Dave- if you look on your Tiger you will find 2 screw holes in the places you
see the lugs. I have a set someplace but like your car, many are missing.
Notice the false floor and you will see two turn clips- I think a wide blade
screwdriver or a .25 cent piece will trun them. The lugs you see have a hole
with a wire across the hole. When the platform is down and you have the twist
locks in place they are designed so as they turn -they are barell shaped with
a S type cut out up the sides- as you turn they tighten on the wire and holds
the platform down- locks it in place. Im certain someone else could describe
them better but they are orginal to the car-If they where in the first or
introduced later I dont know- the MT screw holes will tell if a Tiger had them
and I think all Tigers did- another way to tell an original platform as
well.

I noticed something in the boot that I had never noticed before on a Tiger:
(mine does not have these) it looks like there are false-floor supports in the
rear-most corners of the trunk. Are they stock? Are they bolt-ins or are they
welded to the rear wall?
Its a b*st*rd living so far away from other Tigers.....(:O)
