I got someone to tear that page out for me. Anyone notice the exhaust pipe (it
sure _looks_ like an exhaust, it has a pipe clamp on it) just under the sills?
Seems more like a placement for a 1961 Chevy than a Tiger. Or maybe itbs
just a b secret weaponb installed on the car.

I mentioned this before: I got away with a copper pipe fitting, male threads
to female b sweatb , IIRC B=b or B>b , with the senderbs threads ground
down and _soldered_ inside. Looks funky, but it works.

Lots of good advice in previous posts. I used G8 in suspension, etc. where
strength is paramount, and stainless everywhere else in the car. Uh, how much
load you gonna put on trunk hinge bolts anyway? One application where I was
cautioned was the master-cylinder mounts; I used stainless anyway and b so
far, so goodb . :^O
Now, if someone made a G8 version of the ball-headed pivot bolt for the
Mk1bs boot doors, maybe those wouldnbt breakb&

My last couple of visits to Home Depot disappointed; maybe therebs no money
in bolts, etc. but the stainless-steel selection stank. Lowes has a huge # of
drawer bins for stainless b all empty. Aargh! Back to the local hardware
store (while it survives) for me.

This is great. Reminds me of the b Heritageb shells for MGBbs, Bugeyes
and the like. If theybre taking suggestions, make mine 1953 Studebaker (uh,
factory approval or support unlikely, though) coupe. The Camaro sounds neat
itself, but a Firebird variation would be even better.

Pentastar = pentagram; what demons do you really want to summon? I knocked
mine off my old Alpine with a cold chisel. Anyway, Ibll look and see if I
have any pictures from before then. (Guess which domestic manufacturer I
donbt like.)

Long ago, I borrowed an original from Wally Swift and made copies; one for me,
one for him b including index sets. I tell you, by the time I was done, if
were asked to do another, yeah, I would ask for a _chunk_ of money. OTOH, once
you have a clean, unwrinkled set with no dog-eared pages, making copies should
get easier. I guess it depends on whether youbre looking for information or
investment value.
