I have to put on a new valence from Tiger Tom's. Several DPO's ago
someone cut out the "bulkhead" that goes in front of the lower radiator
and allows (on my car) a horizontal square tube of sheet metal to be
welded to the backside center of the front valence (behind the circle
hole). This is to stabilize the valence I presume. (I still have the
removed piece) At the SOS I checked every car there to see how they
handled the attachment of the front valence. Much to my surprise there
was another way the valence attached. On some cars, a flat metal bar
connected the bottom of the valence to the top by the center badege
assembly mounting. What's the deal with this? I saw Alpines and
Tigers done with both methods. Is it an Alpine vs. Tiger thing or an
change order in mid production? Which is appropriate for a Mk1a Tiger?
Thanks,
Chris
