Ho hum, wrong again

I'm still waiting delivery of my Tiger, but every TRE i have seen on other classics has been with the nut at the bottom. The steering arms are usually tapered & the TRE will only fit one way. Sounds to me like yours are OK.

Gents,
thanks for all the help, but Ned top bloke that he is has voluntered to bring the Tiger across himself. So time to tidy the gargage & hopefully it will still be sunny & BBQ weather when he arrives.

cheers
Brad

Nice twin DCOE set up you have, i've a triple DHLA 40 set up to fit to a straight six sometime soon.
cheers
