[Sunbeam Talbot Email List] Parts wanted and needed pictures to answer questions, other info

[Wes Stewart]

Just got back from from Galveston with the ST90 in trail. Generally, the 
coachwork is pretty good, no rust to deal with but it looks like there 
have been a few compromises from originality along the way.

I have the parts catalogue, but need the service manual. Shopworn is 
just fine, I can read through most greasy fingerprints.

A wiring diagram scan would be very welcome. Its the usual rats nest 
that needs sorting. There is a short somewhere that totally drained the 
battery. I'm speculating that this was not a new problem as there is a 
racing style electrical switch (red key) under the dash. Security? Well, 
maybe.

The car has a big-time slipping clutch. It was a struggle to get up the 
little ramps and on the trailer.  No diagnosis yet and any advice is 
most welcome.

Pictures needed: I'm suspicious that the rubber mats on the door sills 
are not correct. They are simple ribbed mats: look standard household 
type. Ribs (more like little fins) are about 1/16" apart.

wipers: I cannot tell from the illustration what sort of seal keeps rain 
out of the scuttle panel where the wipers poke through.

I have a tube that sticks out of the (exhaust, I think, might be inlet 
maybe) manifold pointing down at a 45-deg angle that goes nowhere. Its 
loose in the fitting,  about ~3/16"

rear door handle RH
front door handle LH
window winder knobs, all four

the restorer seems to have neglected the jack holes, so I am deciding on 
creating my own tool tray with usable stuff. A lame tire pump and grease 
gun are all that is left in the car at the moment and the correct tools 
seem almost impossible to obtain

How far do the doors open? Front doors seem to not open very wide... is 
this an adjustment?

Any suggestions on seat modification to allow tall people better access?

Thanks in advance.
