    Door Glass Help

    I had to replace the door glass in my series 1. when I installed the glass in the metal channel at the bottom I got the channel to far forward. Is there a way to loosen that up so that I can slide it back about 3/8 of an inch.

    Series 1 Windshield

    I bought a S1 windshield from Pilkington and just got it installed in the frame this week. Fit was perfect. So much nicer than the piece of crap I had.

    2.9 valves

    I have a 2.8 engine in my #2 Alpine. I had my matching shop put the crank from a 2.9L and the valves into my 2.8L It has been about 8 years since the work was done and I have been stalled on the project since, so I have not run the engine yet but this year it will run. So yes you can put 2.9L...

    Sunbeam Alpine Seats

    Pretty sure they were Series I. They were in the car when I originally bought it in 1973. There is a lever on the side that you push down to lock the ratchet in place. But then I’m getting older and memory may not be correct.

    Sunbeam Alpine Seats

    Utah. I have a Series I. My drivers seat is solid. The passenger seat, I can’t get it to stay upright. when you lean back it lays down. Torn or apart a couple times and it just won’t stay up.
