Subject: [Tigers] Tiger information / Dry ice blasting
Hello all,
I bought my Tiger in 1976, and the guy that I bought it from had executed a
new exterior paint job that was really nice (it covered over the rust quite
well!). To hide the surface rust in the trunk, he coated it with some tarry
substance that has NEVER set up; still stickyish. Time to fix this mess.
Several years ago, in Auto Restorer magazine there was an article about a
guy in Colorado that had a Dry Ice Blasting system in the back of his open
bed truck. He could drive to jobs and do the deed. There is a local company
in Salem MA called ServPro (franchise) that quoted me between $ 2200 - $
2400 to dry ice blast the trunk floor of my Tiger. I choked. They said
they'd have to rent a machine, get the dry ice pellets, etc and then do the
deed.
Does anybody know of a company in New England or Eastern Upstate NY that has
a machine and could do it for less that $ 1,000 ?

Hi guys,
If you are offended by reading an email about non-Tiger, please stop hereand
delete.? I am just reaching out to the broader English car world tohelp us
find a missing part.
We purchased a 1962 Elva Mk6 sportsracer, and we're in the process
ofrestoring it.? There were only 28 of these made.? When new, the ones set
upfor FIA racing had a windshield wiper.? None of the current cars still
havethe wiper.? Our car was set up for FIA racing and in fact did FIA
racing.So we want to get that wiper again.? It is super short - not just the
bladebut the arm too.
Attached is a picture of our car in period.? It's about the best picture
ofany of the cars showing the wiper.? Anyone have any thoughts?? I've
lookedat every MG, Triumph, Morris, Jaguar, etc., that I can find.? And gone
toall the suppliers and looked at their catalogs.? Nothing jumps out as
smallenough.? It is possible that they got one of the stock ones, and just
cutit down.? Someone just said that ironically one of the smallest arms
he'dseen was on a big Healey.? Note too that ours was not the only one that
wasall black.
Thanks for any thoughts.? And apologies to anyone offended.

Jay:
Sorry, I cannot get any attachments from the list, they are always
?scrubbed?. But, just for fun, I did a search for ?snowmobile wipers? and
the results show some very short ones both arms and blades. No idea why I
did that, no snowmobiles around here. Good luck!
