Re: dashboard

I believe my Dash is original and has stated all the writing for Wipers, Lights, Panel Lights & Blower are in white and appear to be under the varnish?

Re: Hardtop Stainless finisher - Fitting advice

Bill Thanks for the info, I Have read this method before on-line but thanks anyway. It sounds like it is very difficult to fit the Stainless finisher/spreader trim with the window & Rubber in place and impossible to fit the 2 retainer clips :( I've also read a tip on the Tiger Facebook pages of how ...

Re: Mystery Hole

My RHD Tiger also has this hole blanked off with a Grommet, could it be for the Throttle Linkage or Cable on a LHD Tiger maybe?
