Reply to: RE>>Rootes Service Bulletins
Service bulletins were issued by Rootes just like they are today. When a
problem is detected after the cars are built, the factory sent a service
bulletin stating how to fix it to all the dealers. I have about 30 of these
bulletins I would like to share with other owners. I'm willing to put the
time and effort into this to keep our cars running. I do not intend to sell
this information. I would like to see it given out for free. Here are some
titles of the ones I have. I would like opinions from other if they are worth
reading. Thank you.
#66-2 Carburetor Modification for Sunbeam Tiger 260
#66-4 Crankshaft End Play - 1725 cc Engine
#66-5 Engine Oil Cooler Pipe Fouling - Alpine V
#66-6 Oil Pressure Relief Valve Change - 1725 cc Engine
#66-10 Lifting Jacks for Alpine V and Tiger 260
#67-23 Fan Blade Cleareance - Tiger 260
#67-28 Windshield Water Leaks - Tiger 260 and Alpine V
#67-49 New Brake Pads - Alpine IV & V, Tiger 260
#67-54 Incorrect Stowage Convertible Top Tiger II and Alpine V
Thank you for your opinions and help.

Well yeah, all the clubs have their shop notes and they have put alot of
work into them, and they sell them to make a few bucks for the club....
I'm sure they wouldn't take kindly to you giving them away.
I've never seen an original Rootes bulletin, did they have such things
in those days? More important, would they still be worth even reading?
