling the hard top for my Sunbeam Alpine IV GT and found that I
am missing the chrome
trim around the rear window for the hard top. Does anyone on the list have
trim pieces that  they would like to part with?
 
Thank you
 
I appreciate all of the great threads on the list.

Hi Doug,

I have a spare set here in the UK if you don't get fixed up locally.

Subject: [Alpines] Getting rid of the Sunbeam
Message-ID: <20100612171621.65C622E05D@bradakis.com>

Every year here in Salt Lake City we have a neighborhood
cleanup week.  Crews go through various areas with dump
trucks, loaders and such picking up stuff too big or
heavy to put in the weekly garbage.

I decided it was time to roll the Sunbeam out to the
curb to have it hauled away.  It still runs, but it
has been replaced by something better.  It sat outside
for a while, there's some surface rust on the chrome.
The thing has seen better days, but I just no longer
want it.  I rolled it out to the curb, and it was
gone within hours.

If you want to see what sort of condition it was in,
see http://www.team.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=54

Maybe the economy will pick up, tons of donations to
Team.Net will come rolling in, and I'll be able to
afford a real Sunbeam!

Mark:
That is funny! I was thinking, why would that guy do such a thing?

When I first dated my wife waaay back in 1968 or so, I picked her up in 
my Series V Alpine. She asked me if Sunbeam was the same company that 
makes mix masters. I still kept on dating her though.

Which way door inner weather strip is correct? It seems logic to put it
straight side against window.
I removed old ones and forgot to check right assembly.

Subject: [Alpines] Parrish/Smoothline hardtop weather seals
Message-ID: <AANLkTimLumuIfcMTuCl0SUJn_1FD6v4jtzUD5Gp4To9g@mail.gmail.com>

A couple years back I bought a used Parrish hardtop, and it's been a
joy. I'm thinking of having it pained as a present, and so it'll match
my 67 V better. It's just a daily driver, and it'll be kind of odd for
the hardtop to be the nicest part ..
The aint shop is worried that they'll tear the rubber taking it off,
and it won't be in shape to put back.
It looks from their web site like smoothline wants a bunch for the
weather seals. $60 each side windows, $70 for the rear deck, and $60
for the rear window. That seems excessive. Anyone have experience
trying to save rubber? Any manufacturers who have a catalog of rubber
by profile or anything? Any other hints for the too-cheap, including
"suck it up, bro"?

Maybe I just have to decide I'm worth it ...
