Newbies get a lot of good advice here.....I was a newbie once ten years ago
and over the years have appreciated my scatter shield, added the
Logan/Johnson fulcrum pin fix, Dales Ackerman fix, did the Crawley cross
member strengthening, added the Paulick 3" conduit to the exhaust pass
throughs, used Derrick Whites dual brake master cylinder, hardened the valve
seats, solved the overheating problem with 300HP, got tips on investment
painting form Tim Ronack, and how to locate Martha for interior work.
Thanks guys.....I really enjoy spinning the tires but don't drive over 80
MPH just in case something was overlooked. RObin

A newbie to this list may wonder what type of nut drives a Sunbeam Tiger,
First we had discussion on "exploding ball joints" a while back , then it
was
brought up that these cars have suspension fulcrum points ready to snap
while
backing out of your driveway (if you are lucky and not on the road driving)
,
now we have flywheels and clutch assemblies that "explode" with the force
of
a small bomb cutting off limbs or converting you to a gelding. Anyone
reading this list has to conclude that the Tiger has to be one of the most
life and limb threating vehicles on the road.
