    Early Sunbeam Alpine Hardtop Rear Window Seal

    Rick, I just don't see how the trim pieces, (my photo), fits over or into that triangular cut out. but if you say it does. but the real question is, is it obtainable?

    Early Sunbeam Alpine Hardtop Rear Window Seal

    interesting diagram, is that channel the right shape to latch-in the trim? I though the trim has two separate sides that I assume would need to slip into grooves on either side. the groove in the diagram you posted Rick seems to have a cut out diamond shape.

    now pretty

    I received a 124.00 ticket for no front plate In the SF Bay Are (Oakland, where there is 1 meter officer for every 5 citizens...they are ruthless). I had to get a completely new set of plates from the DMV, which of course costs money. now I have my front plate.. Society is safe again!

    Overdrive Relay

    Thanks Mark You are always well informed and very helpful. much appreciated! I would Not wish to install any old, used relay if at all possible. Seeing as I have a very early car, 59, and am installing a SV- OD, and its various components, I am figuring I will have to modify my harness for both...

    Hub Puller

    But a 4 bolt puller? I have wire wheel hubs. Is it not best to stick to a 4 bolt puller? I though I had read something here about not using a 3 bolt unit if you had splined hubs. Hey If no damage will occur for using a 3 bold puller.. I'm game. Cheers!
