My Tiger is on the road again following two months of "winter project".
Thanks to everyone on the list who helped along the way. Here are some
notes from the project. I don't mean this to sound like an "advertisement"
for anyone, but I wanted to let people know where I got various parts and/or
had work done.
I used Spectrum Spectrum Powder Coating, 2694 Middlefield Road, Redwood City
CA 94063, 650 367 4940,
http://www.spectrumpowdercoat.com/. They did a fantastic job, were on time
and stuck to their price estimate. Great job on taping off sections of
parts that were not to be coated. Expensive, but worth it.
Had the front aligned by Custom Alignment, 2599 Wyandotte St. Unit A,
Mountain View, CA 94043, 650-961-5311. Kevin, who did the work, had done
Tigers before and did a great job. Get this - he even knew about shimming
the crossmember for more castor. I got a 10% discount for being a NorCal
Shelby Club member.
I bought my CenterForce Clutch from Performance International, Costa Mesa,
CA, 800 522 1672,
http://www.performanceintl.com. Their prices were the best anywhere. Clutch
Part No. 280490 for $72.68, Pressure Plate Part No. CF360030 for $112.06 and
Throwout Bearing Part No. N-1439 for $31.15. What a great clutch. Highly
recommended.
A-arm bushings and lower fulcrum pins from Dale A.
Front springs from Dale A.
Front Carerra shocks from Dale A.
Upper and lower ball joints, tie rods, rack and pinion convolute covers,
front brake pads, front wheel bearings from Rick at SS.
Stainless steel oil pressure line and brake hoses from CAT.
Right angle oil filter adapter from Ford Motorsports.
Replaced the speedo cable and finally got the speedo working nicely.
These are great cars aren't they!
