It was a two man job, don't think i would do it alone unless the pivot point was centred with a chain hoist or something.Wilbur Bud wrote:Any worries rolling it over and back as a one man job? Any sense of continuing to roll over with the shorter length of the angled sides? What about all the way over and bottoms up?
It could go upside down, but theirs heaps of work to do with the car at 90 degrees.

I've got a couple of them in the barn somewhere (L & R). The end actually stays open until the fender bottom is fastened and then it's all covered with these little "filch" panels. I'l do some diggin' , randyBrad1380 wrote:I've been told the sill end finishers are NLA, does anyone have a close up of what they should look like?
thanks
The lower front fender sections shown as missing on your car are not a seperate unit on my series 5 alpine nor on my MK1 Tiger. The front fender extends down to the lowest level. the replacement panels I am fitting to the Tiger also came from a 5 alpine and they also do not have a seperate section.?

Randy,
be good if you do have some going spare, save me a bit of fabrication work.
cheers

Some inspirational work going on here!
Now with the uni-body stripped would be a great time to reinforce and relocate the panhard rod mount attachment point lower, so that the rod can be run parallel to the ground for better handling. Rolling the body over on its other side would make it really easy to get to. Maybe that is already in your "to-do" list. It's just seeing your last picture that made me think about it. See http://www.tigerengineering.net/TECHTIP ... 20rod1.pdf if you are interested in a refresher on this upgrade.
Cheers, Gene

Thanks for that hadn't really thought about strenthening the mount, but it seems a good idea.
I have made a Mumford link for the Sprite which is a progression from Panhard-Watts-WOB link, it has helped with the handling & lowered the rear roll centre a couple of inches to even it up with the front, not sure if anyone here has tried it.
