    AutoMeter 8000 Cobra Tach

    Hey Duke, No I got off the list when I sold my Tiger in June. Also there was too much talk about Algers for my tastes...seems like the same silliness kept popping up over and over. Anyways... The LAT22 tachometer looks very much like the early 60s MG Midget, AH Sprite and mid 60s MGB...

    AutoMeter 8000 Cobra Tach

    If I do one face up at a time it's $55 including Priority Mail shipping back. It would be $35 each (including the same shipping) if I can do up an order of 3 faces at one time. Also it's not a silk-screening but a dry transfer process, there is just not enough volume to make silk-screening...

    Standard brake discs

    For Dale's Vented Upgrade kit you DO have to SPLIT the calipers. I don't believe in this day and age of lawsuits that Dale would offer something that could basically put him out of business if they were unsafe. Also my calipers before the upgrade were in perfect working order, so I had no...

    Standard brake discs

    I have Dale's Vented Upgrade on my Tiger. Installation was straight forward with no problems. Only driven the car 100 miles on the brakes, so I am not able to tell you about any differences in stopping quality. I do sleep a bit better knowing I have better brakes but not that much, I feel...

    This brings back memories!

    If it was cheap, it looks like a good project but if you parted it... hardtop ($700+ on Ebay)...front valance panel ($500+ on Ebay)...wood dash (to restore)...GT window chrome for the side glass (can't buy those)...wire wheel conversion for someone...if the dangling turn signal works then...

    Steering column bearing issue

    CraigB, The bearings are like the ones you would find on the front handlebars/fork of a bicycle...only cheaper. I am going by memory from a couple years ago (so I might not be exactly correct in the procedure) but you pretty much have to remove the steering wheel, remove a clip and a nut or...

    A question for the Tiger (and V6) guys

    I am an acceleration junkie so for me...cruising at 25, 55, or 85 for that matter...it's all the same. I like the sound, smell and feel of rowing through the gears from a stand still, while seeing how soon I can get up to the legal speed limit. :rolleyes: On the expressway, cruising along...

    Ford 260 V8 Long Block ** For Free!!!!!

    very cool Slant 6. What are future generations gonna crave? I just have hard time seeing horsepower being dumped on a regular basis for originality. Seems like too many Tigers are already too far to the dark side (to steal from the V6 Alpine guys). I thought about collecting stock parts...

    Ford 260 V8 Long Block ** For Free!!!!!

    Not trying to pick a fight with you. I applaud you for keeping your 260 with your car, and I applaud people even more for keeping it in the car and keeping it stock down to the carb and air cleaner, stock exhaust manifolds...I think people who do that are great. I have nothing against...

    ...that's purely conjecture on his part...there is no way to prove or disprove his claim. Paul

    Ford 260 V8 Long Block ** For Free!!!!!

    ...I don't believe it's an original engine and I know that he just built another 260 for his Tiger. It's pretty common for people just to dump their original 260s, few buyers seem to care. Paul
