You're welcome! Glad it helped.Thanks, Pete. Great shot and yes it clears it up as I was thinking a different spot.
Finishing my restoration I have exactly the same question as Bob had! But - could it be that this is not a part for all Sunbeam Alpine series (mine is a Series II)?This image should clear up a lot of the mystery.
Seeing as you're from Switzerland, where my parents married and honeymooned...Finishing my restoration I have exactly the same question as Bob had! But - could it be that this is not a part for all Sunbeam Alpine series (mine is a Series II)?
My Sunbeam is actually out of house and I can't compare. I would appriciate very much a picture of the same part, but in a greater scale - and possibly from an other angle.
Thank you for your support over the ocean
They married in Zurich, October 1956.To get an answer quicker is almost not possible - if you consider the Atlantic between!
I'm at home in the north-eastern part of Switzerland. Had your parents visited Zürich or the lake of Constance - that's the region i'm living in.
Looks from above and a bit farther away would help.
And to show you what we are talking about I add a picture of my Series II.
Thanks you for your help!

Gary,Series II dash pad finishers were metal covered with plastic material. The 155 and 156 parts are from a later series Alpine, note the plastic dash panel not found in Series II dash.
If you are referring to the plastic heater escutcheon.. that was introduced on the late series II and continued into series 3 before the GT heater escutcheon became standard on both ST and GT models.note the plastic dash panel not found in Series II dash.
Gary, yes aware they finish the dash pad toomm it does both.Alpine 64, the parts I showed were from my Series II and you are correct they sealed the window channel support, but also were the end caps for the dash pad, which is what TWAutomotive was looking for.
They are made of thin sheet metal and have a small radius edge that is not necessary for a new part. I could not get my printer to scan my drawing so I attach a photo with dimensions. The holes on the curve are not for mounting and would only be used with a coating to allow better attachment. The other two holes are for mounting screws into the end of the dash.Btw Gary... If you have them off the car it would be great to get dimensions...these are the kind of NLA part that would be great for 3d printing
