Theo is correct, as usual. TAC criteria has absolutely nothing to do 
with what parts are on a car. It's all about evidence of the factory 
methodology used in the car's construction. If a vehicle was not 
originally built as a Tiger, there is nothing you can do to disguise 
that. I can say that because I am not a certified TAC inspector, but 
you won't see comments on this subject from those who are because 
that would not be in keeping with the ethics of the service they provide.

IMHO, TAC has made a significant contribution to the documentation 
and value of legitimate Tigers. Without it, we probably wouldn't even 
be having this discussion today. Too bad administration of the 
program isn't more aggressive.
