    Battery Wiring

    I could use some help. I need help with the original battery wiring in an SII. I'm looking for practicality, not necessarily historic correctness. Some owner before me ran 6 ga jumper cable between the battery box and the engine. He cut off the large alligator clamps and attached standard...

    Gas Tank Repair/Sealant

    Bill I looked around the web on a few other forums. On the Rambler forum (and we thought Sunbeams were rare), I found reference to a radiator shop in Santa Maria (just about half way between us).

    Gas Tank Repair/Sealant

    Mike Thanks for your thoughts. The ReNu people near me drill holes and the TIG weld them closed. If the holes are closed properly, is that a problem? Fred

    Gas Tank Repair/Sealant

    Thanks everyone. RedKote and POR seem to be leading the pack. I have not seen any recent favorable responses for ReNu, so I am shying away from it. I will keep you all posted on what I do and what the results are. Fred

    Series II FUEL TANK

    HI EVERYONE I have a Series II, with a fiberglass fuel tank that is suspended by straps from the bottom. The fuel sender is made by "ISSPRO" and quit working. When I removed the sender, I found that it was held in place a goofy plastic ring. I did a web search trying to find pictures of the...

    Alpine Manual Windscreen Washer

    Thanks for the response. The high beam switch is also present, so I think this is for the washer. Looking at the link for the washer bulbs, that is almost exactly what mine looks like. Thanks

    Alpine Manual Windscreen Washer

    Hello, everyone! I bought a S2 1962 Alpine, which seems mechanically solid and runs nicely. My body shop friend has his eye on a few fixes, but it seems to be relatively free of a big rust burden. I am trying to undo years of prior owners hacks and botched wiring jobs. If I pulled out all of...
