Nothing much to report over the last few weeks. Been away with work, family duties or man flu.
Bought a tyre from Poland (apparently). Will get that fitted to my spare rim.
Plan to get in the garage today and make progress towards getting the main tub off. However, it's minus 3 in there right now, so I've opened the door to let some warmth in!
Hopefully get the new bits from Tiger this week: wishbones, hub carrier, damper, etc.

Maybe a tad beyond original tolerance.
In a way this is good as the wishbones absorbed most of the energy of impact.

David check all the wishbone mounting on the box section and the join of the box section to the straight piece that goes along the bottom of the floor from side to side. get a wire brush and go all over the weld and the material it is welded to . These are very week and we have seen these crack in normal use by avon owners . Not hard to fix but best be safe

Thanks Dick. Bottom two brackets have sheared off and top two are suspect, so will need replacing. Some of the tubes are not quite straight, but will only be able to assess properly when more dismantled.

We have cut them out and replaced a few. Must say its a common problem on kitcars with the rear wishbone system and is not confined to just tiger

Tiger is doing a roaring trade on wishbones this month
