I had been thinking about this. Could the various clubs (CAT, TE/AE,
STOA, etc.) consider adding e-mail addresses to their club roster
information? This would make the documents longer, but who uses
snail-mail any more?

Already heard from Mark that the images are "up" on his site. The only
thing scary about this Halloween decoration is that anyone would spend
time on this.

Been looking at these in catalogs for 20 years now, it seems like a good
idea. But where on a tiger would you fit one?

I think these are really good-looking wheels, except, perhaps for the
center cap attachment. But the last time I looked the Mustang II has the
same 4-bolt pattern as a Tiger; how would changing spindles (and hubs,
right?) help? Obviously, I'm missing something here. Or would Mustang II
spindles permit using earlier Mustang 5-bolt hubs?

Same thing?

O.K., I'll bite. I have never heard of, nor can visualize, this set-up.
Anything like a De Dion?

Of course, but I'll defer to the List's "experts" for an analysis of how
the finned covers keep the valve springs cooler to prevent high-rpm
float.

Congratulations. Nothing like sheer determination, eh? Good luck on V-6
Alpine, the ones I've seen are impressive, although I haven't seen any
finned "powered by Ford" valve covers for the V-6, so watch out for
overheated valve springs. :-)
Finally, I've been trying to clean up my files on "tech hints" from the
List. Some early stuff (for me) from late 1995 I only printed out, but
starting in early 1996 I started saving it to a Word document. Breaking
it out into catagories like Cooling, Suspension, Parts Sources, etc., I
find I have 1/2 Meg of hints. Keep it up, guys!
