Alpine/Tiger "X" Frame Replacement Panels

Here are a few PIC's of my new panels I have just received from my Draftsman/Engineer/Laser Buddy . They made me two of each for the Driver's side (left hand) for test fitting. The ones for the Passenger side (right hand) will be ready this week coming.

In the 1st PIC I have two of the panels that are the same. The single "new" one is a duplicate of the one in shown in the 2nd & 3rd PICs.

The 4th shows the two pieces for the Driver's side (left hand) panels being fitted.

I made the panels so that they could be used to replace all of the original metal as needed. In my case I have had to trim and cut openings as needed.

The panels being shown are for the left hand side.

There is also a "plate" to replace the center one that covers where the "X" comes together.

These panels were design so that the Exhaust thru could be made for the Alpine or Tiger as needed. In my case, the Green1 will be formed to allow for dual exhaust utilizing the original exhaust hole and adding another exact opposite.

More PIC's will be added as I determine best for informing the viewer.

I will posted the cost of these panels when I receeive the bill from CenterLineEngineering. If anyone may be interested please let me know.

Here is a picture of a page from the Alpine Guide showing specific components of the X-frame. I have made annotations hopefully to identify individual pieces.
