    leaf spring thrust buttons

    Does anyone have a source for the hard rubber plugs that sit in the rear leaf springs? The parts manual calls them thrust buttons. SS doesn't sell them. I have attached some photos of the buttons as well as a sketch to help visualize the dimensions. The sketch is not to scale, it is for...

    B9100106 for sale

The car has backyard quality paint with some bubbling in the rockers, but is far from a rust bucket and not a bad candidate for restoration. It was parked so close to...

    value of metal trunk plugs

    I've located the rear clip of an Alpine that has a complete set of the metal trunk plugs still intact. They are in nice shape and the owner is willing to sell them to me. He told me to pay "what I think is fair" for the plugs. I want to give him market value, but I have no idea what that is. Any...

    false floor passenger foot rest

    Did Series III cars have the false floor / passenger foot rest? Would it be the same as the false floor used in the Tiger, or shaped differently because of the size of the tranmission tunnel? Thanks! Kim Series III Tiger II
