I will soon be needing to replace my mild steel exhausts with stainless steel . Has anyone recently fitted the club s/s systems and if so were there any problems such as fouling the cruciform pass throughs ?

I found that when I refitted my exhaust manifolds, that it is possible to move them slightly fore and aft by about 2 mm due to the size of the bolt holes being somewhat larger than the the size of the bolts. Although this does not sound much ,it could be that if you slackened the bolts and pushed th...

Has any tiger owner ever changed the water pump with the fan still attatched? On my current tiger there is not enough clearance to remove the fan without first removing the radiator.

Does any member know if Edelbrock makes cylinder heads for the 260 engine? I know that they make them for the 289 engine and that some members have fitted cast iron 289 heads to the 260 . Does this mean that the 289 alloy Edelbrock heads could be fitted to the 260? I suspect that the diameter of the...

When I removed the heads on my Tiger a while ago I found that all the exhaust valves were stainless steel. The valves were Ford original with the Ford logo stamp. To my knowledge the heads had not previously been removed. Has anyone else found this. The engine is the original 260.

The washer bottle sits on the large bracket in the corner. The metal cage round the bottle is attatched by a bolt which passes through the small bracket by your white wire and into a captive nut on the bottle cage. I think the bolt is 3/4x 1/4 " UNF

I seem to catch my foot on the floor mounted dip switch when operating the clutch on my Tiger. Has anyone else had this problem and if so can the dip switch be repositioned ?

Could any Tiger owner recommened a make of stainless exhaust which will fit perfectly first time as I understand some makes need a bit of fettling to make them fit? My old mild steel ones are about ready to be feplaced.
