Sunbeam Alpine: Series IV & V Data & Torque Settings

This video details Sunbeam Alpine Series IV & V Data and Torque Settings. It is designed to let you quickly access technical specification data on your iPhone or iPad that you may need while working on the car. Rootes changed numerous torque and data settings over the years either by updating Workshop Manuals or publishing Service Bulletins. The figures quoted on this video work well on our Series IV & V Alpines and as far as we are aware were the most up to date issued by Rootes. If you ignore these settings and follow what was published previously in a manual be aware that there will have been a reason why it was changed.

You can fast forward from the contents page (where the timing of each section is listed) to the relevant data figures for whatever part of the car you are working on, then pause to confirm what you require.

Mike,
I took the information out of simple text format by going through the manuals and service bulletins until I had what seems to be the final recommendations that Rootes made and settings that we know work well on our own cars. It would be relatively easy to make a text format list of what is on the video and put it on a PDF. I'll try and do something.

Just curious about the "leafspring" wrapping you show in your photos. What's that all about? Never have seen that before.

thanks, Jim
And Thanks for posting.

 

Mike, Attached is the information in a single PDF text document.

Jim, Wrapping the leaf springs in Denso tape is a common modification in the U.K. It keeps water and muck away from the spring leaves and they stay smooth and lubricated for years (literally). When clean and well lubed, the spring leaves slide over each other silently and don't make ridges and wear marks. The suspension on our Alpines is as silent as a modern car.
