Not sure if I am on topic here or not, but there is a counter set screw/screws
in the seat frame that I am told are "Wentworth" (sp?). I have been told that
the seat frames were made by a company whose main line of business was making
seats for the British Aircraft industry, when there was one going back in the
60's Wentworth was supposedly the standard used in the British Aircraft
industry back then. Anyone remember the Comet airliner? I believe SS sells the
screws, look under "upholstery" for special screws. Hope that is relevant!

I try to help when I can and that's good enough for me. There will
always be things about our cars we don't truly know or understand; sometimes
all it takes is the desire to look, understand and comprehend.
OK, that was a veiled promotion of my Original Tiger Engine Study.
I'm still looking the Ford parts configuration on many of the engine groups.
Contact me off list for the information I'm studying.
Also on that 5/16 - 24 screw - I put my SAE thread gage on it and
the 24 is close but not quite right. It maybe the difference between
British thread spec and the SAE thread spec. Since you will probably be
making parts to work that really doesn't matter in this case.

Ron:
Now that I have had another look at your email in the cold, hard light of
day, I just have to comment on how lucky we are as a member of the Tiger
community to have guys like you, who have these incredible resources at your
"finger tips" and are willing to take the time to dig these obscure parts
out and take photos of them, measure them with great accuracy, and send them
to us needy Tiger folk, along with informed comment and opinion, to keep us
on the right track to properly restoring our cars. (sorry for the long
sentence, but I had to get it all out!)
I for one am <x-apple-data-detectors://0> supremely grateful, and hope
someday to discover some truth about our cars that you and you fellow
"guru's' don"t know
(unlikely!) so I can repay you in some tangible way.
Many many thanks Ron,
Dave

Isn't the English language wonderful and so hard to understand sometimes.

The barrels - 5/16 <x-apple-data-detectors://2> x 24 OD = .5" 3/8"
long
Pivot screw - Total length = 1.06" Threads - OD = .485" looks close to
