I would like to start compiling a list of off the shelf parts that may
be used on the Sunbeams. There have been times whet I had to replace
something and either the original was out of stock or I was in a hurry.
Examples are:
1.Front braks pads from 1975 (ish) Merc Capri. Exact fit but guide
holes need drilling out.
2.Clutch master cylinder from MGB. Rebuild kit also works for Series V.
3.Heater valve is a generic in line unit from Kragan ($12). A little
modification to the cable required.
4.Volvo OD unit - I would like to know more re models years etc.
5.I have seen someone with a US made brake booster on their Sunbeam -
what was it from?
6.I hear the alternator from the Nissan pickup with internal regulator
is a good fit.(cant remember the year - maybe 1978-80) Metal work and
wiring required.
7. My single carb manifold is running a Holley 5120 series from a Chevy
Nova. Didn't even have to rejet. Some linkage work required. Manual
choke conversion required. (my car is smog exempt in CA)
etc etc
I would love to see this list grow, and I will keep any additions that
are posted to me, post them to the list eventually and hopefully get
someone to add it to a Web pag.
