Ok thanks for confirming back, I may well have a ride down, I've been once to the Rootes Archive Centre and found it fascinating.

The lure of possible spares and a look at some nice cars too is a bonus

Gary

Can anyone confirm if there will be the usual Sunbeam Spares Day held at the Memorial Park in Coventry and if so what date?

Thanks

Gary

Great Article, is there any truth in the story I've read that when Lord Rootes test drove the car, he left the Hand Brake on!

Although he was still impressed with the Performance?

Another Brief update. I've now got my Oilite bushes, they are very slightly larger in overall diameter at 7/16" against the 3/8" diameter of the ones in the Kit from the USA. I don't believe this extra 1/16" (1.5mm) approx will be that critical. So I will drop then off at my Engineer mates tonight. ...

Another update on the Hinge refurbishment, after discussions with my Engineer mate he's confirmed he should be able to repair my Hinges with the Oilite Bushes I'm proposing :lol: I've ordered some via the internet so hopefully they will be here by Wednesday and I can drop them off with him. He's als...

They are Oil Impregnated Phosphor/Bronze I believe?

I haven't ordered any as yet till I see what my Engineer mate thinks, although the sizes I need are readily available on E-Bay.

Will keep you posted

Gary

Another option is one of these Oilite bush and pin kits, unfortunately I'm struggling to source a supplier in the UK? :cry: I have purchased some hardened 5/16" diameter steel rod, so should be able to source some similar Oilite bushes in the UK. I've got an Engineer friend I'm seeing at the weekend...

Some Photo's attached of the Hinges?

I managed to get some help at the Weekend with removing the doors, we managed to remove the Hinges from the doors with no problems. We also managed to drift out 3 of the old Pins from the Hinges with the use of my Large Bench Vice for two of them and a large Hammer and Drift on the third. The fourth...

This Tiger's been up for sale at a Dealer for quite a while, it's now been reduced in price by a very large amount?

Wish it had been this price a year ago

I'm Hopefully getting some help on Saturday to remove the doors, then I will try and remove the hinge to door screws :cry: . I've recently purchased a set of good quality Punches/drifts with one the correct size of 5/16", I've got a hefty Workbench and Vice so will try and knock the old pins out and...

I'm still waiting for help to get the Doors off the car. I've managed to loosen all the 'A' Post screws with an Impact Driver which wasn't easy, next job is to try and loosen the hinge to door screws which no doubt will be a pain too! I see that you can buy Hinge Pin removal tools off Frost, but don...

Hi All and Happy New Year I've noticed I have a lot of play in my Door Hinges, especially the top ones on both the Drivers and Passenger sides. I see that Alpine West Midlands do a replacement Hinge Pin kit. Can anyone confirm if the hinge pins can be replaced one at a time with the Door insitu or i...

Merry Christmas to all you fellow Tiger Owners

I'm thinking of treating myself to some up-rated Anti-tramp springs off Sunbeam Alpine/Tiger Spares I don't make an habit of driving fast/hard in my Tiger, but do give it some beans once in a while :oops: :oops: :P However when pulling away sharpish from a 'T' junction recently I got the most horren...
