    Electric pusher fan

    Does anyone have an electric pusher fan on the radiator? I am thinking of installing one to help my Alpine when the weather is hot and the traffic slows me down. Usually the car runs with no problems. If you are, can you share which one you installed. Many thanks

    wheels follow up

    After my last post, it has come to my attention that I never posted any pictures of my new wheels. So sorry. Again, these are from VTO wheels and I purchased the 13 inch. The offset was perfect and they are a pleasure to do businness with. No..I have no affiliation with them..just a decent company

    Here is a follow up to my post on what wheels to put on my Series iv. After a lot of thought, I went with John Brown Wheels from England. That is the good news, now the bad. After waiting for some time, I called and found out that my wheels are on the ship being held for ransom in the Suez...

    wind deflector

    Has anyone retro fitted a rear seat wind delector? I put on visors this year and it helped some with the wind but I would like to mount the one behind the seats. Has anyone done this? and if so, which one worked for you. Many thanks and stay safe....

    looking for driving light mount

    Does anyone have or know where I can purchase mounts for driving lights for a SeriesIV? I did see the ones that attach to the hood brackets or even a special mount that attaches to behind the bumper. I think the lights look good on an Alpine if they are not oversized. Anybody?

    Speedo help

    My speedometer has never worked so I am trying to fix it. First, I disconnected the cable from the transmission and attached it to my drill. Yes...the speedo works. Now I went to pull the gear out of the tranny, removed two small bolts but that is about as far as I got. I can't figure out how to...
