    V6 Jose's Hotmail Hacked?

    Hi Jose I just received a very suspicious looking email entitled `Sensual` - it doesn't look right so I wanted warn you and other guys that it might be a malicious hack and not to open it unless Jose confirms its really from him! Hope all is well.

    Why I'm not making progress with my conversion!

    This is kind of an apology to my friend Jose, but also an acknowledgement that `life` gets in the way sometimes! My Alpine still sits patiently in the garage and in the meantime I've grown a family and restored an old pram!

    Front Valance / Welding

    I'm in the process of taking paint (and filler) back to metal (rust) in places where there is bubbling paint. My front valance is welded to the wings - but is held with filler/seam sealer under the indicators and to the inner grille sides. I'll be removing it to address some other issues...

    Electronic Tachometer Specialist

    Hi Chris Your problem is probably long since sorted - but I recall a guy called Paul Norton here in the UK was the guy to speak to re Tachs. Is this the slowest EVER response to a question? ;-) Best M

    Solex/Weber DGV Manifold

    Hi Guys I have an original Solex manifold taken from my Series IV Alpine - which is now no longer required (V6 conversion in progress). As you probably know the Weber 32/36 bolts straight on (the Weber is now on my wifes Spitfire). I'd guess shipping to the US would be c$30 (but I will...

    V6 Marks 1964 Sunbeam Alpine V6 Project (UK)

    Hi guys - just thought I'd check in! Our daughter (Linnea) is now nearly 4 months old and is just delightful. I unexpectedly have the opportunity to spend some more time with her due to an illness which has knocked me off my feet and will keep me off work for the next few weeks (scepticemia...

    Alternator Upgrade - and wiring upgrade too?

    Hi all I just received an 80amp alternator which has the 3 spade plug fitting (which is all my faulty Lucas 101 had) - in addition to the 3 spage plug fitting it also has a terminal (and adjoining spade terminal) marked `B+` and another marked `W`. My original wiring uses all 3 spades for...

    Alternator - Jose's Kit

    Does anyone have a pic of Jose's alternaotr bracket mounted to the car (is it on the U.S. drivers side?) I recall it fits Delco (I have Lucas) but I can't quite see which bolt holes it uses in the block. I'd prefer to mount it on the US Passenger side if possible (my driver side) - originally...

    Must be a joke!

    Caveat Emptor Yes I agree we should let it drop - although it's frustrating to think another Sunbeam enthusiast somewhere will see his offerings and think `Humm he's asking $999 for that hood - maybe he'll take $750 if I make an offer` As my Grandma used to say `Caveat Emptor`, for those of...
