And if no NOS parts are available anyway, you need big market demand to
justify the manufacture of repro parts. The clones help drive demand
and help support the repro/restoration business, which benefits all of
us. Repro parts are what make a car financially viable to restore.
How does the list feel about "Fake/repro" LAT items. I'm personally
glad they exist and have the Rick's TIGER valve covers and a repro hood
on my car, not to mention almost all the trim that was lost/damaged
over the years.
Do the repro LAT parts diminish the value of the originals? Most
certainly yes, from basic supply and demand. Imagine the eBay $ of
Tiger valve covers if repros had never been offered.
Does the greater Tiger community benefit from LAT and other repro
parts? Share your opinions.
