Bill/Rande:
That's very interesting - the "false floor" panels are different between the
Alpine>Tiger. The one that came in my car looks to be brand new. (The car was
cosmetically restored in Worcester, Mass in approx '86 - '88, and was not
driven until I bought it in 2002).
I suspect it was purchased and installed at that time.
That might explain why it doesn't fit very well. There is a relief in the trans
tunnel that looks like the FF should fit into, but the FF is too wide at that
point. Perhaps its for an Alpine that would presumably have a smaller tunnel
and thus more room.
On the FF forward side (facing the firewall) there are two spot welded brackets
at the top end: on the top left there is an open "U" bracket with unequal legs;
on the top right there is a closed "U" with a rubber plug protruding that
stands the FF away from the firewall.
Does this sound like the correct FF for the Tiger?
If either of you have any interest, I can email you a photo..
Thanks for your help!
Dave

Hi,
I tried looking in the parts catalogue for both Alpine and Tiger(brackets might
be the same, but the false floor(FF)/footrest is shaped a little different on
each.
I just took the FF and floor mat out of my car, and sent Dave photos of the
back of the FF.
As I got my FF years after I bought my car, can either Bill or Norm tell us
how the bottom of the bracket attaches to the real floor, rivets, screws, what?
