    Sunbeams on video

    I recently got vintage racing automotive series from netflix. There are several shots throughout with sunbeams racing in the background. It was le mans and bahamas speed week. It was made in the 80s so not the best quality video. There are a few tigers, an alpine and a Harrington.

    alpine_64's mystery dash door seal?

    Hi Michael, I think I figured out the mystery seal you posted about a while back that looks like it would go on each end of the dash cap in early series cars. I recently redid my doors so I pulled the doors off my parts car and stripped them of everything that was left that was still...

    Today there was a drag n at NOMSP. Unfortunately I had too much going on this weekend and couldn't make it. Hopefully the next one will have an Alpine in it. Looks like a lot of fun . http://www.streetfire.net/video/nola-motorsports-raceway-drag-n-lap-10282012_2400777.htm

    Early series hard top rear window thickness

    I know this has been discussed before but is the rear plastic window in an early series hard top 1/16" or 1/8" thick. I wasn't able to find a definitive answer. Thanks.

    Under dash / floor mount pedal and master cylinders

    Anyone using one of these pedal setups on an Alpine? If so which are you using and could you post pictures? Thanks. It would free up much needed engine compartment space if there's something that will fit inside.

    Series 2 door rattle strips

    Did the series 2 originally have the fuzzy rattle strips on both the inside and outside of the windows? The reason I ask is because this weekend I took the doors off my parts car to disassemble them and that's how it was on there. The last date I can fi d on anything to do with the car is 1974...

    Upper A Arm angle

    Does anyone know offhand what the relationship of the upper a arm is to the ground at ride height? Im guessing it angles down from the fender out to the wheel. If that is so, has anyone lowered the mounting point of the upper a arm for a better camber curve? I know old Mustangs suffered from the...

    Alpine camber gain

    Does anyone know or have measured the camber change in an early series alpine? From pictures of hard turns it looks like camber is going more positive(the wrong direction) as the side gets compressed. Maybe it's just an optical illusion, but surely it's not designed to go the wrong way?

    4 bbl FAST TBI question

    If I'm installing a 4 bbl FAST TBI on the dual plane offy manifold, how should I adjust the secondaries to open? It has a Holley 20-122 adjustable secondary rod to go between the primary and secondary lever so you can adjust when the secondaries open. Sice this is a TBI and not a carb, would it...

    Ford 2.8 pulley bolt spacing

    Does anyone have an engine on a stand or a crank pulley laying around that they can get the bolt spacing for the 4 bolts that go around the center bolt? I just need the measurement of 2 that are opposite from each other center to center. I'm trying to mount a trigger wheel and can't get my...
