Alpine and Tiger front steering knuckles

[hmihm]

does anyone know if Tigers used the same steering knuckles (aka stub axles or spindles) as series 4 and series 5 Alpines?
if so, the factory parts book shows early series 4 Alpines up to B94103418 as using different part numbered knuckles than the ones for later series 4 and series 5 after B94103418.
thanks

Apologies if this is a dumb question, but have you checked if there is a parts entry in the Tiger Parts List Supplement manual?

yes but no mention of that part, here is what says:

1224641 _..._........_............._._. ... STEERING ARM, N/S (L.H.) ... ... ... .. 1

the Alpine parts list shows a different part number for the early Series 4 than the one for later Series 4 and series 5 so if it is the same as an Alpine is it early or late?
thanks

I'm not sure, but maybe the date of the Alpine part number switch-over during the series 4 production versus when a given Tiger was built might be relevant.
You can get to a given week based on Alpine VIN @ http://sunbeamalpine.org/production-build-dates/
