Certainly looking good Brad, you must be very pleased with the result so far. Keep the updates coming in, they are great to see
Funnily enough Simon, I spoke to Image Wheels last only last week on recommendation. They certainly have an impressive choice.meadowhog wrote:Id love to change my Revolutions
I was mildy dissapointed at MiniLites as they have a very limited offering, and not prepared to accomodate any special requests. On the other hand, Image were very friendly.
Getting there, i'll be happy when it's in paint, as welding work is always a low point in a project, you never know what your going to find.Tomaselli wrote: Certainly looking good Brad, you must be very pleased with the result so far. Keep the updates coming in, they are great to see
Remade a couple of sections to get a better fit as the previous ones were copies of the originals which i now know had been chopped around. Bit of a pain getting the inner wing right as the outer wing had to be fitted every time.
Anyway just about ready for a spray of weld through primer then welding.
I've read that i need to stiffen up the front spring hangers, is there a tried & tested best way to do this?

When I spoke to Minilite at the NEC about there new 16x7" wheels I asked if they did a 30mm offset which is the same as the Panasport. The abrupt reply I got was "no only 15mm max but you should be ok as we are only talking about 15mm difference!"
Ok I will just buy wheels that protrude then shall I?
Not impressed!
Front suspension can be a problem on the top of spring. Heres a link to a previous STOC chat. Should be all you need.

Excellent front spring hanger reinforcement guidance here. Tom Hall's work is well tried and tested! http://www.tigerengineering.net/TECHTIP ... cement.pdf
Seems to me your Tiger could do with a page in "The TIGER50 Book" of Sunbeam Tigers!!
