Hi Graham

That's good to know, I've now got my Ticket now and put down Sunbeam Tiger Club so hopefully we will all get parked together?

Rootes Heritage Day at Gaydon - Sunday July the 17th

Is anyone else taking their Tiger to this event at Gaydon?

It seems excellent value with entry to the nearby Classic Ford Rally and the Museum for two people all for £9

I will be attending with a friend in my car

Re: wiring loom recommendation?

Dave I purchased a standard Wiring loom off Autosparks for a Triumph I restored in 2002, I was impressed with the quality and I fitted it without any issues? It looks like Autosparks do a number of options and I'm sure they will be able to make you a custom made Loom with additional Fuses and relays...

Yes Gary... fully on!
Ok great, thanks for confirming Graham.

I will get the date added to my diary?

Hopefully some sort of normality to the Classic car show scene this year, I've pencilled in the Sunbeam Spares day on the 1st of May as well :D

Re: callipers

If you have the original Girling 16P Calipers fitted the thread should be 3/8" UNF for the Bleed Nipple and Pipe inlet This is a link from a Triumph Website regarding the 16P Calipers (Thread sizes should be the same for all UK supplied Cars I believe?) https://forum.tssc.org.uk/applications/core/in...

You may find when you use the car and have done a few hundred miles the suspension will settle

How much uprated are your springs?

Re: Wheel sizes

I have 6" wide rims 13" Diameter on my Car with 185/70 Tyres with no issues, the off-set is the important thing but I would guess 8" wide would be marginal. The Tyre Selector for 8" Wide rims suggest 225 or 235 is ideal with 215 the minimum which will safely fit, you don't say what diameter the Rims...
