    Winter Disk Brake Project coming along.

    Winter Disc Brake Project coming along. I am using John Logan's article in Rootes Review, Vol. 33 No. 5. May 2007 for this conversion. I tell ya, 79-85 RX7 brake assemblies are not easy to find. I joined a RX7 forum and got these from a guy parting out his car. Do not use the online...

    AutoMeter 8000 Cobra Tach

    Thanks to Paul Breuhan (prbreuhan@hotmail.com), I am happy with the appearance and PERFECT function of the electronic AutoMeter Cobra 8000 RPM Tach. A very affordable option to all of the original tach problems. We ended up using a Alpine tach face, original needle and Paul's custom silk...

    I just got back from Pennsylvania and had a find while there. On hwy 443 between West Hanover and Fort Indiantown Gap I saw a row of MGBs in a field. On further inspection, I discovered a Alpine that can not be seen from the road. From the old google imagery photo, there were...

    Autometer Cobra 8000 Tach installed

    Much Thanks to Paul R. Breuhan [prbreuhanAThotmailDOTcom] for his screening services, I now have an accurate 8000 tach in my Tiger. I used the original gauge's class, outer and inner bezel too. This takes about 1 hour worth on modification to the autometer's case. Now a question for you...

    Hub Pulling.................too easy.

    So my right rear wheel bearing is making a hell of a noise. This means, I need to separate the hubs from the axles. I have been reading the horror stories for some time now about this task. With several weeks prep, I dug into it last week. I of course planned on replacing both wheel bearings...

    I need a screw.................or two.....

    Hello all of my Sunbeam friends, I learned so much at SUNI V. One of the things I learned was that I have the wrong hardware on the heater core access panel. I am looking for the original screws that have the semi circles stamped on the heads. I also am missing the four clips that...

    What was I thinking…cross country in a Tiger………. ……………with a generator. I get up at 0350 on Thursday morning with a 740 mile trip to Round Rock, TX ahead of me. The Tiger had been extensively prepped for the trip to include a fresh pan of oil and pressure blead brakes. I even put...

    Jim E, please clarify...

    BLUF - not trying to start a fight here. Please keep it civil. My question is: can you quantify this statement? A Tiger with its original 260, 4 barrel, F4B manifold and a mild cam can easily make in the 200 HP area with more than that in torque. The Ford factory 260 that were installed...
