    Hard Top Side Window Buttons

    It would be interesting to know the best way to get those stupid little steel roll pins out. I would bet that they rust themselves in there and the only way to get them out would be to soak them in a rust remover like a Evaporust and then possibly drive out the roll pin. all the ones I've...

    Hard Top Side Window Buttons

    I sent off a later version of the hood pull it had a slightly cracked shaft section. A large number of cars got the hood pull with the cable and the bonnet marking pulled and lost as the hard rod was more reliable than the cable. Do you think the the cast in bonnet would be able to be...

    Hard Top Side Window Buttons

    After checking on the results of guys who made MK2 grills , fiberglass AC housings it was quickly learned how fickle owners can be. One fellow held at arms length a air cleaner housing and claimed its weight was different than his original. He must've been having a flash back on his misspent...

    Hard Top Side Window Buttons

    It's tough to remember everything. I was really thinking about the B post wide and narrow parts but the buttons were on the move on pile. The hood pull was in that pile as well... One of those in Delrin would be awesome..

    Diff oil

    I put a shiny brass key in the GL5 oil. I left it in there for over a year, and it looked like the day I put it in. Don't miss the "Oil Expert." He's busy trolling MK on another forum. But I hate to "" him but he espoused that they put additives in the GL5 to not hurt yellow metals.

    Diff oil

    Tigers don't have a hole on the passenger side. There's a removable plate on the driver's side for adjustment of shift linkage. I suspect that I'll try a longer tube and a higher gravity feed. It took a couple of pumps to get to this stage. I talked to a fellow Tiger owner and he in person...

    Diff oil

    While on the subject... Every pump I have bought is a pile of crap. I finally put a long tube through the boot vent hole into the rear end. With no lift and not much patience it's less on the floor and les crap in the eye balls... But the transmission is another challenge, as there's no...

    British Car Club of Central Florida - All-British Car Show, April 6th

    That's the only set or repop LAT pie wheels I've seen on a car. If you zoom in the pie spokes aren't curved where they meet the circumstance of the wheel.

    Rootes Refurbed Radio

    There's quite often a Bendix Sapphire I that was as common as the VW beetle. The same radio and most importantly knobs. In 67.5 they went to flat FMVSS flat rubber knobs . I have a lonely bracket that needs a home.

    Roll-bar plans & specs?

    Down to the floor means a forward facing passenger side strut . That strut impedes significantly with the passenger side. If you've seen the Tiger trip video like Forest Brooks the loveable drink from the Johnny Carson show, but all more than our OP asked for here ;) I'd like a single hoop...

    Roll-bar plans & specs?

    Apparently the show bars get you in to track events. As the OP said it's looks and a place to hang a shoulder harness. CAT allegedly did sell a Autopower copy but I've not seen one that was marked to indicate that. The Autopower has a part number on it. There is a Cobra single hoop and a...
