    Rear hub wanted

    Bought the one offered above from Heinz. Thanks! As for the handing question, my car has steel wheels so the hubs are not handed. Turns out the wire wheel hubs are handed due to the knock off threading.

    Introduction.. and broken engine?

    Thanks for the welcome! I've been using the pdfs of the workshop manual in the Tech Data on this site. It is certainly useful. Thanks Rick, I might hit you up for parts. Looks like I might need a new block and crankshaft! Or I can take Ken's idea of swapping in a later engine. Ok, I...

    Introduction.. and broken engine?

    Hello everybody, my name is Jason and I bought my first Sunbeam Alpine in October. It's a 1963 Series 2 (built October of '62). I purchased it from the original owner's widow and the car had been sitting since 1977 in the same garage. After rousting all of the rodent tenants and fumigating...
