    I think I may have screwed up, help!

    Just a club thing but not too to make yourself if you have a welder and some cutting tools, but it seems there are local options available.

    I think I may have screwed up, help!

    I can't see your photos cause I'm not a snapfish guy, but from your description it sounds like you have broken the top off the threaded pin. Getting these joints apart is a real bitch. One guy in our club made a special tool for the job. It's a piece a steel tubing about 2" long with a cap...

    I saw this down at amelia island could not belive it

    Ask them directly, they are on facebook. Rootes Archive Centre Trust. And as for the car itself it's got a lot of quality issues i reckon, panel fit, trim fit, paint and that's just from the photos supplies. In the flesh I reckon you could find many more. Not worth that kind of money in my book

    Upper/Lower Ball Joint Replacement Process

    IIRC there is a C clip that holds the upper ball joint on place. I'm guessing the spot welds ppl are referring to are a substitute for the C clip but I think the C clip is a simpler method.

    Bad Gear Set from SS

    Not entirely related to this thread but I also have a very noisy diff in my SV GT with OD. After an unsuccessful search locally for a replacement and no guarantees another used unit would be any better than what I already have I decided to follow the lead of a fellow club member and install a...

    Help

    For us non USA residents i assume zddp is lead replacement product? In AUS if you have an head without hardened valve seats then a lead additive is essential with unleaded fuels. We also have an E85 product but fortunately also have 95 and 98 octane leadfree fuels as well as standard unleaded...

    1965 Series IV GT

    Great project for someone if the price is right. And it's a genuine GT car which if I'm not mistaken is quite rare in the USA as most Alpines sent to the the States were the ragtops

    Dash gauges

    Also there are 2 rubber rings, a circle profile one between the the chrome ring and glass and another with square profile between the glass and the gauge faceplate. Over time these deteriorate and often "glue" themselves to the surfaces they are in contact with making the the removal of the...
