In short, yes, but some are different.. you are better to just get a set of SIV drums, they should be available in NZ. Careful of the SV brakes with self adjustment.

Dales kit is a very nice bit of work.. with lots of hours in development. The toyzjunkie one from bonb was what started all these after market options.. and is meant to be very impressive. Joel Griffiths in the USA has been building his won version too. All these are designed to help not only with s...

Gary,

what parts do you need? What condition? I may have alead for you

I'm sure most of us watch and enjoy Top Gear.. and get an extra kick out of it when they do a classic review. However we know they love to ham it up and will always make fun of reliability, handling etc of old cars. That said.. i'd love them to do a small bit on Sunbeams.. they havent done classic r...

Id hazard a guess that the tags and "tiger specific" parts are on a car here in AU. There was a blue MKI for sale here about 2 years back.. imported from NZ after being imported there from the UK. Car was a rebody.. id say we found the doner.

You need wheels that are 4x4 1/4 (4 x 108mm) they are on capris, cortinas, porsche 924 hillman etc.. one thing to watch out for.. careful on full lock at the front.. the different offsets from other wheels can make the leading edge of the wheel/tyre catch the guard and will wreck your new paint work.

As for the increase in value, I was talking to a longstanding STOC member the other day who recalls selling in 1986 a complete set of new - in the packet - Tiger 2 sill trim and wheel arch mouldings for GBP30...... what would that lot set you back today?
