    Alpine hood badge as tiger horn button

    I am about to machine aluminium rings for myself and my mate to fit an early Alpine hood badge as a horn button in my Tiger. I have seen this before so not my bright idea. Must have been an enthusiast made part? New repro Alpine hood badges are readily available, and quite reasonable from...

    Where can I get STOCK front coil springs?

    The front coil spring rate is linear and a shim will not increase pressure. It will increase the spring height

    Where can I get STOCK front coil springs?

    Coil Spring Specialities is your best choice, and you will just have to wait. Any rate and height you want. The Mustang II rubber isolator is about half that of a Tiger and will drop the height 2X the difference in thickness, or about .75 - 1". Conversely a thicker rubber will raise the car...

    Tiger One Wire Alternator Conversion Pulley Alignment

    BTW, I have now re-designed this bracket to fit both the Powermaster 93mm and 100mm frame "mini" alternators, so that you can have a choice of outputs up to 75A.

    Tiger One Wire Alternator Conversion Pulley Alignment

    If using the stock Tiger pullies (or my billet pullies), the shorter alternator bracket standoff marked "dipstick" is to allow for the thickness of the dipstick bracket at the head, and with the fan flange on the water pump in the correct Tiger position it should all line up. The most common...

    Tiger pulleys

    I suspect that very few, if any, still have the stock Tiger water pump flange, and use a common Ford water pump, and push the fan hub inboard to the stock Tiger position. I have redesigned both the stock, and "Fairmont" water pump pullies to fit both the stock 1" hub, and common Ford 5/8 water...

    Sunbeam Tiger alternator bracket

    I have now re-machined the Sunbeam Tiger Denso alternator bracket to fit both the 93 and 100mm Powermaster alternators. While at it, I counterbored one hole to give a bit more clearance on the hose clamp at the water pump heater outlet. Fits: 93mm Powermaster (30A idle x 55A max speed) models...

    Heater outlet rubber elbows

    Thanks to all for the help. I only have elbow, and too thought that I needed another. I have also found that 38mm hose as used on a Beetle is very similar, and easy for me as CIP1, the big VW supply house, is right here in Vancouver. https://www.cip1.ca/search-results-page?q=VWC-113-819-723-AL
