Folks

Alpine to B917290               1201200
Alpine from B917291             1210258, replaced by 1214930
(there is also 1201361, but I believe that this
was the knock-off wire wheels, though the parts list is ambiguous)

(source:  SUNBEAM ALPINE PARTS LIST SERIES I, II,
III, IV, & V, Revised, June, 1968, Rootes Publication 6600992))

Tiger                           1214930

(surce, PARTS LIST SUPPLEMENT FOR THE SUNBEAM
"260" AND "289", January, 1967, Rootes Publication 6601334)

So, the final answer seems to be that Alpne I and
early II used one road wheel but that all Alpines
from the later II's through the V and all Tigers
shared the same road wheel, 1214930.

It is possible that the original later II and on
road wheel, 1210258, was too weak for use on the
Tiger and that might explain the replacement by
1214930.  Or maybe Rootes was just consolidating their parts inventory.

Anyone want to disuss nave plates?  <he grins>
