Hello,
?The vinyl cover for the convertible top on Mk1A's and MkII has both 'Lift-the-Dot" and? button snap fasteners.My question concerns the button snap fasteners.One of my button snaps has finally made its screw hole too big for the # 6 screw. A new # 6 still is too small to anchor correctly..Does anyone know a source for a button snap with the original size button but with a # 8 screw. I tried West Marine and all they have is various length # 6.?Thanks in advance,?Jim Armstrong

You need to go to an auto upholstery shop that does convertible tops to see what they have for snaps.

 

You might be able to get behind the screw hole and gently hammer the hole smaller.

 

AuVeCo 14833 is a #8 screw button snap but I don?t know if it will fit or if it is what you need.

Hello,

 

The vinyl cover for the convertible top on Mk1A's and MkII has both 'Lift-the-Dot" and  button snap fasteners.

My question concerns the button snap fasteners.

One of my button snaps has finally made its screw hole too big for the # 6 screw. A new # 6 still is too small to anchor correctly..

Does anyone know a source for a button snap with the original size button but with a # 8 screw. I tried West Marine and all they have is various length # 6.

Perhaps you can get a flat speed nut behind the too large hole. Maybe 
with a magnet on a stick?

I seem to remember that several years ago somebody was selling a paint
protection film that prevented the hardtop from rubbing on the body.  Is
that product still available?

Thanks,

CATO in CO did a kit a long time ago. you can do it yourself working 
with a paint protective film shop to lay it out.

After a 215 mile one way trip running around 60 mph and then a straight up, switch backs, too many to count, run - brakes took a toll.? Right front had some smoking at bottom of mountain.? Brakes heavily used going up as well as down.? First - second gear a major work out, not to mention the operator - not sure I ever down- shifted 2nd to 1st this many times in any kind of run.

I was not really happy with the braking performance.? Any Hawk pad recommendations, tire rack sale,?? HPS - High performance street, PC - HP Ceramic or HPS 5.0 HP street, anyone who has used for awhile and were happy or not happy, comments? would be appreciated.? Model and part numbers would be appreciated as Tire Rack does not list Sunbeams.? Not big on pads with alot of dust or noise.

This trip was to a British Car show outside of Ashville, NC.? About 200 car participating.? 9 Sunbeams, 7 Tigers, 1 Alpine and 1 Algir.? Alpine won 1st with my Tiger coming in second.? Hot day and fun.? Next big Sunbeam gathering is the British Car Day outside of? Charleston, SC on October 19th.? If you are in the Southeast, you should try and make it although you must be pre-registered, no day of show registrations.
Thank you for the recommendations.

Joel

 

I have Hawk HPS ? HB169 F.560 pad on my Tiger, very happy.

 

I have Raybestos Element 3 pads on my daily drive ? they seem great.

RAYBESTOS PGD2 Element 3

There are other options listed for Tiger but I have no experience with any of these pads on a Tiger.

After a 215 mile one way trip running around 60 mph and then a straight up, switch backs, too many to count, run - brakes took a toll.  Right front had some smoking at bottom of mountain.  Brakes heavily used going up as well as down.  First - second gear a major work out, not to mention the operator - not sure I ever down- shifted 2nd to 1st this many times in any kind of run.

 

I was not really happy with the braking performance.  Any Hawk pad recommendations, tire rack sale,   HPS - High performance street, PC - HP Ceramic or HPS 5.0 HP street, anyone who has used for awhile and were happy or not happy, comments  would be appreciated.  Model and part numbers would be appreciated as Tire Rack does not list Sunbeams.  Not big on pads with alot of dust or noise.

 

This trip was to a British Car show outside of Ashville, NC.  About 200 car participating.  9 Sunbeams, 7 Tigers, 1 Alpine and 1 Algir.  Alpine won 1st with my Tiger coming in second.  Hot day and fun.  Next big Sunbeam gathering is the British Car Day outside of  Charleston, SC on October 19th.

Thank you for the recommendations.

Joel,

I would say that the majority of pads that perform well generally generate
a fair bit of brake dust as they tend to be a bit softer.

Also be careful re the performance for a one off drive vs your usual
driving... more competition style pads that stand up well to track days
tend to require a bit of heat in them, and are not always the best for
normal road driving.

Just some thoughts.

MK

I did not get a reply for this one so I dug deeper.

 

The metal clip for the waist roll has 2 rivets holding it to the cardboard
in the waist roll.

Clip is 42mm x 12mm

I have not found a part number listing for this clip possibly because it is
part of an assembly.

 

I believe new waist rolls have no clips so you would need Velcro or glue to
attach it to the panel or is there another option.

Hi Ron,

When I got a new waist roll several years ago it came with the clips
attached.  You can see one of the clips circled in white in the attached
photo.

Hi all.
Is someone can tell me the torque setting for the fulcrum pin nuts there are no specifications in the workshop manual ?
Also what kind of tool i can use to torque the upper/back nuts, there is no place to use the torque wrench ?
Thanks !
