I wouldn't scrimp on brakes Martin. I'd suggest be safe and get a decent standard set for £24 from SS, should suit your needs as you are keeping your Tiger fairly standard with the original 260. They'll work from the off without the need to get any heat into the pad material. Only me 2 cents - of co...

Coz, they came from an Alpine. :shock: & were woefully inadequate. Suppose the 'bean counters' had to have their say at Rootes in period!

Maybe they worked in the sixties, but not today.

So what's your driving style leading to?

Depends what time of driving style you will have in the Tiger. You can always have different pads for different occasions. Works for me, I have EBC for road pads, they are fine not so noisy and unlike my Pagid Blue pads for track use do not need to get up to temperature before they become useable. B...

WTB: Stock Factory Radiator **Found**

Looking for a factory standard radiator for a project. Not needing aluminium replacement. Any condition considered, ideally one that needs work as it will be getting core element upgrade and a few other mods. Somebody must have an old original rad spare, so many Tigers now with alloy rads :mrgreen:

flying in an air display and had a fuel pressure gauge line crack and fill the cockpit full of fuel. Oh heck, bet that was a change of pants moment! Have used correct braided fuel pipe, hopefully that will offer some resistance to the damn ethanol in modern fuels. Least if it starts to leak, I'll b...

Note sure if it's the 'best' for your application but I routed my fuel line from underneath boot floor (where there is wire gauze fuel filter ahead of pump) into the spare wheel well. From there (fuel pump in well) fed the 10mm braided fuel line into the rear inner wheel arch down the B post and alo...

Seems these are no longer made and website as listed above now inactive.

I bought one via STOC a few years back, any ideas why production has ceased. I thought they were supposed to be superior in their design to the more conventional paper element.

Pity of the company or technology has folded....

Indeed, but the only thing to be aware of when bolting modern 'go faster' kit is it adds another dimension to the reliability of the setup. If you are thinking of say foreign trips into Europe, then you'll need to be aware of all the spares to take with you. I have a boot full of spares on my foreig...

I'm a big fan of also fitting MSD electronic ignition. Bigger bank for your buck! Every bit helps for delivering hooligan antics 8)
