As a recent buyer of a Tiger here in Australia, that has come out of LA and
is in need of restoration (It's all pretty well there and in reasonably good
shape). As it turns out I need to go to San Francisco middle of July on
business so what better place to do some shoping for bit's and pieces that I
need! I have managed to add a few extra days to my itinerary for this.
Alpine and Ford V8 parts are no problem here, but if you think Tigers are
rare in the US, you should try here. From what I gather there are about 35
or so cars in total here.
Main bits that I know I need at this early stage are: All the rubber ware,
door seals etc, Original air cleaner (yes me too!), Replacement chassis
rails where the exhaust pipes go through. (Does anyone make replacement
sections?, with the hot/cold of these I would assume rust here is common).
Front turn indicators, rear light assemblies. Plus anything else that may
turn up.
I intent visiting Sunbeam Specialties, any other suggestions?
Does anyone need a Left Hand Drive steering rack assembly?, As I need to
convert my car to RHD this will become available when I start to pull the
car apart. It looks in fine shape. (This will be after I build a garage).
