Hi,

No problems at all, I get it right once in a while . I installed an electronic controller for my fans with an over-ride switch. The traffic overheating is very common, but is fixable.

Regards, Robin.

Hi I am new here so Sorry for asking silly question what does it mean car was the car noted in the book 'Tiger: The Making of a Sports Car' by Mike Taylor. Will you please make me understand if you don't mind. Thank you. Hi, I assume that from the post by bturner that he may have one of the Mk II t...

Hi Paul,

I personally have not fitted minilites, but they are available in 15" x 6.5 for the Tiger's. With every rim, as long as the offset is OK and if you use a wider rim/tyre you may need to trim the inner guard/lip. Performance wheels have a 7" wide x 15" rim.

Regards, Robin.

Hi,

Great action shots of the racing. Thanks for posting them.

Regards, Robin.

Thanks Robin,that pic is very similar to what David suggests and does look neat.Bigbobs idea sounds good as well,but would the alternator sit much lower to headers restricting air flow around them and absorb heat from that area,which is what i want to avoid.Many thanks Greg. Hi Greg, If you mounted...

Hi Greg, Great to hear that you made the national and found some answers to the heat problem. I saw some of the pictures that were posted of the national...BIG turn out. I noticed you are thinking of going for an alternator and I recently did the same. If you are interested, I have a plan (from a ve...

Hi,

What a great turn out. I don't think I have ever seen so many Tiger's in one spot before (especially Mk II's). Thanks for posting the pictures.

Kind Regards, Robin.

Hi,

Great pictures . Do you normally run with the Porsche's, A M's and Ferrari's? Surely they are not in the same category?

Regards, Robin.

Hi, There are some kits already available from the US (Dales restorations) and you could also try Sunbeam spares Co or Sunbeam supreme, both in the UK. I know Dales definitely has a kit, but I don't know how much modification is required. I think there is also a caliper upgrade with the standard dis...

Hi,

Thanks for the links to the racing Tiger's. Great pictures and footage.

Regards, Robin.

I,m getting confused now,ran car from cold,no cap on, fine ,no bubbles ran for 30 mins and could still put my finger in tank.replaced cap,closed bonnet temp rose to 200.turned off then water bubbles out of overflow.I am filling header level to top of top hose.previouse boil overs left top hose empt...

Hi, There have been a number of different installations of fan's in Tiger's. I personally have twin 10" fans installed, but I have heard that they can be too restrictive when not working (I have not had any problems though). The 12" fan is a good choice as it flows well and can be fitted into the ar...

Hi Stewart,

How did you fit a 16" fan in that space? . Did you block the horn holes, etc?

Regards, Robin.

Good to hear that you have found what is hopefully the problem. Keep us informed.

Regards, Robin.

Hi Greg, If your engine is running on, I am 99% sure that your ignition is out. Have you had a chance to check your ignition timing? If you have leaned down your carby, it would be worth checking you air/fuel ratio on a dyno or exhaust gas analyser. This will also cause hotter running. Regards, Robin.
