    Que es Esto?

    The number may be a replacement part number. The switch is B56 page x3 Body Mounting part number 1223545 from Series III. I know it is the same as the part for my Series II that was broken like most, and I replaced it with a much better switch from an Austin Healey with some modifications...

    Series II windshield and door post on Series I car

    I believe you can find the stainless-steel trim for the rear window for the hardtop; however, the reproduction of the rear window seal does not have the provision for installation of that stainless steel trim in the rubber seal.

    1962 Series II - Inner Rear View Mirror

    My inside mirror on my Series ll Alpine is black and the glass is not flat glass but somewhat curved to give a wider vision without larger glass. I believe it is original. I do not believe there are new ones available and may need to get another good used mirror.

    Positioning of driver's side mirror

    I have a Sunbeam Alpine Sll with a front fender mirror that came with the car. It has a 3-1/2" glass and was mounted using two studs through the top of the fender with nuts inside. The problem I had to remove it was only a 2-1/2" hole on the inside brace of the firewall. I had to cut part of...

    Battery Cover question...

    I have a cover like the one shown with 3 out of 4 of those rubber type bumpers that are 1/2" in diameter and 1/8" thick. They do not hold down the battery because I have two brackets the bolt to the bottom of the battery box that hold the battery.

    My experience installing the engine and transmission is the same, but I have the rear end on a dolly, and I use a floor jack in the front to both change the angle of the engine and transmission as well as being able to move the car toward the engine, since I am using a chain fall and not an...

    Factory undercoating question

    I agree that if you cause any dust, you need a mask to protect you. My 62 Series II had the hard roof tar material in all of the fender wells. I spent a lot of time laying on my back using a gasket scraper and a small hammer to chip all of it off and leaving only a little texture that I will...

    Series II - Expansion Tank Options

    The reason for the different upper hose for Series I is the size of the radiator inlet and outlet is smaller than the Series II since the engine is smaller for the Series I than the Series II. How do I know, I bought a radiator that was advertised as for a Series II and when I received it I...

    Door card/panel clips

    I believe the black spacers are to match the black eschuseon around the handles that are spring loaded with the chrome trim.
