The original ones are nice and if its colour matched even better! Just make sure you inspect it thoroughly for repairs and rust in the usual areas before you buy it.
You will pick up a rear finisher in time.

When converting my previous car to RHD I borrowed an original and had one sand cast at my local foundry. It may be worth asking a fellow owner nicely if you can borrow onw?

Most MK1 Tigers have had their panhard rod mounting torn out at some point. Rootes sent a bulletin to the dealers showing how to weld in a strengthening plate.

Then mark every 6.5" and the last hole is approximately 1.5" from the edge of the sunbeam sheild. Just the front wings to sort ...
