A note on trunk hindges, if you bought some reproduction units and they came with fasteners, you might find they are 6mm thread instead of 1/4-28, i drilled mine slightly and helicoiled to 1/4-28 so i could use correct fasteners

I have an 8 X 10 B&W photo of a MKII engine compartment and trunk taken by Road & Track when they tested the car.? You used to be able to buy copies of the pictures from them for a few bucks.? I requested copies of the MKI, but they couldn't find them.Jim DSent from my Galaxy

These documents took me years to put together, and although the photos are often of restored cars, the information contained within came from som

I cannot swear it is absolutely 100% accurate, but it is pretty close.The Tiger guide was my first effort and at 30+ pages it does not go too deep.?https://www.teae.org/cars/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/StockTigerQuickReferenceV2-19.pdfThe Alpine guide however, is more comprehensive and runs to 130 pages.https://www.teae.org/cars/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Concours-Judging-Guide-Sunbeam-Alpines.pdfThese are living documents which I update occasionally. Soon I will be adding the info about hinge fasteners, along with a couple other updates/corrections.
