I have purchased 2 of the strengthening kits from
http://www.tigerengineering.net/
Excellent instructions in .pdf form as well.
They will be going on in a month
or so.
Hope this helps.

Subject: RE: [Tigers] Body Modifications
for larger Wheels
Joel...can you or the list direct me to any advice on the
strengthening
plates? My car perpetually lives on the rotisserie since I got
sidetracked
on another project, but its stripped and primed...basically at
just the
right spot to consider any strengthening. I would like to at least
consider
strengthening the chassis in any way that helps but does not
compromise a
specific "Tiger" feature...for example, I don't want to cover up
my exhaust
pass thrus....or anything like that...but if its small gussets and
plates at
specific locations...much like reinforcing a crossmember...I'm all
about it.
Plus when the time comes im definitely going with 15" or maybe even
16"
wheels....

I am currently finishing stripping the 1966 MK1A for
partial sandblasting,
body
work, strengthening plates and plan to install 15"
wheels. I am
thinking I
should have the body shop make the necessary body
modifications to
handle the
larger wheels. From what I understand, these
modifications are
minor and should
not effect the finished product.
