[Tigers] russo steele tiger listing

Duke:
Now I'm even sorrier I didn't get to see your car at United!
A set of those was on my Tiger when I bought it (still have the wheels, 
tho the car is gone).  They're very light--I believe they were a 
magnesium/aluminum combination (magnalume??).  Or perhaps they were all 
magnesium. One of the wheels had a crack and I couldn't find anyone 
who'd weld it ("Magnesium?!?  Sorry, gotta go.  I think I hear my mother 
calling!!") :-)

And yes, I do know what happens if magnesium ignites. :-(

They look good on your car!

Best Regards

P.S. Surprised to find out there's at least 2 other Tigers with those 
wheels.
P.P.S.  I believe that's the same JAP that built the engines on the 
Morgan 3-wheelers.  Anybody know for sure?
