    Automatic trans. kickdown cable

    Yep, and no response here, also no leads on new or used cables in the US (eBay, Amazon, discount sellers, google search for BW35 MG Triumph Volvo and others.

    Automatic trans. kickdown cable

    I understand it controls the pressure to know when to upshift as well as downshift and kickdown. And if not adjusted properly can burn up the transmission (which is possibly what happened).

    bw35 kickdown cable

    I can only find the cables in the UK (eBay), and not Sunbeam specific.

    Soft top from a S-4 or 5 and Installing on a Series 3 - WON'T FIT

    This is the best idea. I took everything apart and straightened the bent part, didn't make ane difference. Over bent and a little difference.

    S-3 soft top hard cover latch assembly

    Took latches and cable off to paint interior a year ago. Now can't find it (it's in that "special place" so I won't loose it). Will be at the invasion.

    Soft top from a S-4 or 5 and Installing on a Series 3 - WON'T FIT

    The dash pad is just moulded plastic, the end that goes under the windshiels is about 1/32" thick. I thought the windshield was ok, if adjusted over 30" the window to windshield is even. I thought Michael said the pivot arms that come out of the B post were bent.

    S-III windshield chrome trim

    It probably is stainless steel, but magnets have a strong attraction to it.

    S-III windshield chrome trim

    Worked too late last night.......the bottom chrome goes under the rubber. Still got a little gap like the middle picture.

    S-III windshield chrome trim

    Car didn't have a windshield when bought. Mix & match pieces and installed a new windshield and rubber from SS. Sides and top chrome fit well, but the bottom is ending short on both sides. Most of the middle chrome section is fully seated in the rubber. We put a little caulking on the side...
