Since you have already located your company, this might not be
relevant.
Also, note the date!

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.
