    Wilwood Brake and Master Cylinders

    No worries. When I first looked I saw the single and thought, wait Toyanvil put tandem mc on his car and that is a single. hmmmm Then I saw the double with no reservoirs.

    Wilwood Brake and Master Cylinders

    You got Tiger on the brain Jay. Prop. valve is just located where a tiger clutch would be.

    Overdrive not working

    Doubtful. A relay is just a switch that allows a low current device to control a high current one. If you want independent control of wipers and blinkers you need multiple relays. You probably have dirty high resistance grounds. Focus on those first.

    Overdrive not working

    You don't need parts yet. You need a voltmeter and a wiring diagram. Start at the beginning of the circuit. 1. Do you have battery voltage across the battery terminals. Yes go to 2. No . Problem found! 2. Put volt meter on wire leaving OD lever and ground. flip the switch. do you have...

    Alpine V8 conversion

    I understand the Alpine system. I understand the Tiger system. I am musing about a hybrid. Junk the Alpine box, cross over tube and the passenger side rocker. Keep the alpine rear steering arms mounted to the knuckle. Mount "somehow" a steering rack underneath the V8 at the fore and aft...

    Alpine V8 conversion

    I never looked to see if you can use Alpine rear steer arms and mount a rack in line with them. I imagine the Sump is too deep for that to work. If it was that easy, somebody would have done it by now.

    Alpine Engine Bay to Scan

    What file format will the scans be in? I am planning to put a Miata engine in an Alpine and a CAD model would be extremely helpful. I would be willing to kick in some coin to help with this effort.

    Alpine V8 conversion

    Volvoguys offered you a Tiger Dana 44 rear end. That will bolt in and be plenty strong. other choices. Ford 8 inch Must narrow housing and get axles made to match. 72-75 Jeep CJ axle. Also a Dana 44 with almost the same wheel mounting surface to surface as the Tiger and Alpine axles. Will...

    Alpine V8 conversion

    Can confirm. Tiger steering with wheels more than half cranked over is impossible for two people to push.

    This is for a Tiger but the Alpine should be very close http://www.tigersunited.com/techtips/MarroneCarpet/rt-MarroneCarpet3.asp

    Alpine V8 conversion

    Suggestions, yes. Forget the V8. It yields a go fast machine with piss poor handling. Not to mention the amount of work is eye watering. Put a 2.8L Cologne V6 or a NB Mazda Miata engine if you would like fuel injection. Way less work to get a running car. This advice comes from a Tiger...

    Sunbeam Safari

    Sure lights on a roll bar, fine. Can't imagine a vehicle less suited for driving in soft sand than an Alpine. This is coming from a guy who drove a 66 Mustang with 4 people 5 miles up a sand wash to visit Fonts Point in Anza Borrego. Getting a vehicle stuck in the sand, unstuck is HARD WORK.

    Identification number rear axle Tiger

    Here is a picture showing where the number is stamped. Number is under white highlighted area. Underside of snout same side as drain plug. I had to dig it up from the wayback machine on Norm Millers defunct registry website. https://web.archive.org/web/20110701104153/http://rootes1.com/
