    Speedo Cable Oil Seal?

    I do plan to replace the speedo cable as well to remove all the oil/grease in there. It is caked.

    Speedo Cable Oil Seal?

    I'm not sure how I missed that?? Thanks. I do have the early Non-Syncro on 1st gear tranny so I'll get the equivalent. There is a small oil leak from the gasket, and the amount of oil found in the gauge makes me think it wasn't over lubricated. I've owned the car for 20 years. Not driven it...

    Speedo Cable Oil Seal?

    Hey guys. I just received the attached pic from Mike at British Speedo of my unit on his desk. He told me the root cause of my issue was oil/grease in the gauge that had come from the cable and not to re-install the speedo until I had solved the root cause. I have looked at the Parts Manual and...

    Odometer Reset Arm removal

    The speedo is out, and the solution was so simple with a little help from Mike at British Speedo. Hope this helps someone else in future... I didn't undo any screws or have to remove the shaft. With the odometer reset arm at 6 o'clock, and the cable disconnected, pull the speedo as far forward...

    Odometer Reset Arm removal

    Hey guys. I really appreciate the feedback. After looking at some of the suggestions above I still have been unable to remove the speedo from the dash due to the reset arm. @Asm109 I only see one screw in the back. Not sure that holds the guts but even if it does I don't see how the reset arm...

    Odometer Reset Arm removal

    Simple question but does the odometer reset arm simply unscrew from the bottom of the Speedo housing? I’m afraid of putting too much pressure on it and breaking something as it’s very tight. There’s an outer cover on the arm that makes it more difficult to grip. Any tips? Thanks

    Rebuilt Zenith Twin 36WIP Carbs For Sale

    I added the K&N filter option to draw in cool air from the front rather than hot air from the top of the engine. This set up is much easier for me to maintain

    Rebuilt Zenith Twin 36WIP Carbs For Sale

    Ah. Prior to the rebuild, spraying carb cleaner around the linkage would cause the idle speed to change slightly. After there was none of this. I’m not sure exactly what was done but this issue was resolved. The issue I had was trying to keep the carbs in sync. They were running rich, and it...

    Rebuilt Zenith Twin 36WIP Carbs For Sale

    I'm not sure to be honest with you. I can say I was not aware of any issues with the bushings on the spindles.

    Alpine Innovations Weber Carb Conversion

    I think what made me finally decide to switch was the number of different manifold/carb combinations Rootes tried over the years. I don’t think they ever got it right. Originally is important in preserving our cars but I believe this is where Rootes would have gone with more development. My car...

    Alpine Innovations Weber Carb Conversion

    Hey all I don't post very often and I guess I can't put anything in the "Stock" Alpine thread anymore. After years of unreliability and below average performance I finally bit the bullet and purchased the full curved manifold, Weber carb, and K&N filter conversion kit from Jerome at Alpine...

    Excited to share. New life, new energy!

    We've owned our Alpine for almost 20 years but unfortunately, for a bunch of different reasons (wouldn't start, wouldn't stop...) have hardly used it in the last 10. It's amazing how confidence in reliability can hurt the relationship between car and driver. But I am delighted to say that is...

    Huge Thanks

    Big shoutout to 'Stephen' from Waxhaw, NC, for giving up his Friday night and Saturday morning to help me get my Series 3 running again after it's been sitting for 2 years. I owe you dinner at Maxwell's, mate. Needed plugs, air in tires, and fuel filter/lines and carbs clearing out. Will do a...
