    Bern, If you're talking about the hub in the center of the wheel itself there was one being sold on e-bay a while ago, it was re-advertised a couple of times for about £30 but I haven't seen it recently. It has been quiet hasn't it !! Andy

    HLM replacement air filter

    Gents, I use my car on a daily basis. What is the best option for replacing the stock gauze trumpets ? I have been to ITG in the UK who will make me a bespoke sandwich type case with their filter material (about £130 but cheaper with any extra orders). I could also go down the route of...

    Random Pictures

    Michael, I saw the metalic green Alpine you refer to at the STOC National meeting at Silverstone some years back. I though it was a stunning car and similar to an Aston Martin from some aspects. Nicely executed as well. Not sure who owns it but could find out easily. Andy

    Harrington LM roof

    Gents, The fact that its ogiginal is good news for me. I thought I'd bought a bodged repair. By the sounds of it there is no structural element to it and can fill it with a modern filler (Isopon P38 or similar). Jan, You're right the crack is along the line of the side trim. It must...

    Harrington LM roof

    Gents, I appreciate that the roof of the Harrington is glassfibre bonded to the metal structure of an alpine but just how is it bonded? I imagined that there was a downwards overlap of glassfibre onto the metal lower rear wing but in trying to repair some damage to the rear wing of my car it...

    Suspension puzzle

    I have a rattle on the front suspension when I go over pot holes. It sounds like a heavy metal object (as opposed to sheet metal) and dissapears under braking. I'm sure the answers easy but I can't think what it is. I have pulled pushed and struck with a copper hammer all over the suspension...
