Reply to: RE>Rear end compatibility...
I think I saw an article about this swap in the Alpine Guide a publication of
the Sunbeam Alpine Owner's Club of England. If you don't have access to a
copy, I will look it up for you. Also you can buy brackets to weld on your
Series II axle to fit tube shocks from England. I have the address if you
would like to try this option. Tom W. (T. W. Automotive)

A friend and I are both interested in swaping out our lever shock compatible
rear ends for later units which use tube shocks. He has a Series II car and
the Sumbean is a Series I. Has anybody done this? I have a tube shock rear
out of my Series IV parts car I might use or I might let my friend have it for
his car if I go with a stronger, non-Alpine unit. Somewhere along the way I
read that the leaf springs got wider, is it possible to use the wider springs
on the earlier cars and/or will the later rear ends bolt up to the earlier
springs?
