Scott,
Dale Akuszewski runs "Dale's All British" in San Bernardino, California.
Dale without question has the most forward-thinking Rootes Racing Shop in the
world. Over the years, Dale has released kits that almost resolve the
Ackerman angle compromises Rootes built into every Tiger, rear disk brake
systems for Tiger (easily converted to Alpine), quick ratio Tiger steering
racks, two rates (race and street) state-of-the-art design rear leaf springs,
and so far he has equipped 16 Tigers with MY rebuilt Tiger steering columns.
Dale is a Tiger Vintage racer with a focus, and considering how he and
other Dale-equipped cars are hammering the Corvettes and Shelby Mustangs,
wherever they race...he must be doing something right. His updated parts
work because they are tested and improved in real racing...yes race fans,
Vintage Racing is every bit as competitive as "real" racing.
Regarding your search for replacement leaf springs, I highly recommend
you choose Dale's street-Tiger springs for your Alpine. As I wrote to you
before, his springs have the forward portion of the main leaf wrapped
completely around a small front eye-bush, resulting in much greater side
stability of the spring (no more scrubbing sidewalls). Many Tiger owners
have eliminated their Panhard rods after installing Dale's leaf springs.
Dale can be reached at: 909-799-2099 Please tell him I sent you.
