Re: Brads Tiger

Started on the exhaust, bit of a head warp but going slowly, measure 5 times cut once. First off was to make sure all the brackets fitted which they didn't. https://www.dropbox.com/s/juh8wf7yls83is9/IMAG6917.jpg?dl=0 Then starting from the rear heading forwards, i'll chop the tail pipes to length la...

Re: Stadium Type Mirrors

I fitted some, see page 35 of my thread.

You can get them with flat or convex glass brand new from Halcyon classic parts.

Re: Brads Tiger

Refurbished the seats, they were rather on the tired side. https://www.dropbox.com/s/xktjk51i5g341ng/IMAG5842.jpg?dl=0 This one even had a home made spring base with old clutch springs https://www.dropbox.com/s/bjd1newn0ep92d3/IMAG5858.jpg?dl=0 Painted all the parts https://www.dropbox.com/s/wm29g5t...

Re: Brads Tiger

Hi Gary, i got the bulkhead swivel parts, rod and arms, but they didn't give WOT, so played around with the pedal height, pedal throw and various arcs to give the required amount of travel at the carb, took much longer than i thought it would. Some of the rod linkages needed shortening other making ...

Re: Brads Tiger

Had a lot of challenges with the throttle linkage, trying to get WOT with the limited pedal travel, but got there in the end. Also hosing up had problems due to the carb and the different manifold, again took much longer to sort out than i wanted but go there in the end. Think i should have gone wit...

Re: Brads Tiger

Managed to recover the generator pulley, the shaft insert was a bit twisted, went from 64 thou run out to 1-1/2 thou which i thought was the best i was going to achieve, slowly slowly is the best way and keep resetting the fan blades as that affects the whole thing. https://www.dropbox.com/s/1tfd1s2...

Re: Brads Tiger

Took a look at the seats which have been up in the attic, the bottoms are shot, diapram rubbers, foam, most of the fasteners resisted to the point of destruction and the cover bottoms have been previously repaired, the seat backs are all good though. So need to find some good seat bottoms if anyone ...

Re: Brads Tiger

Trial fit of the windscreen went ok this time, took nearly a whole day though to get the hood frame to latch into it without putting any stress into the windscreen frame. https://www.dropbox.com/s/y6jo40rxnewzgyg/IMAG4973.jpg?dl=0 Actually this was on and off another 30 or so times to get everythin...
