    All that said the Lucas oil is what I've used.

    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...

    Heater Valve

    I have 2 or 3 of the later valves that show nicely. If someone has cut them apart it'd be nice to know if it's rubber or other failing seals inside.

    Hardtop color?

    A Tiger owner had a glass shop in North Hollywood/Burbank. He did movie car screens with special lens apertures. I have tried to get the mold from the new owner but struck out. As for the hard top Steve A. said that the paint on the gutter trim makes it harder to get it back on. But at some...

    Hardtop color?

    It's resale black on my car, Or has it been put that way. One day when I decide to drive in those 50% rainy days I may put one on . But I cheat and have a black car. White is best for visibility and surprising not to see the mini style checkered flag on some. I worked with my upholstery guy to...

    Lots of bits

    Here's a few more parts . The hard to find small buttons for the hard top clamps are available either for sale or free to a person that will reproduce them. If I had a little lathe and no other distractions they'd be on my list ... The side windows are available too. The plastic isn't useable...

    Side to side wheel base

    I had a Tiger that was close to 3/4 off on the 86 " wheelbase. As fate would have it that was the side that didn't have an SV front corner. I put 2 different front suspensions on the car and had the nearly same result. I do know that guys have elongated the mount holes in the cross member to...

    S-III windshield chrome trim

    That's because all stainless steel is not created equally. Put most in a Marine environment and you'll see. It's amazing though that hard tops rust away leaving the trim. So it is likely a different vendor used in production. Look at the typical Chinese BBQ...

    Craigslist has a requirement for a price. Don't be like the guy that asked for one of Eric's Delrin steering wheel hubs for 25 dollars at Woodley Park because it was near the auto. jumble. I took 50 of the retail price on that item . If this response is a commentary on should prices be...
