They might be SS pieces? My Tiger has the plastic covers, but my Alpine parts car came with pressboard covered in vinyl for the gas tank covers. That seems much more OEM to me... Theo _______________

The original covers were made from press board, I think that is what it was called, and had the black grain finish embossed on one side. The press board would swell and almost fall apart when it was

The original panels in my Tigers were masonite with a black leather-looking texture on the outside. Sunbeam Specialties offers a very nice set of ABS, Haircel One-Side/ Smooth One-Side panels. The s

The original isn't plastic, it was a cardboard fiberboard sort of stuff, coated with something like black paint or vinyl. The kind of stuff that puffs up and weakens when wet. The plastic ones are th

If memory serves, the gas tank covers where made of plywood and covered with the same material as the spare tire/trunk platfor. They had a piece of thin angle rivetted on each cover to help support t

Nope. The gas tank covers were, as other people have replied, a grained pressboard. No plywood tank covers were ever supplies by Rootes for the Series Alpines or Tigers. Andy Walker Edmond, OK B3820
