Re: Brads Tiger

Yes i did and they did a nice job too. So as usual some forwards progress and some not so forwards. First up was not getting a 12V supply to the MDS unit when cranking that was my mistake as wired to no.4 on the ignition key it should have been no.2. Then put the dizzy back exactly where it was afte...

Re: Brads Tiger

Re: Brads Tiger

Thanks Gary but they don't have hood bins, which is the bit i need to see. Anyway that's on hold for the moment as one of the windscreen catches exploded under tension. :( So moved on to the diff pinion seal which i saw was leaking when i did the exhaust, lots of agro getting the nut off ended up as...

Re: Brads Tiger

Looking at it again, i think that section just flops over and is held in place by the 1/4 hood bin?

Re: Brads Tiger

Can anyone post a photo of how the soft top goes around the hood bins nearest the seats, i've seen videos where they say don't screw that section to the hood with the smaller ali extrusions but they don't have hood bins?

Re: Brads Tiger

Exhaust in, just need to check for clearances before final tightening. https://www.dropbox.com/s/dsn74urxumcp6xg/IMAG6975.jpg?dl=0 Some of the tube sections were not quite perfectly round after welding so this tool sorts it all out. https://www.dropbox.com/s/3zote1xl3e3c9bd/IMAG6974.jpg?dl=0 I was w...

Re: Brads Tiger

Thanks sent them an email. Bit of progress, a bit of a set back and a bit sideways.

Re: Brads Tiger

Now i've got the seats in just as i suspected the Irving chute seat belt buckles are not in the right place, this is due to them being stitched at the buckle rather than sliding, so they will need adjusting, can anyone recommend a seat belt company? https://www.dropbox.com/s/xaun2anisgeqqwh/Irving%2...

Re: Brads Tiger

Nothing left to fit now too prevent first start up, first time since 1972 i believe.

Steering, front brakes, soft top, wheels and tyres, and seat belts left to do now.

Re: Brads Tiger

Rear section tacked in without any pie cut sections, front to do next and that's going to be tricky with the X member cut out.

I used wood spacers to ensure the pipes are parallel with the boot floor.

Re: Stadium Type Mirrors

You have to ask for the convex ones, no extra charge though.
