Andy Murkin in the UK has a new Hillman page online, you can get to
it from the Rootes page (http://www.team.net/www/rootes/).
On the Alpines page, the article about converting from positive to
negative ground has been posted to the Tech Tips; thanks to Tom
Wiencek for submitting it. Also, a listing for TW Automotive (TW =
Tom Wiencek) has been added to the suppliers page.
Regarding the Rootes Service Bulletins, Tom sent several to me some
time back, I just haven't gotten around to putting them up yet.
Anybody who wants to send any bulletins to me, feel free to do so and
I'll eventually put them up. If you HTML-ize them first, they'll get
put up quicker. :^) To prevent duplication of effort, here's a
