Robert:
The Alpine trans tunnel is narrower than the Tiger tunnel, so the Alpine
false floor is wider to fill the space.
There is a shop in New England that claims the original Tiger FF was made by
cutting down the Alpine FF. From looking at mine, I believe that could be
true. They make Tiger false floors the same way and frequently sell them on
eBay. They also re-build brake vacuum units, a-arms, body panels, etc.
I have no interest other than as a satisfied customer.
Here is one of their eBay listings:

Contact Randy Willett at this shop. He also makes the small brackets that
hold the FF to the floor.
Here is a FF for sale from another seller on eBay. I am not familiar with
this seller.

Good luck with your resto!

Robert and Cullen:
I don't believe the Alpine footrest is the same as the Tiger but it
might be possible to make an Alpine part into the Tiger footrest.

Guys: I'm finishing the restoration on my '66 Tiger and I need to
find a passenger footrest. Anyone have an extra for sale? Or know of a
source?
My car did not have a footrest when I got it, so I don't even have a
pattern. So even a photo would help.
Any help appreciated. Thanks.
